‘The Big Book of Questions and Answers about Jesus’ by Sinclair Ferguson

Children love to ask questions, and they often ask great ones! The Big Book of Questions and Answers about Jesus presents questions young ones often raise about Jesus’ life and ministry, and then provides the corresponding answers in language that children ages five to ten will easily understand and find relatable.

The Big Book of Questions and Answers is written by trusted Bible teacher and theologian Sinclair Ferguson and is designed to be a teaching book for adults to work through with a child, grandchild, or young friend. A colorful two-page spread is dedicated to each of the book’s thirty-four questions and answers and includes a story to read, a memory verse, and also a prayer to teach children to pray, what to pray for, and how to pray.

The questions in the book address a wide variety of topics, including what makes Jesus so special, why He told so many parables, and what His childhood was like. This theologically rich picture book also digs into questions like “Why did Jesus heal sick people?” “Why did Jesus have to die?” and “Is Jesus still dead?” Children will learn that they have a hope to look forward to in God’s eternal kingdom by exploring the answer to questions like “What is Jesus doing now?” and “How can I give my life for Jesus?”

The Big Book of Questions and Answers is an oversized hardcover book that includes drawing and craft suggestions as well as topical recommendations for deeper family discussion. The book is well-suited for exploring the answer to one question at a time each night before bedtime. You and a child in your life will benefit from many hours of meaningful Gospel conversation.
