Give your children the Christian answers to the world around them with Who is God? The basic questions of the Christian faith, including "How can I know what's true?", "What's God Really Like?", "If God created the world, then why isn't it perfect?", "Is Jesus the only way to God?" and others are answered through multi-dimensional lessons. Each big picture is answered through smaller segments that feature biblical instruction as well as a story featuring a Christian child sharing the gospel. Bible memory boxes, "words you need to know," and comprehension questions will help your children build a foundational Christian worldview. 253 full-color, indexed pages, hardcover.

Our children are bombarded on a daily basis with competing messages. Every

song, movie, book, TV show, blog, and game is full of ideas ideas about truth,

morality, beauty, identity, faith, and more. Not all of these ideas are true. Some

are wrong, some are deceptive, and some are outright destructive. It is more

important than ever that young children be equipped to discern among competing

ideas and stand in the truth. This is why Apologia has teamed with Summit

Ministries to bring you the "What We Believe" Series.

The "What We Believe" Series is an outstanding way to teach your child the

essential beliefs of the Christian faith, but it's so much more With this student-

directed, Bible-based curriculum, your children will learn how to use Scripture as

a lens through which to view the world around them to see everything the way

God sees it and know the truth.

“A wonderful tool for families! Who is God? helps parents construct a firm foundation upon which children can build their faith.”

-Leanna Ellis
Homeschooling mother and award-winning novelist

“Instruction in apologetics and worldview is sadly lacking among Christian youth, and that’s probably why so many fall away from their faith after high school. Who Is God? is a sort of ‘moral flashlight’ to illuminate the source of truth for young people everywhere. In an increasingly dark world, this book will be much appreciated by parents, homeschoolers, and any ministry that cares about young people. Get it and read it with your kids. I am.”

-Chuck Holton
Author and editor of Oliver North’s American Heroes

“When your child is old enough to chew meat instead of just sipping milk, this is the book you want.”

-Donita K. Paul
Parent, educator, and author of The Dragon Keeper Chronicles

“An excellent resource that our family will be using to guide our worship times!”

-Timothy Paul Jones, Ph.D.
Editor of The Journal of Family Ministry
Associate Professor of Leadership,
Southern Baptist Theological Seminary

“A tapestry of challenging questions, exciting stories, solid biblical teaching, and wise counsel. This series will bring adventure and fun back into learning—for the whole family.”

-Larry Libby
Author of Someday Heaven

“Who Is God? helps parents help children ask the most important question that could ever be asked. More important still, it answers that question with uncompromising biblical fidelity. A powerful tool in helping parents to raise their children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.”

-R. C. Sproul, Jr.

    Tell us a little about yourself.  I am a father of six children, all of whom have been taught at home. Though I currently work as a freelance writer and editor, and I have more than a dozen years' experience in Christian publishing at the management level.

    What was your motivation behind this project?  The project was born out of a crying need among homeschooling families for a quality curriculum to help them instruct elementary-age children in a biblical worldview as well as the fundamental beliefs of the Christian faith. Our publisher, Apologia, has published many wonderful science textbooks for Christian families and schools, and they sought us out to help them expand their offerings to include a series of full-color textbooks on worldview. Who Is God? (And Can I Really Know Him?) is the first in a series of four books.

    What do you hope folks will gain from this project?  John and I hope that these books will change the way children and their families look at the world each day. In a world of competing ideas, these books are designed to help children learn to discern the truth by using God’s Word as a lens through which to view the world around them -- to see everything the way God sees it. We pray that these books will bring the world, its Creator, and His amazing love into clearer focus for parents and their children, helping them to build an unshakable faith to last a lifetime.

    How were you personally impacted by working on this project?  I have been tremendously blessed by the project, which has required me to approach God anew with a childlike faith. It's not easy to describe His wonders and beauty and mysteries using only a fifth-grade vocabulary, but I did my best. Now it's in the hands of the Holy Spirit to use as He sees fit.

    Who are your influences, sources of inspiration or favorite authors / artists?  I hesitate to mention the names of friends and colleagues for fear of omitting someone. However, among contemporary authors, I am particularly fond of the works of Kathleen Norris, Mark Buchanan, Jan Karon, and Ken Gire. Jack Hayford has been a huge influence on my life.

    Anything else you'd like readers / listeners to know:  Our publisher, Apologia, is well known for its customer support, and this product will prove no exception. Parents and teachers who will be using these books as curriculum will have free access to extensive teaching helps and supplemental materials posted on the Apologia website.
