Reviews

[Alyssa Bohon · Rating 4 out of 5]

A really great collection of faith-focused interesting stories, great for Sunday afternoons, etc. We finished in late May and the Flanders Field chapter at the end was perfect for Memorial Day.

A minor issue is wondering when to read the pop-out blocks of related Scripture text dropped randomly in the middle of the stories. Would have been nice to have them placed strategically.
