One of the best books I have ever read
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
I was so glad to see that this book and the others in the Ivan series is still in print. My fourth grade teacher, Miss Smith, read this to me a year or two ago LOL. Actually it has been more than 20 years ago. My mother then bought me the whole set for Christmas the following year because I loved the book so much. Now, after all these years, my copy is old and falling apart, but I so want my children to have the joy of reading this book. It is a chance to see what others have gone through, and in many places still go through, to have a glimpse at God's Holy Word. It is also a great way to talk about the history of the USSR, and communism. So many good discussions just waiting to be had. I am so glad they are still printing it!!!
Great Book

This book is a really wonderful way to share with your children what life is like for their brothers and sisters in Christ in other countries. It takes place in Communist Russia, but the problems are common to many Christians around the world. I found it to be a good way to teach my son a little bit of what it is like to suffer as a result of our faith. Our children in the West have no idea what real persecution is and this story explains it at their level. The faith of Ivan and his sister are inspiring, even to adults. I bought this book at a church book sale years ago and it is now falling apart. I am going to buy another copy so all my children will be able to read it as they grow up.
