Everything a Child Should Know About God
Young children ask big questions about God, creation, Jesus, prayer, heaven, and salvation. This thoughtful introduction to Christian theology helps parents answer those questions with clear, age-appropriate explanations grounded in Scripture.
Written by Kenneth N. Taylor, Everything a Child Should Know About God presents foundational Christian beliefs through short, two-page chapters designed for preschool and early elementary students. Topics include creation, the Trinity, sin, salvation, prayer, the Holy Spirit, God's character, and many other essential truths of the Christian faith.
Each spread combines a simple explanation with colorful illustrations, Bible references, and a discussion question that encourages children to think more deeply about what they are learning. The brief format makes it easy to read a little at a time while building understanding over the course of the book.
Often described as an introduction to systematic theology for young children, the book presents important biblical concepts in a way that is accessible without oversimplifying them. Children are introduced to foundational truths while parents gain a helpful framework for discussing faith and answering common spiritual questions.
With nearly 200 pages of engaging content, Everything a Child Should Know About God provides families with a practical resource for exploring Christian beliefs together, one topic at a time.

“This is an amazing book! It is beautifully produced, and packed full of wonderful rich truths, distilled into bite-size morsels. It is as good an overview of God’s truths for children as we could hope for. An essential book for all children, and sure to be a blessing to those who read it to them! I am sure it will quickly become a classic.”
— Sam Allberry
“I often reflect that the most important thing about you is what you believe about God because it will inform the way you live and determine your ultimate destiny. This little book is a polychrome primer that will be sure to inform and expand the hearts of little souls. Jenny Brake is to be congratulated for her “magical” illustrations. I love what she did. The binding and the cover and the red marker suggest that this is a fine book -- which it, indeed, is. Excellent in every way!”
— R. Kent Hughes, Professor of Practical Theology, Westminster Theological Seminary; Senior Pastor Emeritus, College Church, Wheaton, IL
“What I really like about this book is that it takes the big categories children need to know about God, and breaks them down into simple, easy language. The author clearly knows children and how to communicate with them, and has also put a lot of thought into faithfully communicating biblical truth. It hits all the highlights: Who God is, Creation, the Fall, Salvation in Christ, the Church. And it has lots of fun illustrations (which are also ethnically diverse).”
— Jamie Duguid
“This is super for preschoolers and also very young children who might have limited attention spans. Just once short page has fantastic illustrations, a simple truth about God, and encouragement to take the discussion further and personalize it if you want. As a Grandma and a Children's Ministry Worker, I see many applications for this book. Keep reading to your kids!”
— Christina Turner
“This is perhaps the best children’s book I’ve seen. Perfectly pitched and gorgeously presented, it makes getting into essential truths so easy. Next to a children’s Bible, this is a real must for all parents with little ones.”
— Michael Reeves, Director of Union and Senior Lecturer, Wales Evangelical School of Theology

This book was a nice transition for our littler one from the nightly devotion one we previously used. It helped explain what we do and why we do it in a nice simple way for younger children to understand in short explanations and colored pictures that held her attention.

I read this book to a five and a seven year old every week and they really look forward to it. It makes bible stories and christianity accessible to them in an easy to understand way. The pictures are wonderful and everything is really well made. The bible verses are picked with care and really enhance the lesson. I would recommend this product.

Solid but very simple
Cary B.
I don’t love the illustrations. The content is VERY simplistic, bored my 4-5 year old. It’s Biblically solid, but not engaging.

Everything a Child Should Know About God
Randi D.
I've enjoyed this kid level devotional with my daughter. I have not come across a book like it. Most children's bible books deal only with bible stories but this explains how the Bible was written and by who. It explains prophets and topics that are not usually taught at this age level all in small bite sized easy to understand pieces.

creative, fun, and fascinating to the young mind
Howard
easy simple sentences answer child-like questions about God in a fun and enjoyable way. there are darling illustrations accompanying each point, and explanation. however, what i enjoy the most is asking the questions at the end and having my son be excited to answer! i absolutely would recommend this product; expecially for inquisitive young children. this book is worth every penny to have watch my son be excited to be informed, at his comprehension level, about God.
