My Review:

 

I loved this book! I liked how Jean crafted a book geared towards encouraging parents to start teaching our children about Christ right when they are smaller. I liked how she included her own personal story throughout the book and the parenting lessons she learned along the way. I loved how she included studies from George Barna showing how important it is to start working on their character and Christ principles. I didn’t realize how a child character was form by age 6. I also didn’t know that most people get saved before age 8. These polls were a little outdated since it was from 2004 and I’m curious to hear what it is now. This is my first time in hearing about Miss PattyCake and it was interesting to see how she wrote praise songs. She dresses up like the character and travels around the world engaging children and teaching them who Jesus is and how much He loves us. I loved the story about she went into full time doing this and how she was led by God to leave Women of Faith and their worship team. A major part of the book is the importance of praising Jesus. I loved how she shared how praising God will change our atmosphere, home, and our lives. One of most eye-opening statement shared was of a church sign that she saw while she was traveling. It basically stated, “whoever wants the next generation will get them.” This is a powerful statement that we can change the lives of our children and affect future generations for the better if we start raising our children with the message of the Gospel. The audiobook was wonderful to listen to and I loved her passion when she was reading out loud God’s word. I liked how she included tons of scriptures and I believe this book will assist readers into teaching the ways of Christ to every child we are bless to come in contact with.
