God's Attributes

by Jill Nelson

Children can--and should!--be taught theology from an early age. A deep knowledge of the Lord provides a solid foundation on which they can build their faith. This interactive family devotional makes it easy to introduce your children to the attributes of God. Accompanied by Scripture, discussion questions, and activities, each entry explores one of God's attributes--his holiness, wisdom, goodness, love, and more--and encourages readers to delight in these qualities and remember their implications in daily life. By promoting critical thinking and reflection, Jill Nielson provides the tools your children need to embrace the doctrine of God for themselves. The time you and your children spend together will exemplify the importance of drawing near to the Lord. Bridge the gap between biblical truth and real-life application, and help your children to know God in a deeper way so that they might love him better.
