What a wonderful resource for Sunday School teachers, homeschoolers, and parents in general. It also is a book that upper elementary children can pick up themselves and have fun learning. Great entries with wonderful illustrations. This book is extremely helpful in Biblical training of the younger generation.

This is a big book indeed, not that the book itself overpowers, but that it holds a wealth of simple, concise definitions of Biblical terms, characters and concepts and even names for God. The illustrations add clarity and depth to the definitions. I also appreciated the Scriptural references with the definitions. The definitions and format are appropriate for elementary age children.--Carolyn R. Scheidies"Author's Choice Reviews" (03/26/2011)
