Children always seem to have dozens of questions about life, the world and everything around them.
For Christian parents it's sometimes hard to formulate Biblical answers to questions kids ask about God and what it means to be a Christian. Often parents can feel quite overwhelmed when it comes to finding just the right answer to help their child grow in Christ.
"Hey God, can I ask you something?" is a brand-new easy to read question-and-answer style book for children and their parents, designed to provide Biblical answers to many of the general questions primary school aged children ask about God, Jesus, and the authenticity of the Bible.
Each chapter tackles a new question like "Hey God, who are you really?"; "Dear God, how do I talk to you?"; "Excuse me God, was Jesus just make believe or was he a real person?"; and "Um, God, what if I'm scared of dying?"
"Hey God, can I ask you something?" not only provides primary aged school aged children with answers grounded in Scripture, it's also an excellent resource for parents, grandparents, schoolteachers, and Scripture teachers to work through with their kids.
Each chapter of "Hey God, can I ask you something?" ends with a quirky 'Did you know?' factoid to help further illuminate each chapter.
