If I Could Ask God Anything

If I Could Ask God Anything
awesome Bible answers for curious kids
Kathryn Slattery


If you are looking for something to help answer your child's questions about God, the Bible, and issues that we all face in life, then this is a good resource for you! The book is divided into sections so that parents can easily find the topic/answers they are looking for: God, Jesus, Holy Spirit, The Bible, Christianity, Prayer, The Church, Christian Seasons & Holidays, Being A Christian Here & Now, Being A Christian Forever & Ever, and finally Big Questions.

Slattery did an excellent job with using scripture to answer each topic in this book. Each topic's answers are backed up with scripture. Slattery's answers are written in a simple way that is easy for a child to understand. For instance, Who is Jesus? Slattery wrote, "Jesus is God's only Son (Mark 14:61-62). Jesus is the most important person who ever lived in the history of our world." She then gives you scripture verses from the Gospel of John that further explains this answer.

I appreciate the fact that Slattery didn't just answer the questions with her beliefs. She gives you concise answers that are backed up with scripture! I don't want a person's "opinion" on these topics. I want answers that are backed up by scripture, and scripture alone. Occasionally Slattery may give you a personal story to use as an example, but they are just that, examples.

If you find yourself at a loss for words when faced with your child's questions this book is a good starting off point for you. Slattery's answers are simple and gives you scripture (some already written and some you have to look up) to back up the answers.
