Review of THOUGHTS TO MAKE YOUR HEART SING by Sally Lloyd-Jones

Rating: 5 out of 5

THOUGHTS TO MAKE YOUR HEART SING is the follow-up to Sally Lloyd-Jones’ groundbreaking JESUS STORYBOOK BIBLE. What the previous book did to give children a Christ-centered narrative covering the whole Bible, this new book acts as a collection of devotional thoughts to guide children to cultivate their relationship with Jesus. Combined with the beautiful artwork of Jago, THOUGHTS TO MAKE YOUR HEART SING is a great companion to the JESUS STORYBOOK BIBLE in drawing children into a growing knowledge of and relationship with Jesus.

The foreword to the book was written by Timothy Keller and he describes the book as “the best, first introduction for children to have their own time with Jesus.” I love this book because of its focus on encouraging children to have their own time with Jesus. I have three small children, and this is something my wife and I want to cultivate in our children early. This book is the perfect resource and really meets that need in our lives.

My children love THOUGHTS TO MAKE YOUR HEART SING, and my daughter calls it her “very own Jesus book.” The devotional thoughts and the artwork included with each one are great for drawing my children’s attention. If you have children, this book will be a great addition to helping you disciple your own children to know and love Jesus.
