Good Book Company Partner Review: Do Great Things For God: Betsey Stockton by Laura Caputo-Wickham

 



What I like about the book:
  • This biography is of a person whose desire was to become a missionary.  
  • Her life story interwoven with trusting God, reading His Word, teaching children that Jesus is King so teaching the readers about the Good News and who God is.  
  • The illustrations are well done and warm-appropriate images.  
  • Scripture references are listed with the verses mentioned- and the fact that the Word of God is included.  
  • I liked learning about Betsey Stockton, her story is new to me!
  • I liked the connection that I got after reading Corrie ten Boom, now Betsey Stockton, and knowing that this is a series of stories of women for young children seeing how women have served God and done wonderful things.  

What I wonder about the book: 
  • Will 4-8-year-olds know what it means to be enslaved?  Will they understand the concept of being free?  
  • Does the book need to start by telling the readers that we are going back in time? or in history? to learn about someone who lived hundreds of years ago? It becomes evident in the five-month trip by boat to Hawaii.  
Thankful to partner with the GoodBook company and read an advanced pdf of the book.
