The God Puzzle Is One Of The Best Books For Children In A Long Time!

I received a copy of this book for the purpose of this review. 


I am super excited to tell you about this book! After being in children's ministry in one form or another (Leader, Missionary, Pastor's Wife, Teacher) for over 30 years I have learned a lot about what it is that helps kids understand the Word of God and who God is. I WISH I had this book years ago. My job would have been much easier. From start to finish, this book covers the fundamentals of the faith. It starts in the beginning with creation and leads the child (and parents) in the direction of salvation and a faith walk with Christ. But it is not just blindly doing so, Valerie Ackermann helps the child (and again parents) understand the whys and hows of faith, answering some tough questions in a way that can be easily understood. Throughout this book are woven biblical truths in simple to understand language. It is perfect for kids age 7 - 12. I even know some adults who would enjoy the simple and sound teaching in this book. I highly recommend this to anyone who wishes to help their kids understand who God is, His plan for their lives, and His Word!

About the book: 

The God Puzzle is a colorful, easy to use tool to help you communicate to your child the rich truths about God, His ways, His will and His love. The God Puzzle will help you address doctrinal themes of the Christian faith in a kid friendly way, present Bible lessons in an interactive way that will hold the child's attention and deliver quality teaching with no preparation needed. 75% of children leave the church when they leave home. Something isn't working. Sunday School isn't doing it all. Kids need answers, good ones. And they need them from you, the parent. This book enables you to give them simple, clear answers.
