Book Review - The Ball of Red String - By Marlene Halpin, O.P. - Publication Date: 5 December 2023

 


This story gets a huge thumbs up from me.  It's so simple yet so to the point for helping any child to understand Jesus loves them and wants a relationship with them, that it's easy to talk with Jesus.  I love the red ball of string idea of how a child can follow where it leads as it unravels and rolls along, leading - so to speak - to find Jesus and commune with Him.

At the end of the book, there are great suggestions on how Sunday School teachers, carers of children and I suppose, even parents, can use the story to greater effect in teaching children to talk with and listen for Jesus' answers, even if it is all silent communication.  Excellent, excellent book!

Illustrations in muted colors add extra garnish to the story.  

A definite 5-Star rating from me!
