NONFICTION BOOK REVIEW #2020-047 - Talking with Your Kids about Jesus: 30 Conversations Every Christian Parent Must Have


THIS BOOK IS NOT ONLY FOR PARENTS TO TALK WITH THEIR CHILDREN ABOUT JESUS, IT’S FOR EVERYONE WANTING TO TALK ABOUT HIM

Every Christian parent knows the importance about teaching children about the Bible and about Jesus. The reason for this can be found several times in the Bible

DEUTERONOMY 11:19 {NKJV] tells us:

“You shall teach them to your children, speaking of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up.”

ISAIAH 54:13 [KJV] tells us:

“All your children shall be taught by the LORD, And great shall be the peace of your children.”

And in PROVERBS 22:6 [NKJV] we read:

“Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it.”

Christian parents these days with its ever-increasing secularism know that this will become a challenge for their children that they must overcome to have faith in the Lord. Knowing is not the problem for these parents, the problem comes when they need to talk to their children successfully regarding this.

The author, Natasha Crain, has written this book, for parents to gain the important self-confidence they’ll need when they talk about the Lord to their children. Chapter by chapter, page by page, Ms. Crain lays out a concise pathway to follow to teach their children about Jesus's identity, teachings, death, and resurrection. The book is geared to give parents a definitive guide with which to have conversations with their children regardless of their age by giving them a curriculum-based approach designed to give these children a meaningful learning experience. This is why, as a devotee of nonfiction Christian books, I’ve given Ms. Crain the 5 STARS she’s earned.

While I’ve given this author 5 STARS for her endeavor here, I’ve got a puzzlement as to why so many authors in coming up with a title for their books and writing their books, have repeatedly short-changed the intended audience for their books. And Ms. Crain has been one of them. While her intended audience are parents desiring to talk to their children about Jesus, there are scores of individuals would love to share their love for the Lord with others who are new to the Christian faith. Newcomers to the Christian faith are essentially children possessing no knowledge of it or of the Lord, Jesus; and they need to be talked with like a child; which is why I feel this book is a useful tool in talking to anyone about the subject matter of this book.
