“Elijah, God’s Mighty Prophet” from
the Zonderkidz I Can Read! Adventure Bible Series, with pictures by David
Miles, is an animatedly illustrated, clear, complete story for kids.
This story is in the Level 2
category of the I Can Read series. Level 2 is defined as “High-interest stories
for developing readers.” The story teaches about Elijah’s faith in the one,
true God. The story shows how God took care of Elijah and in the end showed all
of the people in the town that He is the real, living God.
The message is clearly presented. God’s
goodness is strongly evident throughout the story. The book provided a complete
view of the story of Elijah and God working in his life. The publishers do a
good job of making the story accessible but not simple. The illustrations are
bold and vivid—what I noticed over and over again was the intensity and
accuracy of the characters’ facial expressions. This book has a strong
spiritual and educational message: In the back of the book there is a page with
a section entitled “People in Bible Times” and a section entitled “Life in
Bible Times” in which the idea of a prophet is defined and explored.
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.
