Crossway Publishers released a book entitled: The Gospel in 2020. It is written and illustrated by Devon and Jessica Robyn Provencher. It is part of a series called, "Big Theology for Little Hearts."
Reading the back of the book helps you grasp what the series is about.
What I like about the series:
- Illustrations, clear, warm, simple, and friendly kid-appeal. Also related to the words defined on each page.
- Plan- each book teaches a big theological word in child-friendly language.
- Accuracy to the Bible, to adult teaching of these terms, and yet still using phrases that are common for littles- like King, turn your back to sin, Jesus- Rescuer, ...
The other two books published are God and Jesus. Just as effective and well-chosen as the Gospel. These books could teach a 3-year-old, a college kid, or a parent about the most essential doctrine of the gospel.
These books are books that I hope kids request over and over again so that the children memorize the concepts as does the reader. So valuable on so many levels.
Sample pages:
What I wonder:
- Will children want these books without a rhyme factor repeated over and over?
- Will they make posters to go with the series for older kids in classrooms? These would be great word wall images in a learning environment- and if you changed the font, even at a Bible college.
- What other books will come in this series.
I purchased these books when they were released and haven't had a chance to read them with littles yet due to the pandemic. But that time is coming soon I hope.
