Title: Portrays a very angry God -
Product review: I bought this for my 4 year old. He loves Bible stories and we've been through several children's Bibles.I have to say this one is rather dark. Nearly every story in the Old Testament portion tells of someone being killed or dying with the implication that they sinned against God and thus God struck them down. I find myself softening the words up a bit as my son frequently looks worried while we read this particular book.I want my son to know God and see Him as a loving, caring God, not an angry, violent God. I know as an adult that God is a loving, sometimes angry God, but for teaching a 4 year old... I don't know.I think this particular Bible would be better suited to an older child (8 or 9) and it really is not marketed for them. Clearly it is aimed at the preschool kid. I thought it too heavy and a bit odd for the target audience.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
