“I was very impressed with the art, the layout and the choice of language that is used. Indeed it can be used very effectively as a tool in teaching the early Bible story. I think small children will enjoy it very much.”

"The Bible According to Grandpa" is a study of Jewish faith and religion as author and grandfather Jordan Bernstein attempts to explain the many Biblical concepts to young readers. Insightful, "The Bible According to Grandpa" is a fine addition to Judaic studies collections for youths."
