My two favorite books of the bible are Psalms and Proverbs. I have opened my Bible many times throughout my life to find comfort and direction with the words of these two books. I was so thrilled when I was given the opportunity by Mosaic Reviews to review the book A Light for my Path. This book was written by Davis Carman and illustrated by Alice Ratterree, and published by Apologia. This book comes across as a simple ABC book, however, as you will see it is so much more! We read this book together many times snuggled in bed. What a great bedtime routine!
This book was written to teach the ABC’s as well as to teach your child about God through its four different purposes. The first purpose was to be ready by parent and child snuggled together. The second was to learn the English alphabet. The third was to instill in children a love and respect for God’s word. Finally, the last purpose was to teach the Hebrew alphabet.
Each page is artistically illustrated that includes either an animal or a plant. We enjoyed looking at each picture and trying to guess what image was going to be on 
the next page by what letter it was. Each page is written with a different attribute of God’s word, for example the letter “S” is paired with steadfast and “T” is paired with true. I think this is on of the things that sets this off from other ABC books. Our personal favorite picture was the lady bug that was on the “L” page that listed light. Our least favorite was t he Narwhal on the “N” page.

The Psalm is written in 22 stanzas, one for each Hebrew letter of the alphabet. These stanzas are listed in the back part of the book with it’s corresponding Hebrew letter. The English spelling so that you and your child pronounce the letter correctly. With the Old Testament being written primarily in Hebrew, this may 
be a good tool to help your child feel closer to the word of God. Whether you use this book to introduce your child to the alphabet, God’s word or both, this book is a must have for homes with little ones.

Now how can you get a copy of this book? How much does it cost? Where can you find it?
You can purchase the book from Apologia for only $14.00.
