A page-turning storybook of theology for kids
In the cellar of the old stone cathedral, Carla and Timothy uncover a
life-changing treasure, a carefully wrapped ancient book known as
The Ology.
What adults might describe as a beautifully illustrated storybook of
systematic theology, the kids discover to be a story of adventure,
mystery, and wonder that leads them to the truth about God, themselves,
and the world around them.
Truth is for kids, not just for adults! So
The Ology gives
kids of all ages a beginner’s theology book to help them understand who
God is and how we, as his children, relate to him. Arranged within a
traditional systematic theological framework, each truth in
The Ology
is also connected to the larger redemptive story of Scripture. The
doctrine of God, for example, is presented in the larger framework of
creation, where the attributes of God are more clearly on display.
The Ology
takes abstract theological concepts and makes them easier to understand
with the use of creative examples, illustrations, and analogies. The
goal is not to say everything that could be said about a theological
topic, but rather to share the key thoughts behind a theological
concept.
The Ology is a starting point to learning theology and aims to create a hunger and desire in children to learn more as they grow older.
Designed for six-year-olds through preteens, this flexible resource
includes built-in adaptations for use with younger or older children, so
that entire families can enjoy it together. Read
The Ology to
preschoolers, read it with grade-school kids, and let older kids
discover the “hidden” truths by reading the corresponding Scripture
passages for each section. However you read it,
The Ology will
give your children a gift that will last a lifetime—a solid foundation
of life-changing biblical truth that will point them to the God who
loves them and gave himself for them.

My Take ~ The Ology is beautifully illustrated book with biblical truths on each page. I loved the illustrations and how the story points straight to God's truth. Kids will love this book. It would be a perfect family devotion book, the chapters are short and the verses are right there on the pages. This would be a perfect Christmas gift for a family with young children.
Highly recommended!
