Do your kids love trucks? They’ll adore this book about God!
In fact, one of them grew up to be a diesel mechanic. I still have kids who love trucks!
There are some wonderful secular picture books about trucks. Books I read so many times to my kids that they actually fell apart.
But you’ll be hard pressed to find a book about God for kids who love trucks–until now.
A Book About God for Kids Who Love Trucks
I opened my door the other day to a package. The contents made me laugh.
Inside was a book about God–and about trucks. It seemed so strange–and so awesome. Knowing the book came from Christian Focus 4 Kids, I expected it would be theologically sound. I instantly wished it had existed when my kids were little.
Even better, I found the book was an A-Z book about God, and about trucks!
God is Better Than Trucks by Sarah Reju
Sarah Reju, a pastor’s wife and homeschool mom of five from Washington, D.C., has written a wonderful book about the attributes of God for children. God is Better Than Trucks (Christian Focus 4 Kids, 2017) is a delightful, easy-to-read alphabet book about God.
Each page covers one or two different kids of trucks (and some other fun vehicles). Sarah Reju details an attribute of a truck, then talks about why God is better than that truck. She provides a Scripture verse as well.
For example, for the letter M, Sarah Reju writes:
The MIXER TRUCK needs cement, water, and sand to make concrete, but God made everything out of nothing. God is better than MIXER TRUCKS!
“In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” Genesis 1:1
Tell me what kid that loves trucks wouldn’t love this book about God? And you can love it too because it shares truth in a fun, childlike way.

God Is Better Than Trucks: A-Z Alphabetical Book]
An A-Z Book About God
The illustrations for God is Better Than Trucks are by Roger De Klerk. They look just like the front cover–bright, cheerful, and modern. I like the fact that the book is illustrated in a manner similar to many of the modern children’s picture books you’ll find at the library.
The A-Z aspect of the book is a fun addition for young kids just learning their alphabet.
God is Better Than Trucks is a wonderful book about God’s attributes written at an appropriate and appealing level for kids up to age 6. Hooray for Sarah Reju. Job well done.
