How can you help your children find excitement in seeking God? In Seekers, C. S. Fritz takes your family on an interactive journey in following Jesus.
This workbook has the look and feel of a mysterious journal, wanting to be read by your family to discover and unlock the secrets within. It’s bright and colorful while remaining moody. The target audience is children ages 8-12. I haven’t seen anything like this, and it’s filled with wonderful theological truths.
Biblical Themes
Word puzzles and activities will draw your children to study Bible passages in a fun and exciting way. There are open-ended questions for further discussion with your family. Jesus remains at the heart of this book, and the various clues and riddles are meant to help you know him and what it means to follow him.
Biblical themes are presented in their most memorable ways. Clay is used to remind us of our Maker, while rainbows remind us of God’s promises. I love the emphasis on more obscure themes, such as snakes representing our need for a savior, and honey that represents the sweetness of the Word of life.
Finding Jesus
With over 200 pages, this book is meant to be explored. A parent guide is included at the end to help you keep your kids on track. It’s worth mentioning that the pages seem especially thick, making it ideal to take on the road or in a backpack. Your children can take this book with them wherever they go.
While meant to be used for families, I can see this book being used in Sunday School classes, Vacation Bible Schools, and youth small groups. Older children might feel comfortable using it as an independent activity. As the world begins to reopen, this book will be a great help in keeping your family grounded in the Word, seeking the Kingdom of God, and finding Jesus.
I received a media copy of Seekers and this is my honest review.
