Product Description

Encourage your child's curiosity with I Wonder by Elizabeth F. Caldwell. Children have a lot of questions, especially about the Bible and God and sometimes we lack the explanation needed to sufficiently answer these questions. In this thoughtful book, Caldwell offers parents, pastors and leaders how to help children build a faith vocabulary by reading the Bible as a trust resource for life. Includes expert advice about what translations may be best for children, which passages and stories of the Bible are age-appropriate, and what methods are best to help children as they learn Scripture.

Publisher's Description

How can anyone completely answer the difficult questions that children ask: Who created God? Will there be another flood? Is the Bible true? But then, we adults have questions too: With so many options and Bible translations, where can I go for help? What is the best Bible for my child? How do we talk about miracle stories, healing stories, and the creation stories? What about violence? When kids ask about the relevancy of the Bible for today, what do we say? How we read and interpret the Bible with children may mean the difference between whether or not it will continue to be an important source for their faith development as they become young adults. Written by an expert in children’s ministry, I Wonder is a resource for adults who want to explore ways to help children read, engage, wrestle, and grow into deeper understanding of the Bible. It is for those who come to the Bible with souls open to be fed and who want their children to seek faith and wisdom. It will also help readers address timeless questions and issues including recent biblical scholarship, literary analysis, reading the Bible from their social location and reading the Bible in a multi-faith world.
