A wonderfully convicting book that lived up to high expectations! I was skeptical that the book would be as good as it was- and it far exceeded my hopes! I laughed, I cried, I cringed with conviction and prayerfully considered my own sinful tendencies with each chapter. A wonderful work that is much needed in the lives of Christian women today. Highly recommend!
BEST Book on Biblical Marriage I’ve ever read!! and I’ve constantly been reading books since highschool on Biblical Marriage, Biblical Womanhood, Biblical Parenting - so that’s saying something! :)
It’s ALL meat! Solid foundation on scripture at every turn. There are things in this book I’ve never read or understood before - I read through the whole book with a pen, using my marking system, and listening to it by audio in addition whenever I’m doing errands or driving somewhere. Then I go back through the whole book with a highlighter using my highlighting code. Now I’m going through each chapter and writing a summary page just for my benefit to know if I REALLY understand it. Some of it is hard to grasp! But TRUE, and the knowing of it will benefit our marriage, and give us sound words of counsel for fellow christians in our circle. It’s quite amazing! I wish there was a list of questions for each chapter to use in a mentoring bible study.
I loved the humor, and I can’t wait to share it with my grandchildren. My husband is a retired military helicopter pilot, and he is known in our family for safety briefings, so I am giving the book to him. Even he hasn’t warned the children of some of the dangers in this book, so it should be fun!
We watched the Makers video on Canon plus, and my husband was so impressed he wanted to order it. We were both very impressed with the quality of the book, the story and of course the illustrations. We are gifting it to our grandson for his seventh birthday.
Very concise treatise on practical tips on reading literature. I've implemented a few of the tips and ideas presented in my own reading life.
I know it’s technically a “ladies” book, but the preview gave me no choice but to buy it. Other than the female tendency to gossip, I can’t say I ever been explicitly taught how women struggle and sin. As a husband and father of a little girl, I believe this book has graciously given me an understanding of how to love the women in my life and understand how satan may be peeking into their loving hearts. It’s also just a fun read from such a witty perspective.
I like the flag, it is a thin material and 1-sided, not quite what I'd expect for the price. I'm happy with it though.
It felt too short. I was hoping to spend more time with Crispin and crew. Wish it was less rhymes and more story
Very bright and cheery! They made lovely gifts!
Bought this as a Christmas gift for my 5 year old ball of energy boy. I handed it to my husband before I hid it away and he was chuckling out loud. Very rare in a picture book!

This book is the most Biblically grounded, practical parenting book I've ever read. Pastor Brock does an amazing job humbly applying Proverbs 22:6 "Train a child up in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it." My husband and I are both first generation Christians who have needed a lot of Biblical wisdom in raising our children. This book helped us as well as other members of our church to apply the scriptures in our parenting. If there is any parenting book I would recommend, it's this one! Thank you Canon and Pastor Brock!
The storyline, plot and worldview are spot-on!
I wish this book was around when I was a younger woman. I could have really benefitted from the wisdom. Even still, the lessons exposed are even that much more powerful for me now. I would love to go through this book with some kind of women’s mentorship group at our church. Looking forward to sharing this with my own daughter when she is old enough.
There are all kinds of hidden messages that can be read into each page of twists and turns of the old alphabet books versus the Bible, versus Doug Wilson's penetrating irony.
I prefer Made in the USA products, sourced from Christians overseas, or lastly from "milder communists", although Pastor Doug Wilson has commented in the past about our inability to control what the evil countries do ultimately; it's in God's hands.
My kids love this book. They want to read it every day. I love that it is a poem so it introduces rhyming. It’s fun to read and the illustrations are vibrant and fun!
