How do I know the Bible is true? What does it mean when the Bible talks about the kingdom of God? How can God be three persons at the same time?

What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

'I enthusiastically recommended Kathryn Slattery’s previous book, If I Could Ask God Anything, by saying that she never talks down to kids but always talks with them—not as equals but on equal ground. She continues this conversation in 365 Bible Answers for Curious Kids: An 'If I Could Ask God Anything' Devotional. Her daily devotions help the young reader develop a lifelong relationship with God in a way that is both simple yet deep. Plus the book offers an exciting introduction to basic Christianity. I was a curious kid once. I could really have used this book.' — Edward Grinnan, editor-in-chief of Guideposts and author of Always by My Side

'Kathryn Slattery's book is a godsend to inquisitive young minds and busy parents alike. Here are answers geared to a child's understanding and, best of all, opening the door to meaningful family dialogue on the things that matter most. How I wish we'd had this marvelous book when our children were young! I remember so often thumbing through the pages of my King James Bible, sure I recalled something about the question a youngster had tossed at me out of the blue (Where do kids' ideas come from anyway?) and ending up with a vague reply made up of half-remembered verses and 'You'll understand better when you're older.' By then the young inquirer would have lost interest, and I'd have resolved yet again to improve my Bible literacy. It will be a lucky family who has this book on its shelves! I predict, in fact, that it won't stay long on the shelf. It's a resource to pull out over the dinner table, on car trips, at bedtime—anyplace and anytime that a child's inquiring mind asks the big questions. There are no 'snap answers' here, but encouragement to explore and discover God's amazing world—and keep asking those important questions!' — Elizabeth Sherrill, author of The Hiding Place and Surprised by Grace

'Kathryn Slattery tackles with grace the age-old questions of young minds: Does God sleep? Is it okay to write in my Bible? What if I get bored in church? 365 Bible Answers for Curious Kids includes a friendly lesson for every day of the year, prayers for all kinds of kid-type dilemmas, and a foray into faith’s deeper waters. Curious parents will benefit from this delightful book as well.' — Colleen Hughes, editor-in-chief of Angels on Earth

'Our kids are so curious and they ask so many good questions. As parents, we want to be able to answer their questions with wisdom and truth, but we don’t always know how. Kathryn Slattery’s book not only answers our children’s questions in a way that will resonate with their young hearts, but it does so in a way that highlights God’s wild and unconditional love for them. Through this book, our children will not only grow in knowledge of God, but they will grow in relationship with Him! What more could we ask for?' — Jeannie Cunnion, author of Parenting the Wholehearted Child and Mom Set Free

'Ever scratch your head about how to answer your kid's or your grandkid's tough questions about faith? Kathryn Slattery is here to help with a whole year of answers to kids' questions. The perfect resource for any home.' — Rick Hamlin, executive editor of Guideposts and author of Pray for Me

Kathryn Slattery's new book offers a creative, warm-hearted introduction to the Bible and Christian traditions for curious kids—and maybe their parents as well! Covering a wide range of theological topics in clear and simple language, 365 Bible Answers for Curious Kids incorporates questions about the Church year, Christian traditions, and what it means to be a Christian, as well as biblical questions about God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, heaven, prayer, and even pets! The format of a daily devotional allows for bite-size readings, and there is an opportunity on every page to go deeper if desired. Most importantly, this little volume proclaims the love of God and invites children of all ages to embark on an exciting relationship with Jesus Christ, who loves them. — Hillary R. Bercovici, PhD, senior fellow, Trinity Institute
