Sound familiar?

How do I best introduce God and Faith to my kid?

"Where did God come from?" "Can God see me in the dark?"

Kids ask the hardest ones at bedtime, when you're tired and nothing's open in front of you.

Few show how the pieces fit: who God is, why Jesus came, what grace means. 

Most kids' Bible books tell the stories. Few show how the pieces fit: who God is, why Jesus came, what grace means. Your kid can know Noah's Ark by heart and still not know why it matters.

The age window is short. 

The window is short. Barna Group's research found most people's core spiritual beliefs are largely in place by age 13. Ages 6 to 9 are the years they're still asking you.

Sources: Barna Group (2003); Lifeway Research, survey of 2,002 adults (2017, published 2019).

What happens as they grow matters too.

What happens later matters too. In a 2017 Lifeway Research survey, 2 in 3 young adults who went to church regularly as teens stopped attending for at least a year between 18 and 22.

Is this book for you?

If any of these sound like you, yes.

Not every book is for every reader. Here's who this one is genuinely for.

The parent who got stumped explaining

You know what you believe. Saying it in words a 7-year-old gets is the hard part. Each page does that part with you.

The homeschool family

Eleven sections in order, a verse with every concept, questions at the end. It drops straight into your Bible time.

The grandparent who loves

You can't sit in on every bedtime. This sits on their shelf for the time big question about God comes.

Nod at even one? You're exactly who we curated this for.

What's inside

11 sections and 88 big ideas, in the order kids need them 

 Each idea gets one everyday picture kids already know. The wind shows a God you can't see (p. 8). One drop of ink in a glass of water shows how sin spreads (p. 50). Then comes a verse from the NLT and a question to talk about together. 

HOW THE BOOK IS LAID OUT

  • God Exists p. 8 · the wind
  • God Never Changes p. 15 · a rock through sun, storm and snow
  • God Is Just p. 21 · the fairest referee
  • God Inspired the Bible p. 29 · a teacher helping you write
  • God Rested and We Should Too p. 45 · taking a break after playing hard
  • Sin Spreads p. 50 · one drop of ink in a glass of water
  • We Cannot Fix Sin Ourselves p. 56 · stuck in quicksand

Our curation process

How this book earned its place

Before a title reaches our shelf, we ask four simple questions. Here's how this one answered.

01 ·Is it genuinely useful?

Yes. Every idea comes with a picture from everyday life, and the words are easy to understand. The hardest ideas in the book, like grace, are explained in a few lines.

02 ·Is it clear?

Yes. Each idea comes with a verse from the New Living Translation, so the answer you give your child comes from Scripture.

03 ·Does it respect your time?

Yes. One idea takes a few minutes. At one a night, you'll finish all 88 in about three months, and they'll keep going back to their favorites.

04 ·Would we recommend it to a friend?

To a friend's kids, Yes! It introduces them to faith, biblical teachings, and important values in a way that is accessible and meaningful for young minds. A helpful starting point for them to explore these questions with their kids, encourage meaningful conversations, and nurture a deeper understanding of faith from a young age.

When They Ask: the parent answer guideIn the Family Kit

For the question you didn't see coming

When They Ask: the parent answer guide

40 answer cards for the questions kids 6 to 9 really ask. Each one gives you three sentences to read out loud, a Bible verse, and the page of the book to open together. Then there's a section called "The hard ones." These are the questions that come with tears, like when someone they love dies, why God lets bad things happen, and whether their dog will be in heaven. For each one you get what they're really asking, what to say, what to avoid and a short prayer.

GOOD TO KNOW

Common Questions

Is this just more Bible stories? +

No. It explains the beliefs behind the stories: who God is, why Jesus came and what grace means. Keep your storybook Bible for the stories themselves.

My kids go to Sunday school. Isn't that enough? +

Sunday school is a great start. It's about an hour a week, and the big questions usually come at home. This gives you something to open when they do.

Why ages 6 to 9? +

That's when kids start asking the big questions and still bring them to you. Barna Group's research found most people's core spiritual beliefs are largely in place by age 13.

As they grow, kids stop believing things just because an adult said so — and start deciding for themselves what's true. It's the window where their framework for truth gets set. Give them reasons for faith now, or they'll find reasons against it in high school.

Which Bible translation does it use? +

The New Living Translation (NLT).

Is this a physical book or an ebook? +

A physical print. The companions are digital downloads you keep forever.

What if I don't like it? +
