Publisher's Description

God's little boy is faithful and true,
So if you say you'll help, be sure that you do.
Oh, how a family is happy and blessed
When you, their dear son, show faithfulness.

Bestselling authors Jim and Elizabeth George share biblical truths in fun rhymes for little guys. Joining together again with popular artist Judy Luenebrink (God's Wisdom for Little Boys), the Georges offer growing boys encouragement to

show God's love when being a good friend
honor their parents by behaving well
practice patience as they help others--including brothers and sisters
demonstrate the Golden Rule by being generous
follow through as a faithful, obedient boy

The combination of charming paintings and easy-to-learn lessons will guide boys toward the heart of God and toward a life of godliness that shows in their words, actions, and spirit.

A Little Boy After God's Own Heart, Hardcover 4 5 3 3

This book captivated my 3 year old son and helped him comprehend the fruit of the spirit. The poetry is attractive and the artistry is beautiful!! December 17, 2009

This book teaches little boys to live a life filled with the fruits of the spirit: Love, Joy and Peace, Patience, Kindness and Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, and Self-Control. Bible verses, quoted in their entirety with references, introduce each trait of a God-like heart. Then, through rhyming verse, the authors describe what that looks like and how little boys can exemplify it. For example, the section on patience includes these lines:"How can a guy wait when he's raring to go?He asks God for patience and help to go slow.When you're in a hurry, don't think of yourself.Instead ask the question, 'How can I help?'"Judy Luenebrink fills the book with beautiful paintings, both colorful and detailed. There are three full illustrations for each page of text. She also provided a map on the inside covers of "The Heart Land" which features "mountains of Joy", "pastures of Goodness", and the "Path of Patience", among others.What I Like: The concept is great; the content thorough. I really appreciate the inclusion of Bible verses, ideal for memorization. My son loves the train theme that runs throughout the illustrations and borders. He also likes having a book that's "just for boys!"What I Dislike: I think the book would have been stronger if the authors had written it in simple prose, rather than forcing awkward sentence structures or less familiar words into rhyme. Also, the illustrations are fantastic, but I wish they offered more diversity. All of the characters depicted in this book are Caucasian, which is fine if your children are blond with fair features. But if your kids have darker features and prefer books that show children like them, this may not be the book for your family.Overall Rating: Very Good. October 6, 2008
