The Redical Book for Kids by Champ Thornton

he Radical Book for Kids (New Growth Press, October 2016)

A kid-sized explorer’s guide to faith and life

The Radical Book for Kids is a fun-filled explorer’s guide to the Bible, church history, and life for boys and girls age 8 and up. Along with examining some of the most exciting realities in the universe, the handbook is vibrantly illustrated and chock-full of fun facts and ideas. Deep truths are communicated to elementary and middle-school aged kids while stimulating their curiosity and sense of adventure within a gospel-centered framework.

This power-packed book is “radical” in more ways than you might think! It is “radical” in the sense of the original meaning of the word, “going to the root or origin.” The Radical Book for Kids will take children on a fascinating journey into the ancient roots of the Christian faith. But it’s also “radical” in the more modern sense of being revolutionary. Kids read about men and women who learned to trust Jesus and stand for him—displaying radical faith—even when everything seemed against them.

But The Radical Book for Kids is also “radical”—meaning fun or cool—in the eyes of a child. Kids read about ancient weapons (and how to make one), learn about jewels, create pottery, discover ancient languages, use secret codes, locate stars, tell time using the sun, play a board game that’s 3,000 years old—and more.

Check out the table of contents, skip around, or read straight through. However a child chooses to explore it, The Radical Book for Kids will open new vistas for their imagination and help to make straight paths for their feet.

My Take:  I cannot wait till by granddaughters are old enough to go through this book with them.  This will be a great book to have side by side when reading the Bible to help with any questions they may have.  This book take tough theological ideas and puts them into language that a child can understand.  This book is good for both Parents and kids to look through together.  Parents may even learn somethings, I know that I did.  It is a good quality book that should hold up to alot of handling.  I wish that I had this book when I was homeschooling.  Great resource.  

I received a review copy of this book from Litfuse in exchange for my honest review.
