This is an easy to use and scripturally sound resource for answering kids questions about God, Jesus, the Bible, and more. So many topics are covered, and the text is broken down in such a way that one can easily locate each subject. There are a couple hundred questions that are addressed, some very simple, some more complex. What I really like about this particular book is that it is a tool that a parent, grandparent, Sunday school teacher, etc could use with a wide range of children. There are many questions included that I could see a very young child asking, such as “what did Jesus look like” and “how did Jesus walk on water?” Maybe even better, though, is the fact that there are many questions that even a much older child or teen might inquire about, such as “what does the word catholic mean in the Apostles’ Creed?”, and “if the gospels are all about Jesus, why are they different?”. There are even answers in this book that I didn’t know, such as the explanation of why the use of X-mas instead of Christmas was not considered at all disrespectful by the early Christians. The one thing I don’t love about this book is the cover. It is great if you are looking for a book to answer the questions of a young child, but as I said, one of my favorite things about this book is it’s usability with older kids and teens. However, if I were to try to show my 13 year old son a passage out of this book that I think would really help answer questions he might have, he would be very turned off by the cover, (looks like a children’s book), and any helpful information would probably be discredited as a result. Maybe the author will eventually take some of the more complex questions/answers from this text and offer them in a book geared toward older kids.
