The First Quarter 2013 issue of Children's Friend contains an exerpt from a book. The exerpt is entitled "Just Like Jesus." The piece starts off really well but by the end degenerates into Seventh-day Adventist legalism.
There is a story in the same magazine written from the perspective of the daughter of Jairus. She is the dead girl Jesus raised in Mark 5 21-43, Luke 8 40-56 or Matthew 9 18-26. I kind of think it's dangerous when stories are told based on incidents in the Bible like this because we really don't know the details.
There is a really good article in the December 22 2012 issue of Guide that talks about a fungus that grows inside an ant and eventually kills the ant.
Returning to the First Quarter 2013 edition of Children's Friend, there is a story in the magazine about a boy named Jordan who receives a book from a Seventh-day Adventist missionary and then asks Jesus into his heart. First, the boy probably hadn't attained the age of accountability. Second, the story doesn't contrast his life and the life of his family before Jesus and after.
