The God Puzzle: How the Bible Fits Together to Reveal God as Your Greatest Treasure!

Reading can be boring if it’s not a real grabbing subject matter.  Reading the Bible can seem like such a daunting task with the  many pages it consists of.   This is true for adults and children.  God puts parents in charge of teaching this big ol’ book’s message to their children.  It can be done or God wouldn’t have put the job in our laps.  Of course, we need His help, but we can also use the help of resources prepared by like-minded Christians, such as The God Puzzle by Valerie Ackermann.    Kiddos enjoy learning if it’s fun.   That’s where this workbook comes into play.  It consists of 36 lessons with space for the kiddo (age 7-12) to fill in his or her answers.  Depending on the child’s spiritual maturity, you could work through this with him or her through all of the lessons or you could choose the lessons that would benefit your children the most.  The workbook “presents the Bible as one seamless story”, so you may want to work through it in order. 

 

I know as a parent I often get side-tracked and finding myself not being a good example to my children.  Reading these Bible truths will help parents do a self-test on their obedience to God’s Word as they discuss the lessons with their children.

 

The workbook pages are colorful, grabbing the reader’s attention as he or she works through it.  The translation used is NIV.
