Parents: Finally, the resource you’ve been looking for to teach your child about God The God Puzzle is a colorful, easy to use tool to help you communicate to your child the rich truths about God, His ways, His will and His love. The God Puzzle will help you address doctrinal themes of the Christian faith in a kid friendly way, present Bible lessons in an interactive way that will hold the child's attention and deliver quality teaching with no preparation needed. 75% of children leave the church when they leave home.

Ø      Any parent, knowing little or a lot, can teach their child with no preparation Ø      Deep theology and themes of the Christian faith presented so a child can interact with and understand Ø      Deeply Biblical, each lesson points to Christ and a personal relationship to Him Ø      Can be done at any pace that works with your family Ø      Each lesson connects the pieces so the child understands their faith I’ve used THE GOD PUZZLE for Bible classes in my homeschool with my eleven-year-old. We worked about a page or two a day. There are verses to read, questions to answer, even some games (crossword puzzles, etc) for the child to do. The book is designed for kids ages 7 – 12 and would work not only has a home Bible study, but also for churches with children ministries, or in Sunday school classes or even a Christian school. THE GOD PUZZLE covers a wide array of topics ranging from Who is God to Who is Jesus and lots more, including baptism, spiritual gifts, tithe, missions, and more.
