The Acrostic of Scripture
gives parents and teachers a unique way to teach theology to children and makes
catechism fun! An alphabet of words introducing biblical theology, written to a
rhyming beat, paints a detailed and varied portrait of the unfolding story of
the Bible, as it is fulfilled by Jesus.
Authors Jonathan Gibson and Timothy
Brindle have created The Acrostic of Scripture, to help children ages
five to eleven learn theology so their “knowledge of God’s big picture is
better.” The fourth release in the Acrostic Theology for Kids series, this book
is fun to read, simple to memorize, and features illustrations from C. S. Fritz
that shine with creativity.
The Acrostic of Scripture
includes a QR code in the back that can be scanned to listen to the audio
version of the book which Timothy Brindle reads in rap style.
