A beautiful interpretation of the 10 commandments. The author explains one by one, what is the meaning of first till the tenth commandments. I really appreciate what was written as "commit adultery" since nowadays, this one got left behind most of the time. Adultery is not seen as a bad thing God hates, but seems like everybody's doing it.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC! I appreciate the author's attempt to try to help children understand the 10 commandments.

I have read and enjoyed many Christian children's books, so I was quite looking forward to reviewing this book as well.

The Ten Commandments are pretty basic tenets of the religion, comprising some of Christianity's core values, so it is important for children to be introduced to them in a way that is appealing and easy to understand.

Unfortunately, the way it is done in this book really didn't appeal to me much. There is a lack of explanation, and what I would describe as a somewhat fundamentalist tone to the volume.

The commandment on adultery, for example, seems overly simplistic and a bit abstruse. The one on murder, by contrast, made a lot of sense.

This book will probably work best for people who themselves lean towards a fundamentalist understanding rather than a more liberal interpretation of Christianity.

Great for Teaching Young Children

This is a well-written book for teaching children about God and His ten commandments starting at a young age. The authors have designed this book with beautiful and colorful artwork that is very appealing to children, while at the same time listing and discussing each of the ten commandments in simple words.

The authors outlines four things parents should observe about this book, they are
1. The numbering of the Ten Commandments.
2. The use of the Ten Commandments in worship and devotion.
3. The word “chastity”.
4. The illustration of each commandment.

The authors go on to explain and discuss each of the above listed things in detail for parents to better understand why the book is written as it is.

This is a very good for families to come together as a whole and discuss God’s laws. I highly recommend it.

I think this is a good little book to help expand on children's understanding of the ten commandments. However, I'm a little confused about what age-range the target audience is supposed to be. The style and format of the book suggests to me around 4-8 years old. But the vocabulary and writing style is much more advanced; perhaps more suitable for children aged 8-11 years old. Nevertheless, I think the author does a good job of using understandable examples to solidify the principles. I also like the section at the end for families to use in at-home worship.

I received a free advanced review copy (ARC) of this eBook from the publisher, Lexham Press, via NetGalley, for review purposes.

This book on the Ten commandments was well written. It connects each commandment with a Bible story as well as other scripture to back it up. I would say it isn't for younger kids. Maybe starting at age 4 would be ideal, although younger children would get some benefit from it.
Loved the book. Thanks netgalley for a copy ofnthe e-aec in exchange for my honest review & opinion.
