Reviews
My family loves the Old and New books by Maura Roan McKeegan! This is a great addition to our shelf, because it does such a great job connecting the Old Testament with the new, in both word and image. There are very few resources to introduce these connections to children, which makes these books even more important. The more our children understand our faith and salvation history, the better they can both live and defend it as they get older. Plus, I always learn something new when I read McKeegan’s books, as well. Highly recommend!
