In continuing with our blog’s “wee-kids Wednesdays” here’s a review of a Christian Children’s book.
Ken Ham and Cindy Malott. Answers Book for Kids Volume 3: God and the Bible. Green Forest, AK: Master Books, March 27th 2009. 48 pp.
5 out of 5
Purchase: Amazon
Out of the first four volume in the Answers Book for Kids series by Ken Ham this is probably my favorite one thus far, exceeding my delight of the third volume. A big reason is the topic of book four: Sin, Salvation and the Christian life. These themes are related to the Gospel and one can never go wrong with going over the Gospel to one’s children!
While other books in this series does talk about the Gospel this book is even more explicit with the Gospel given the book’s main topic. I also enjoyed this topic of this book more because while some of the questions in the other volume might have answers that are less certain or even at times when Ken Ham answered but also rightly informed the readers we don’t know for sure or we don’t know at all, a book on the topic of the Gospel is one of the Bible’s more certain subject and what God has clearly revealed in Holy Writ. But it also allows readers to stay focus of why we are reading these answers book series in the first place: for the salvation of the readers and edification those who are saved to grow in their salvation (Christian life). Questions in this book include “Could God forgive our sins without the suffering of Christ?,” “What does being ‘born again’ mean?” and “Why does God let the bad guys win sometimes?” Again I recommend this book.
Reblogged this on RG's 2 Cents Studios and commented:
Proverbs 22:6
Train up a child in the way he should go,
And when he is old he will not depart from it.
Thanks for the reblog! Appreciate your love and support for my book reviews…and blog!
My pleasure, Jim! 🙂
The costs seems reasonable especially if its going to go over questions related to sin and salvation
For $5.79 its good
I’m very glad to see there are good books out there for children that focus on the Gospel!
My mind tells me this is a not science since its from Answers in Genesis.
Your comment is fake news. This book is on theology (salvation and sin) not science. Did you actually check out my review? Seem like your mind has more science fiction than a library.
Rekt.
Sounds wonderful!
Thank you, JIm, for another great review. It is good to know these are available for our great-grandchildren. Blessings.

Jesus came to pay a debt that we could not; to be our legal justifier to reconcile us back to a Holy God; only if we are willing to receive Him: “For the wages of sin is death…” (Romans 6:23).
God so loved the world that He gave us His only begotten son, so that whoever believes in Him, through faith, shall not perish, but have everlasting life. Jesus says if we wish to enter into life to keep the commands! The two greatest commands are to love God with all your heart, soul, strength, and mind; and your neighbor as yourself. All the law hang on these commands. We must be born of and lead by the Holy Spirit, to be called children of God, to inherit the kingdom. If we are willing to humble ourselves in prayer to Jesus, to confess and forsake our sins, He is willing to give the Holy Spirit to those who keep asking of Him; giving us a new heart, leading us into all truth!
Jesus came to free us from the bondage of sin. The everlasting fire was prepared for the devil and his angels due to disobedience to God’s law. If we do the same, what makes us any different than the devil? Jesus says unless we repent, we shall perish. For sin is the transgression of the law. We must walk in the Spirit so we may not fulfill the lusts of the flesh, being hatred, fornication, drunkenness and the like. Whoever practices such things will not inherit the kingdom (Galatians 5:16-26). If we sin, we may come before Jesus to ask for forgiveness (1 John 2:1-2). Evil thoughts are not sins, but rather temptations. It is not until these thoughts conceive and give birth by our own desires that they become sin (James 1:12-15). When we sin, we become in the likeness of the devil’s image, for he who sins is of the devil (1 John 3:8); but if we obey Jesus, in the image of God. For without holiness, we shall not see the Lord (Hebrews 12:14).
The oldest religion in the world is holiness through faith (James 1:27). What religion did Adam and Eve follow before the fall? Jesus, Who became the last Adam, what religion does He follow? Is He not holy? He never told us to follow the rituals and traditions of man but to take up our cross and follow Him (Luke 9:23). There are many false doctrines being taught leading people astray. This is why we need the Holy Spirit for discernment. Unlike religion, holiness cannot be created. It is given to us from above by the baptism of the Spirit. Jesus is more than a religion; He is about having a personal relationship with the Father. Start by reading the Gospel of Matthew, to hear the words of God, to know His character and commandments. Follow and obey Jesus, for He is the way, the truth, and the life!
