I began to read this book to my kids several times and they just weren't interested. They are 7 & 10 and I couldn't seem to keep them engaged in the book. To be fair, each year we start a new devotional with them and they really enjoy that tradition. When I switched to this they weren't happy because they like their current devotional so there's a good chance that was the problem. Hopefully, we will revisit this book and try it again, but in the meantime, because we did not read the whole book I will not be posting a public review because I think it would be unfair to do so without fully reading the book. I will give it a 2 star rating just because they didn't want to go on, but I will not be rating this on Goodreads.

This is a very intense book for my 6/7 year old. It is a lot of information all at once that I find I will have to pick and choose and simplify.

This book is something that a teacher would narrate—saying all the words and dictating questions and waiting responses. It is not a bad book at all but find that for my child it would be best if I broke it down to chunks and boiled it down more simply.

Because of the nature of this book, I would recommend having it in printed form rather than a kindle format.

Dr. Evans has written a fantastic book for kids that will help them understand many of the names used in the Bible to describe God’s character. Each chapter is about 10-15 pages long, and Dr. Evans communicates with a very personable, friendly tone that kids would find appealing, using easily relatable stories to help the kids grasp the topics discussed. Although aimed at ages 8-12, this book could be read to or with someone younger, and someone older would still benefit from reading it. It is not condescending or unattainable, which is a great balance to make when writing for children.

A typical chapter opens with a short anecdote that prompts the kids to think in a certain direction. Then Dr. Evans ties in the Bible story illustrating that direction. He introduces the name and then appropriately expounds upon the name, drawing in inferences, helping the young readers gain a broader and deeper understanding of the name. He also provides a way for the young readers to remember the name and its meaning.

I found this book to be excellent, like all of Dr. Evans’s other books. I am glad to see Dr. Evans branch into quality children’s materials. Although my daughters are past this age range, I think they will still enjoy reading and learning from this book. In fact, a hard copy of this book will soon be joining our shelves as part of our home library.

I gratefully received this book as an eARC from the author, publisher, and NetGalley in exchange for my unbiased review.

In the book A Kid's Guide to the Names of God, author and Pastor Tony Evans, walks the reader through some of the major names of God in Scripture.
This is a very practical guide with great stories and illustrations. But I don’t understand why this is a kids book. The chapters are way too long and the content is written more for teens and adults. I would recommend this book to challenge anyone. I received a copy of this e-book from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

A Kids’ Guide to the Names of God by Tony Evans is a beautifully written book for kids ages 8-12. I love the way the author takes one name at a time and explains it in kid-friendly, relevant terms. I read this book to my six year old and he loved it. I do think this book is best for older children that can read it on their own, but it is great for younger children too if a parent reads it and explains it to them. I received a digital copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for my honest review.

A great book for kids to read about gods in a funny narrative way.......

I found this book full of information on the importance of all the names and I loved how it broke down what they mean and how they are used. I was not sure how i would review how it would relate to kids since it does not say what age it is aimed at. I left it could have been explained in less words. I also do not like all the questions to review or understand the information unless it is meant to be used for bible studies or strictly teaching. I would rather have seen more illustrations but again i am not sure what age group it is aimed towards. I did enjoy the information and I felt it was very understandable.

Tony Evans introduces kids to the various names of God that appear in the Bible, such as Elohim, Jehovah Jireh, Immanuel, etc.. Ten names are focused on and get one chapter each with interactive questions and suggested application activities along the way.

This went way beyond what I expected from this book. It does a great job breaking down some potentially complicated theological ideas related to the names of God, keeps it solid biblically, but puts things into language kids can relate to. Furthermore, it goes beyond just teaching about the names to talking about everyday applications of these aspects of God’s nature and relevancy to normal Christian life. It both educates and disciples, and trusts kids to be able to grasp some very important aspects of a walk with God that most avoid until talking to teens or adults. I thought it was fantastic. I’d highly recommend this to upper elementary through middle school kids who have already made a decision to follow God. This would be a great resource for adults discipling kids of these ages too. I’ll definitely be purchasing copies for our library and recommending this to kids, the Bible teachers at our school, and small group leaders.

I got this for myself and my 12 year old son. He was less then interested. I found it informative and interesting.

Nicely done. Made easy for kids. Great book.
