The front cover of this children’s book displays John Piper’s endorsement that if his kids ‘could be five years old again,’ he ‘would definitely read this book to them’.
It struck me that I hadn’t talked about conscience with my children before and that I probably ought to. So I thought the wisest thing to do would be to get on and read this book to my children, little girls of seven, five and two years old. The two-year-old, true to form, decided to roll around on the carpet, but the other two listened very quietly – unusually for them – perhaps because, to quote the repeated phrase of book: ‘This was a new idea for me. I wanted to think about it some more.’
