"I’ve begun reading Grandpa’s Box by Starr Meade with our two oldest kids (ages seven and six), and I’m enjoying it as much as they are. It’s one of those books that has tended to fly “under the radar,” but deserves to be much better known.

"It’s a creative presentation of the biblical storyline, as a grandpa uses objects in an old box to retell the stories. I think parents will be surprised at the nuanced biblical theology at play here. I am being instructed as I read."
- Justin Taylor

"Grandpa’s Box is a redemptive-historical reading of the Bible expressed at a children’s level and creatively presented in the form of a grandfather’s conversations with his grandchildren. Grandpa takes advantage of the children’s curiosity at the diverse items in his “war chest," making each item into a visible focal point for teaching the story of redemption. Grandpa’s retelling of God’s own great “war story” unites all the familiar Bible stories into the message of Christ’s great victory over Satan. It is rare to find Christian children’s literature that does not treat Bible stories like isolated moral lessons; Grandpa’s Box is an excellent counter to this trend. It will surely aid many parents in bringing their children to a saving understanding of the Bible and the Gospel. Recommended for ages 9-12, this title could be used effectively by a parent with younger children.'
