Product Description
Review
"Robinson Crusoe is read as eagerly today as when it was first published....The book has attained a high place in the literature of the world, and justly so."
Book Description
For more than 270 years, readers of all ages everywhere have been fascinated by the story of a young fool who ran away from wealth, security, and family for a rough life at sea -- and came to his senses too late, alone on a tropical island. Alone, except for cannibals, and God.
Robinson Crusoe's adventure takes place on an island near the Orinoco River of Venezuela. Adjusting to the primitive conditions, he learns to make tools, shelters, bread, clothes, baskets, and canoes. More importantly, he becomes a Christian.
Modern editions often leave out Crusoe's long struggle with God and his slow transformation as he studies and applies God's Word. As part of P&R's Classics for Young Readers Series, Kathryn Lindskoog has edited Robinson Crusoe for today's reader, faithfully preserving every detail of the original story. Full-page illustrations are featured to add to your reading pleasure.

This is a "Christan" Version, Sep 7 2011
By S. Davies - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Robinson Crusoe (Paperback)
I bought this for my 9 year-old son but did not realize that it was a "Christian" retelling of this classic story. My son said that the most frequently used word was "God." The back cover says: "Modern editions tend to leave out Crusoe's long struggle with God and his change as he studies God's Word. As part of the Classics for Young Readers Series, Kathryn Lindskoog faithfully preserves such details." Take that as you will. If you want a Christian version of this story, you will love this. If you do not, then find something else. As I write this, there is no description on the Amazon page that mentions that this is a Christian-based book. I will try to return it.
