"One of the most important things we can do as parents and leaders as we read and search the scriptures is to attend carefully and focus seriously on the points of doctrine taught by apostles and prophets. The author of this book quoted President Boyd K. Packer’s marvelous statement about how the teaching of doctrine changes lives and builds faith and testimony like nothing else can. That being true, it is crucial that parents or caretakers utilize every occasion to help children understand the doctrine of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Familiarity with doctrine can give them a proper perspective on life; fortify them against the wiles and temptations of the devil; help them find comfort in difficult times; bring the Holy Spirit into their daily walk and talk; and, come to know their Lord and Savior in ways that nothing else can.

Any effort, therefore, to assist children in understanding the doctrine found in holy scripture and the teachings of latter-day apostles and prophets can be fundamental and foundational for our little ones. In that spirit, I applaud the effort of Andrea Erickson Lindsey to help parents help children. Having worked successfully as a seminary teacher within the Church Educational System, she is able to present the doctrine of the Church in a clear and understandable manner. Andrea is a former student of mine, and so I know something of her earnest desire, patience, and perseverance in pushing forward this project. It is my hope that the lessons and examples provided within this book will assist parents and loved ones to bring [the children] up in the nurture and admonition "to the end Lord” (Ephesians 6:4; see also Enos 1:1)."

The Real Deal

God's Plan is one of the best books for TWEENS. It is doctrinally correct and simplifies some of the most important questions our children have today. I was fortunate enough to get the activity book as well. Well done .

God's plan

This book is really for parents, but it can be used by all. Guidance is given throughout, from what music to use to set the mood, to where one should hold the lesson or conversation. I thought that this was an exceptional good addition to the book as many others only give you the main points, but setting the mood in order to absorb the most I think is critical and this book really helps with that.

Good teachings

Although this book is directed to children, mostly, I believe adults have a way of learning from this too. This book is a great way and tool for teaching young children about the gospel lifestyle that Jesus preaches. Filmed with scriptures, explanations, and illustrations, keeps the reader engaged and helps them understand the concepts and principles of the doctrine portray in this book. At the end of every chapter, there is a questionnaire for children so they can review what they have just learned.I believe this book to be very helpful for those who want their children to grow, knowing God and all his wonders the author has done a great job, teaching the ways of the church of Jesus Christ of the latter-day Saints.

Amazing Book

I first bought this book in hardcover and then decided I needed to buy it on Kindle as well. I am so glad I did. I love the paper form to highlight, plus it is a beautiful book with beautiful illustrations. I like having the kindle because I can always have it on me when I have a few minutes to read.This book is aimed at kids and pre-teens, but I feel it is a great book for adults. It summarizes the doctrine so that kids and adults can understand. As an adult I am surprised by how much I have learned and can’t wait for the next book in the series.This book is brilliantly split into Chapters and Experiences. Each chapter has doctrine that is beautifully summarized. There are then three different “Experiences” per chapter that include a suggested song, items needed, and how to teach an object lesson. The Experiences then conclude with questions to ponder. These questions are wonderful for children and adult alike to ponder.Thank you so much for writing this book.
