God's Amazing Creation: Genesis, Chapters 1 and 2

by Kay Arthur, Janna Arndt

God’s Amazing Creation takes kids through the first five chapters of Genesis, focusing on the theme of creation in chapters one and two. Young scholars will put on their archaeologist hats to help the book’s main characters―inductive detectives Max and Molly―dig up the truth about how the world began. Kids will discover who the world’s creator is, how the heavens and earth were formed, what exactly happened in the beginning, and how the earth, the sea, people, and animals came into existence. Great fun and wonderful Bible truths for kids with an insatiable appetite for the “whys” of life!

Reviews

[Heather Gmiterek · Rating 4 out of 5]

I just finished this Bible study with my 10 year old daughter. It was hard work that required a lot of diligence on her part to really learn to study her Bible. It is not a lighthearted study but really teaches kids to dig into the word, look at context, see the gospel and hope of Christ throughout the Word. It’s four stars because it was hard work and not a lot of delight and I would have loved to see her delight a little more and cry a little less. Solid Bible teaching, enough fun mazes and code cracking in it to make her not want to quit.
