I’m a Campbell fan, and my children have enjoyed illustrated mythology books. :-)

In any case, whether Harris’ steps are a good or bad thing depends entirely on your understanding of God. If God is the ideal person you aim to become, those steps are wonderful; there are important truths that are created only subsequent to faith in them.

On that note, if I am going to believe it possible to become the kind of person I would like to be, logic necessitates that I believe such persons almost certainly already exist — you know, the Simulation Argument.

Do you have any suggestions for good mythology books for children?
