I liked this better than the first one for some reason. There were lots of decent stories that taught good lessons and provided conversation points with the kids.

[Loretta F. Miller · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good short stories of the hand of God in people's lives. The downside is some are too abrupt and leave the reader wondering what happened. Also, it seems the focal point is solely on the lessons instead of subtly showing them through the stories themselves. Might work for devotional readings with young children.

Wow! Some incredible conversions in this one. Rly moving!

[Rkeddins · Rating 2 out of 5]

Redeeming in the fact that it is explicitly Christian. It is a bore and very poorly written. It even takes some good Christian short stories and condenses them into tripe.
