[Mark · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was an entertaining and very simple book. The chapters were short and easy to read and I enjoyed the questions at the end of each chapter for individual reflection or group discussion. If a reader wanted to read the Scripture passage first, it was listed at the beginning of each chapter. Adding a whimsical note to the whole enterprise was the artwork in a cartoon style — it was very unusual and merited some visual reflection as well.
