Discovering Jesus in Genesis

by Susan Hunt, Richie Hunt, Nancy Munger (Illustrator)

…that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden
all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
- Colossians 2:2-3 The Bible is a treasure chest of wisdom and knowledge. But its most magnificent riches are those that reveal the mystery of God-namely, His Son Jesus Christ. Imagine teaching your children that, day after day, they can discover something new about God and His Son in every page of the Bible-from Genesis to Revelation! What a gift to give them! So send your kids on a treasure hunt in the Word with Caleb and Cassie, where they'll learn some of the important things that the Bible teaches about God's character and how they can apply Scripture to their lives. After each story are questions that will help you evaluate their comprehension and encourage additional conversations with them. You'll be assured that they're learning about God's covenant of grace, and their young hearts will find what fun the quest to know more about God can be.

I highly recommend Discovering Jesus in Genesis for bedtime reading with kids. Each chapter takes about 15 minutes. My 8yo son enjoyed it again this year, asking me to read it every night. We read it last about 12 months ago. It has been a blessing to me as well in my walk with God. I have read and reread all Susan Hunt's books to him now, since he was about 4, starting with her ABC books.

this children's devotional has engaged Betsie more than ever before. She loves the characters in the story and has probed her to ask many questions about being a Christian.

The first in Susan Hunt's excellent series of 2... more, please?

[Chris Weston · Rating 4 out of 5]

Almost a 5 star for me. I appreciated the depth of teaching, but the plot wasn't as engaging for my boys as I'd hoped.
