1: Great Biblical Substance!
I Want To Know About God is an excellent resource. This book was written at an level where children, teens, and adults can absorb this rich theology and apologetics. I am going to buy five of these books to give away. In a day and age where truth is ignored, it is great to see such a profound work.

2: Rick Osborne connects with children
I use Rick Osborne's "I Want to Know" series as an excellent resource for how to explain spiritual topics in a language elementary-aged children can understand. I've found the series Biblically accurate and theolocially sound as well as very visually appealing for children.

3: A very distorted and disturbing literalist view of God.
I was hoping for a children's book that would help to explain the concept of God in a fun and interesting way as the author promised. What I got instead was a very disturbing and extreme literalist view of God. Concepts in the book are misleading or misrepresented. Definitions for agnosticism, pantheism, and others are excessively biased and incorrect. The author writes that agnostics think faith, believing without proof is foolish. When in fact, agnostics actually argue that belief in the divinity can rest only on faith. Buddhism, Hinduism and Islam are discribed as false beliefs. The author goes on to write that because of Adam and Eve's bad choice, nature is dangerous. Predators kill, bacteria cause disease, etc. How unfortunate that this harmful discription or our world attempts to wipe out the wonderful and miraculous idea of balance in nature. This book should not be shown to children lest your intent to is distort, disturb, and misinform them. A book about God should focus on the wonderous quality of a being we cannot fully comprehend. It should not attempt to prejudice children against the thoughts and views of others.
