Chronicle Concering Books A Father's Promise
Adolf Hitler's ominous statements seem only a distant threat to eleven-year-old Rudi Kaplan. But when the Nazi forces invade Poland and bomb his home city of Warsaw, Rudi finds out that he is Hitler's enemy not only because he is a Pole, but also because he's a Jew--and a Christian. The next few years change Rudi's life forever. With only his imprisoned father's promise that they will be reunited after the war, Rudi must learn how to survive in hiding, how to be truly brave, and how to overcome the hatred of his enemies. He must learn to die to himself and to trust the God who is mightier than any army. Grades 4-7.Rating Containing Books A Father's Promise

Almost every year for the past 27 years I have read and reread this book. Such a fantastic read for both the 12 year old who was given it as a school text, and the grown woman I am today.I read this book so many times as a kid! My mom always loved it, it was assigned reading in elem school, its published by BJUP, so of course I was gonna read it, but then I fell in love and read it over and over again thru my school years. Its such a great book to help teach kids about WW2 and the Holocaust without being too graphic. Fair warning, it is a very Christian book and if a kid hasnt had any exposure to the Bible, then they arent going to understand certain portions of this book. This
it was really good! i loved it!!!!!!!!!!!
i loved this book i read it in like 3 days only becuase my mom made me go to bed and eat breakfest lunch and dinner, it is so sad but truely shows true faith in God, my friend has read this book 15 times(at least ) no joke he loves reading he loves history (so do I) so our mom's have a hard time finding something that is christian our reading level and true that really teaches amazing lessons this is one of them. LOVE THIS BOOK. MAKES ME CRY.
As always, my favorite books are WWII books. This one was exceptionally wonderful. I have read many stories, both fictional and non-fictional, about those who have been in Nazi work camps, but this is the first I have read about a child who escaped into the forest to avoid being taken to one. I cried in several places, but laughed just as hard in others. I also really liked how much the characters rely on God for their lives each day. Because that's how it was for Jews in Poland while the Nazis
I love this book. I really have no idea how many times I've read it over the years. But without fail -It makes me sweat.It makes cry.It makes me laugh.And then I cry some more.
I enjoyed this book, although it wasn't quite what I was expecting. For a WWII book, it was pretty light on action, although not on tension and uncertainty. This would be a good introduction to the subject of WWII and the Holocaust for children who have not been exposed to the topics, as it's obvious that bad things are happening, but there's no description at all, except for seeing malnourished survivors of the concentration camps.The style wasn't my personal favorite, although I'm admittedly
