| We
have in the past reviewed others of Jim Cromarty's books and are
pleased to do so again with this latest offering. It is one of a
series aimed at encouraging sessions of Bible teaching for the
family, an entirely praiseworthy objective, and one which we
heartily support. To take time to gather the family together for
such a holy occupation is part of the duty of parenthood and, if
followed, something that must result eventually in a harvest of
spiritual blessing. The 52 ‘chapters’ that make up the book
are headed by cryptic titles (in the idiom of the book's title!)
and suggested readings from Scripture. The text of the chapters
include stories from everyday life, references to many Bible
stories and numerous Bible quotations, all with the intention of
teaching Bible truths. After each chapter comes a list of issues
‘to think about’, each likely to challenge the individual
reader, or to promote discussion where the stories are read to
others. The book is illustrated with arresting, often amusing,
illustrations in black and white, and is written in a style
simple enough to make it comprehensible to readers of all ages. |
