CUSTOMER REVIEWS:

Baby journal -
This is an adorable baby keepsake journal. I bought one for my twin boys because I wasn't sure that I would like it but then had to go ahead and get a second one. I like the colors and characters, the quotes and the set-up of the book. There is room for pictures and plenty of space for writing.

Christian indoctrination packaged as a secular book -
How would all you religious folk out there feel if you bought what appeared to be an innocuous everyday baby book, and on the first page was the Bill Maher quotation, "Faith is making a virtue out of not thinking"? Or maybe for the Christians, how would you like it if every other page had a quote from the Koran? You'd expect a book like that to be advertised as a "Muslim baby book", wouldn't you?

Well, this book is the Christian equivalent, and it is reckless and irresponsible for Amazon to list this book without making the genre clear. Make no mistake: This book is a CHRISTIAN book. It doesn't even promote faith in a non-secular way (which wouldn't be okay with me anyway, but at least then I'd understand why it wasn't clearly identified). This book is pushing a particular religion in an overt and overbearing manner, and fails to identify itself as such.

I don't want my child growing up to be the kind of person who bombs abortion clinics or burns embassies over a stupid cartoon. Other people may feel differently, but it ought to be an informed choice, not a sneaky back-door indoctrination. Boo to the publishers for not making this clear in the title, and boo to Amazon for failing to identify the book as such.

Heavy on Bible Quotes: This is a Christian Baby Book -
The book is adorable, but I think there's a severe and unseemly excess of bible quotes. A couple of bible quotes I can deal with, but there are at least FOURTEEN of them and many other references to god/heaven. There is clearly a religious agenda here, something that I prefer not to be packaged surreptitiously along with my baby book.

The author could have simply called it a Christian baby book and been honest about it. Including "humble" in the title isn't clear enough, as all babies are humble regardless of their religious indoctrination. If I'd known this was a blatant Christian book, I wouldn't have purchased it.

So two stars from me, primarily for the dishonesty in labeling. Once again I've had religion jammed solidly down my throat for no clear reason. If heaven is filled with people who engage in this type of dishonest behavior, I'll happily accept the alternative.

Great! Concise and cute! -
Love the colors and illustrations. Don't really notice the quotes at all, let alone the scipture. If you're looking for something to record the more poignant moments, this is it. If you're looking to record EVERY moment in great detail, you may need more space. I am not bogged down with minutia, but wanted a simple journal, and spiral bound to accommodate the pictures. This is perfect for me!

Not clear if all nick nacks are acid free. and.. -
No where in the journal does it say acid free, so does it mean it's not?
Also it's very religious oriented. It has bible quotes in almsot every page. It's not bad, but some people may want a neutral approach.
