Theologie für Kinder hilft Familien, wichtige Wahrheiten über Gott, sich selbst und die Welt, in der sie leben, an ihre Kinder weiterzugeben. Selbst komplexere theologische Aussagen werden durch anschauliche Analogien greifbar gemacht. Das Buch kann jüngeren Kindern vorgelesen werden oder man lässt es sich von Schulkindern vorlesen. Teenies können die verschiedenen Bibelstellen nachschlagen. Das Buch enthält ein Glossar mit den wichtigsten Begriffen der Bibel, die Kinder kennen sollten, sowie für jedes Kapitel Fragen zur Wiederholung.

Fußball oder Tanzen? Kochen oder Bauen? Das sind Interessen, die ein Kind haben kann, die aber weder von seinem Geschlecht bestimmt werden noch sein Geschlecht definieren. Ausgehend von einer Alltagssituation erklärt Marty Machowski in diesem Buch einfühlsam und leicht verständlich, dass das Geschlecht eines jeden Kindes ein gutes, unveränderliches Geschenk Gottes ist. Dann zeigt er anhand des Evangeliums, wie Gott sich die Welt ursprünglich gedacht hat und wie sie wurde, wie sie heute ist.

High on the blazing peak of Mount Sinai, two goats stand in awe as lightning cracks, smoke billows, and the voice of God shakes the earth! The Ten Commandments are about to be given—but for Malik the mountain goat, all he can think about is escaping before the whole mountain explodes! But Memphis the farm goat? He charges straight into the storm. He has to find his lost shepherd—Moses. A mysterious dove has given him hope, but Malik isn’t convinced. "Moses is long gone," he insists. "Even if it’s the same Moses from the burning bush, he’ll never remember you!"

Trapped! The mighty Egyptian army charges forward, and the endless waters of the Red Sea block the way. Panic spreads among the Israelites—but in the midst of the chaos, two grumbling oxen, Oscar and Otto, have their own complaints about the situation. "We’re trapped,” they moan. But Scrappy, their sharp-eyed canine companion, has a different view. "Remember what I told you. Complaining blinds, you to the blessings around you!"

Goliath’s voice booms across the valley, his taunts shaking the hearts of Israel’s soldiers. “Give me a man that we may fight!” But instead of stepping forward, the warriors shrink back in fear—all except the warhorses. Sargon, the mighty stallion of Eliab, rears up, nostrils flaring. "Let me at that goon! The bigger they are, the harder they fall!" He’s ready to charge into battle alone—until Eliab yanks hard on the reins. Then, clip-clop, clip-clop—in trots Devorah, a humble donkey carrying supplies for Jesse’s youngest son, David. But David isn’t here just to deliver food.

Zafir the ferret and Shahina the falcon have had enough of the sneaky rat invading Rahab’s home in the towering walls of Jericho. When the little thief makes off with her precious cheese, the chase is on! Through dark looping tunnels, and out into the open—Zafir is right on the rat’s tail! Just when the rat thinks he’s escaped—whoosh! Shahina swoops in, her sharp talons locking onto him. Up, up, up she soars—and then… she lets go! The rat plummets straight into the flooding Jordan River.

The Queen of Sheba’s magnificent camel caravan is nearing Jerusalem, where the legendary King Solomon—the wisest ruler to ever live—awaits. At the head of the journey is Jamaal, the queen’s most disciplined camel, who has spent his life committing Solomon’s proverbs to memory. Beside him, Buni, the guide’s curious and wide-eyed camel, is less interested in wisdom—he can’t wait to see the mighty warhorses of Solomon’s grand stables. But as the caravan enters the golden city, a desperate scream shatters the air.

Three scrappy buzzards circle the sky, their beady eyes locked onto the scene below. They’ve caught wind of something big—and to them, that means one thing: dinner is coming. Below, the greatest contest in history is about to unfold. The prophet Elijah stands boldly before the people, challenging the false prophets of Baal to a test. "The God who answers by fire—He is the true God!"

The great prophet Isaiah is deep in the midst of writing God’s urgent warning to Israel. But in the shadows of his study, a curious little mouse named Darash has a mission of his own—to unlock the secrets written upon the sacred scroll. There’s just one problem. Isaiah’s two sons, Hashbaz and Jashub, are sprawled out, blocking the way—lazy, loud, and satisfied to stay that way. Darash needs a distraction. And he knows just the mouse for the job. Enter his brother Akbar—codename: Lightning—the fastest mouse to ever live!
