I received this complimentary product through The Good Book Company.
The Prisoners, the Earthquake, and the Midnight Song is written by Bob Hartman and illustrated by Catalina Echeverri.
This sixteen-page Bible story board book is written for ages 3 – 6. The text is easy to understand and encourages children to listen for the sounds and events that are happening in the story.
For example, the text says, “Listen! Do you hear it?”, and then describes the true story of Paul and Silas in jail, with the Philippian jailer standing guard.
The reader is encouraged to rumble and grumble during the earthquake, as these words are typed in a much bigger font to be enforced.
The personal application of the story is easy to understand, as Paul and Silas tell the Philippian jailer and his entire family about Jesus. The book is clear to answer the jailer’s question, “What must I do to be saved?”. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.
The illustrations in this book and colorful and captivating. Young children will be able to study the pictures and see in a kid-friendly way about Paul and Silas being in jail and the earthquake.
I would highly recommend this book to any family who wishes to introduce their young children to the people in the Bible as well as the gospel message.
This book would be perfect in any Christian home library, Christian preschool, church nursery or Sunday school classroom.
