The Zonderkidz I Can Read!
books are consistently well written and illustrated. “Paul Meets Jesus” is
not an exception. This story is in Level 2 of the I Can Read! series, which is for kids “reading with help.” Probably
kids ages 4-6.
The story is about Paul meeting Jesus and changing from a bad
man trying to punish Jesus followers to a sold-out follower of Jesus himself.
Paul meets God as a flash of light from above, he becomes blinded for three
days, he receives his sight back, he gets baptized, and he spends the rest of
his life praising God and being persecuted for doing so.
The spiritual message
in this book is subtle. I think parents would need to help kids put the pieces
together—especially since Jesus and God are not visible in the story. Paul’s
conversion seems a bit quick, but with help parents will be able to guide their
kids through the story. What I appreciate about this story is that it tells the
complete conversion story of Paul and is true to the Biblical account. I do
wish, however, that somewhere the publishers would have included the Bible verses
from which the story came. The illustrations are bold and attractive, the story
is complete, and I recommend this book to others.

The publisher has
provided me with a complimentary copy of this book through BookSneeze®. I was
not required to write a positive review.
