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.

This puzzle book about God brings all the pieces together in a way that makes it easy for kids 7-12 to understand the Bible’s message of love and salvation.
The different sections of each chapter include get the facts, read it, talk about it and talk to God about it. This interactive book with puzzles throughout can bring a child to faith or strengthen the faith that he or she already has.
I’ll be sending this to my grandson to enjoy. I’m wondering if Ms Ackermann has any more puzzle books in the works. I would be happy to see them.
