Activity book bursting with brain-teasing puzzles, which helps kids investigate the Bible for themselves.
Bursting with 90 brain-teasing puzzles, 40 Bible passages and 30 concepts regarding God’s creation, this lesson-and-activity book will give kids aged 8-12 skills to investigate the Bible for themselves—like a real investigator!
As kids apply logic and solve challenging puzzles, they will dive deeply into Scripture and examine the Bible’s account of creation, picking up lots of skills for reading and interpreting the Bible.
As well as lots of puzzles, there are journalling boxes for kids to make observations and reflect on what they have learned.
Great for use in homeschools (independent work, morning time or Bible lessons) and also great for churches to use with kids.
Fun for road trips and rainy days too!
The book includes a link to free downloads that include reproducibles for more than one child, so families or classes can easily work together.

When I was a kid, memorizing Scripture felt like a chore. Danika is on to something special with the Bible Investigators series… not only assisting kids to memorize a verse, but also to understand it and apply it to their lives—in a totally FUN way. I'm going to buy these engaging books for every preteen I know!
I am always impressed when someone comes up with a new way of introducing children to the Bible. And this book is very impressive, indeed. Filled with puzzles and challenges, it invites readers to explore the themes of Genesis, helps them to come to grips with some very sophisticated theological ideas, and equips them with the tools to understand the rest of the Bible, too.
