Independent Bible Study for Kids that Mom Love…

We want our kids to get into the habit of exploring God’s Word. It’s important that they understand how to observe, interpret, and apply the Bible.

With a little help, our kids can become great Bible investigators!

When our 8-12 year olds truly understand what God’s Word says about Creation, they’ll know:

God is the Creator and Originator of all things.
The historical story of the seven days of Creation.
They are fearfully and wonderfully created by God.
The role of each Person of our Triune God in Creation.
God’s creation mandates.
The gospel of Jesus Christ.

It’s important that our kids know all about Creation. It’s also important that they understand how to study God’s Word rightly.

As your children, ages 8-12, work through Bible Investigators: Creation, they’ll learn how to observe, interpret, and apply 40 Bible passages. With 6 units and 30 lessons, the 272-page Bible study will take your kids through everything they need to know about God’s Creation.

…in a Puzzle-Based Package Kids Crave!

Kids love puzzles. And, moms know that working through word puzzles and logic activities helps our kids think deeply about what they are learning. Your children will look forward to spending time studying biblical vocabulary, theological concepts, and doctrine explained straight from God’s Word.

And, they’ll enjoy fun explanations, engaging journal prompts and space, and the repetition of Creation phrases as they build their knowledge about God’s Word.

Bible Investigators: Creation is a fun way for your 8-12 year olds to learn all about Creation, in a puzzle-based package they’ll want to work through!

There are a great many truths in life to be found—some interesting, some boring, and some that really matter. You can be the kind of investigator who spends time puzzling out important truth so that you can know all the knowable knowledge that God has given us. That’s right. God, the Creator of the Universe, gave you a great big letter from him to explore and study so that you can discover the truths that really matter to your life!”

The Bible author wants to remind you that nothing just magically appears. Everything has a creator.

For instance, have you ever been walking along, picking up acorns and leaves when—BOOM—a house just appears right in front of you? First of all, you’d probably be really glad you didn’t get squished by the mysteriously appearing house. But next, you’d wonder where that house came from. Who made it? How did it get there?

We all know that houses don’t appear out of nowhere. Houses are planned, designed, and built. In fact, building a house takes a really long time. Right?
