This lyrical adaptation of Deuteronomy 6:4-9 introduces young children to the “Shema," a sacred statement of belief that has been recited in the morning and evening through the ages by Jewish believers, including Jesus Himself. “These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates. ” Deuteronomy 6:4-9 For centuries, Jewish believers have started and ended their day by saying the Shema, a five-verse passage in the book of Deuteronomy, as a twice-daily reminder to read and meditate on God’s Word. Written in rhyme for infants through four-year-olds, Hear, O Little One is a colorful and creative adaptation of the Shema. This innovative board book is intended to be read in the morning and then flipped over and read in the other direction for a different version at nighttime. Help your child develop a lifelong love of God and a deep reverence for His Word with this one-of-a-kind children’s book. Show Less
