Reviews of “Hymns for a Kid’s Heart, Vol. 1″

Recently Crossway’s homeschool book reviewers discussed Hymns for a Kid’s Heart, Vol. 1 by Bobbie Wolgemuth and Joni Eareckson Tada on their blogs. Here are some of their comments:

“For the children you love, this book is a feast. It has everything you need to teach twelve of the greatest hymns ever composed.”

“We’ve really been enjoying Hymns for a Kid’s Heart Vol. 1 by Bobbie Wolgemuth and Joni Eareckson Tada. I’ve been using it for our family devotional time. The inside jacket says it’s for kids ages 3-15, [and] it’s not often I find a book I can read to my high schoolers and my pre-schooler.”

“This is a beautiful little book with gorgeous illustrations and simple stories aimed for young children, yet a fun and easy read for us ‘big kids,’ too!”

“This book is worth checking out!”

Nathan Busenitz on Janet Parshall’s America

Nathan Busenitz, author of Reasons We Believe, will be featured on Janet Parshall’s America tomorrow. If you haven’t listened to Parshall’s highly-acclaimed show recently, this would be a great time to tune in. You can listen online or use the station finder to find a station in your local area.

In the meantime, you can read a rather provocative review of Busenitz’s book that appeared on Pyromaniacs last month. Dan Phillips begins his review in this way:

I kind of hate Nate Busenitz. (You know… in a Christian way.)

He’s, like, twelve years old (if that), and has already published an apologetics tool that (A) is really worthwhile; (B) will deservedly get much use; and (C) is recommended by John Frame.

Punk!

But I’ll try to set my personal issues aside and introduce you to Nate’s opus, because I think you’ll find it both informative and useful. It is an fine book, and I recommend it highly.

What Nate does here is something fresh and very needed. He takes the lofty theories of presuppositional apologetics, and shows us how to make use of Christian evidences. Specifically, Busenitz focuses on the Bible’s own way of arguing for the truth of revelation, and then he points to real-world demonstrations of those truths.
