Too American?

JONATHAN EDWARDS
Christian Biographies for Young Readers
By Simonetta Carr
Reformation Heritage Books. 64 pages. £12.21
ISBN 978 1 601 783 547

Unwrapping this book was great: lovely front cover. The back cover is, I think, not so good. Too much explanation and recommendation, not in language for a child.

Jonathan Edwards is a great subject for such a book. I could not quite get into it, though – almost as if it had some of the life sucked out of it. Some of the illustrations were a bit odd. Why would a child be interested in a picture of Isaac Newton, or Voltaire.
