Your Core by Callie Grant – Book Review
How do you explain the concept of the soul to a young child?
That’s the dilemma that parents of preschool children face – but Callie Grant solves – in her latest board book, Your Core, which releases on September 1, 2014!
Your Core explains – in terms that even young children can understand – how each of us has a core – how cores have a purpose – and how the core part of us – our soul – is the part of us where God resides.
The brilliantly colored illustrations by Missi Jag beautifully illustrate the text and draw young readers closer to God!
Your Core is the latest book from Graham Blanchard – a Christian publisher whose books help parents teach their children about God.
One unique characteristic about Graham Blanchard books is that they are categorized based on their approach to spiritual development. Your Core is an Absorb book, which means its focus is on connecting facts about God with your child’s inner life, so that your child can respond to God on a more personal level and learn to trust and love God!
Another distinctive is that each book is built around a Scripture. The Scripture for Your Core is Ephesians 3:16-17:
I pray that out of His glorious riches He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith.
If you are the Christian parent of a child between the ages of 0 through 5, consider Your Core a must for your child’s personal library!
I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars.
