Detailed Description: The Radical Book for Kids
The Radical Book for Kids: Exploring the Roots and Shoots of Faith by Champ Thornton is a high-energy, fun-filled explorer’s guide to the Bible, church history, and the Christian life. Written for children ages 8 to 14, this award-winning encyclopedia-style book is designed to help young readers grow deep roots in their faith.
Why is it "Radical"?
The title plays on three meanings of the word:
- Back to the Roots: It takes children back to the "roots" of the Christian faith (the Latin word radix means root).
- Bold Living: It encourages a life that is radically different because of a relationship with Jesus.
- Engaging Content: It is "radically" fun and visually packed with variety.
What’s Inside?
The book is composed of 67 short chapters that can be read in any order. It masterfully blends deep theological truths with practical life skills and historical adventures:
- Biblical Knowledge: Kids will learn how to read the Bible, understand the big story of the Gospel, and explore the basics of systematic theology in a language they can understand.
- Church History: It features "mini-biographies" of famous Christians—from Athanasius and Augustine to John Knox and Lottie Moon—showing how God has worked through His people for centuries.
- Practical Life Skills: It addresses real-life issues like how to handle anger, how to make wise decisions, why we need good manners, and how to pray.
- Fun & Games: The book is packed with interactive content, including how to make a slingshot, learning the Hebrew and Greek alphabets, star-gazing, and even how to clean your room!
Key Features:
- Award-Winning: Winner of the Christian Book Award for Children’s Resources.
- Visually Stunning: Every page is uniquely designed with illustrations, maps, and diagrams that keep children engaged.
- Gospel-Centered: Every chapter ultimately points back to the grace and truth found in Jesus Christ.
