This book teaches little boys to live a life filled with the fruits of the spirit: Love, Joy and Peace, Patience, Kindness and Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, and Self-Control. Bible verses, quoted in their entirety with references, introduce each trait of a God-like heart. Then, through rhyming verse, the authors describe what that looks like and how little boys can exemplify it. For example, the section on patience includes these lines:"How can a guy wait when he's raring to go?He asks God for patience and help to go slow.When you're in a hurry, don't think of yourself.Instead ask the question, 'How can I help?'"Judy Luenebrink fills the book with beautiful paintings, both colorful and detailed. There are three full illustrations for each page of text. She also provided a map on the inside covers of "The Heart Land" which features "mountains of Joy", "pastures of Goodness", and the "Path of Patience", among others.What I Like: The concept is great; the content thorough. I really appreciate the inclusion of Bible verses, ideal for memorization. My son loves the train theme that runs throughout the illustrations and borders. He also likes having a book that's "just for boys!"What I Dislike: I think the book would have been stronger if the authors had written it in simple prose, rather than forcing awkward sentence structures or less familiar words into rhyme. Also, the illustrations are fantastic, but I wish they offered more diversity. All of the characters depicted in this book are caucasian, which is fine if your children are blonde with fair features. But if your kids have darker features and prefer books that show children like them, this may not be the book for your family.Overall Rating: Very Good.Tanya -- Christian Children's Book Review
My boys and I have read this book over and over and over again. We use the phrases throughout the day sometimes... "Remember, 'A Little Boy After God's Own Heart?"... be patient buddy. =) Such great lessons. We also have "God's Wisdom for Little Boys" by the same author and we like that one even better, although they're both fantastic. I'd give "God's Wisdom..." a 10 and this one a 9.5.
My heart swelled as I read this book. This is going to be a Christmas present for my 7 year old son. I love the way the "gifts" are expressed and the illustrations are perfect for little boys. As a mom, sometimes, I'm just "mom & full of ramblings" so, I feel when there is a book to help sow & water the seeds of faith, I'm all for it.
This book is a wonderful book with beautiful illustrations. I read one "chapter" a night to my child before we go to bed. It is very easy to take and apply to any issues we may have had that day.
This little book is a treasure. Every lesson for life inserted into fun stories. It captures the missing conversations of our busy world. These conversations are needed with every child and using this small book instills life long habits and thoughts that can only benefit everyone. Not only does it make it fun to read out loud to children, each lesson causes adults children to sigh with delight. Every family should have this book.
I love this book for my boys. My youngest is too young to really pay attention, but my eldest loves it. He likes to learn about the fruits of the Spirit and then tells me how he's trying to practice them over the next few days, every time we read this. I also got the companion book "A Little Girl After God's Own Heart" for my daughter.
I bought this book for my sons. We read one a page from this book daily. This book is well written and has excellent illustrations and is worded so that even younger children understand the lessons from the bible.
I purchased this book for my 7yr old son's birthday. I really hope he enjoys it. I looked through it and I really think Jim and Elizabeth have done a great job at explaining bible fundamentals to children. In a way they can apply it themselves as they grow into the men and women of God they are.
