The Secret of Happiness by Jan Godfrey
This title contains important messages from the Sermon on the Mount retold in a way that is easy to read and accessible for children, focusing on a young boy listening to Jesus and relating what Jesus says to his own life. Stunning, colourful illustrations back up the story in an appealing way. It includes the Beatitudes and the Lord's Prayer. It is suitable for children aged 5-7, parents, grandparents, and godparents, as well as a Sunday school prize or gift or for school libraries. Combining the well-known story-telling skills of Jan Godfrey and the illustrations of bestselling Honor Ayres, this is the message of Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount interpreted for young children. It includes the Beatitudes, and the way God wants us to live happily with each other. Jesus knew the secret of happiness - and he shared it with everyone he knew.
Reviewed by The Good Bookstall - July 2010 This is also a re-working of a well known text' The Sermon on the Mount made possible for youngsters. This clever adaptation hears the sermon from the view of an eye witness, a little boy called Reuben. There is much wisdom and truth in this book. I could hear myself reading the book aloud and getting the children to join in with actions and noises. (Good teaching tool for any teacher) This book like Shepherds Song - The Sermon on the Mount for Children is nicely illustrated and colourful. Review by Hilary Morgan
