This is honestly one of my favorite biblical children’s books we own. The text on each page is quite brief, but each is rich with accurate theology and the truth of God’s way of salvation. It’s beautiful! Even parents should engage with this book–not only to be prepared for discussions but also to simply enrich your own knowledge of the Lord!

It could be read in one sitting, but it might be more impactful to work through slowly while memorizing the relevant Bible verses. Some kids might be attracted to the rapping component. 🙂 Either way, this book is easy to use in a variety of ways.

There are other books in this series such as The Acrostic of God, The Acrostic of Jesus, and The Acrostic of Scripture. Have you read any of these?
