The Acrostic of God is a fun, memorable, and theologically rich introduction to who God is—designed especially for kids.
Through engaging rhymes and creative illustrations, this alphabet book introduces children to the titles and attributes of God from A to Z, helping them see his beauty and glory. Jonathan Gibson and Timothy Brindle use poetic rhythm and biblical truth to make deep concepts accessible and unforgettable for young readers.
Drawing on the biblical tradition of acrostic poetry found in books like Psalms and Lamentations, this book invites children not only to learn about God but to delight in him. With vivid illustrations by C. S. Fritz and a companion rap album and audiobook, The Acrostic of God makes theology both joyful and unforgettable for ages five to eleven.
"Whoever said solid theology is only for adults neither understands children nor theology! This wonderful series persuasively speaks deep truth to children and grown-ups in an imaginative, memorable way. It will revolutionize the way they learn the things that most matter in life."
William Edgar, Professor of Apologetics, Westminster Theological Seminary, Philadelphia; jazz musician

Having used it with my own family, I can attest that it is fun to use, simple to memorize, and provides easy prompts for discussion.

Andy Hambleton, Minister of Crumlin Evangelical Presbyterian Church, Northern Ireland
"Every Christian parent as well as pastors and leaders of Christ's Church are always in need of Biblically faithful and effective instruments to assist in communicating the Gospel clearly to the "lambs" in the flock. This volume fulfills that desire beyond expectation with its effective teaching style, as well as interest attracting presentation, while communicating the life-changing power of the Gospel and call to Christ allowing children 'to come unto Him.'"

Jonathan Gibson and Timothy Brindle have combined their talents to write acrostic verses that will teach children more about God. The authors help to explain difficult words like almighty, compassionate, and omnipresent. They also look at some easier words like King, father, and blessed as they relate to God. Each two-page spread contains a rhyming verse, a scripture passage and an illustration. Parents and teachers can use the verses and passages as part of their Bible lessons. C.S. Fritz illustrates each two-page spread with a monogram which in some way shows more about that concept about God. The Acrostic Theology for Kids series was inspired by John Calvin’s Catechism for the children of the Genevan Church (1537). The Acrostic of God would be a great resource for a K-12 Christian school library or a middle or upper elementary classroom.

The Acrostic Salvation is organized as an alphabet book and features words related to salvation. Each letter features a word or words coupled with scriptural references that support the text and a simple illustration. The book concludes with a basic truths section that include the Lord’s Prayer, the 10 Commandments, and the Apostles’ Creed. While this complimentary book was provided for review by New Growth Press, no other compensation was given. All remarks are my personal and honest opinions.
I read this with my 8 year old daughter and we loved it!

The Acrostic of God is a memorable read. Each page has a beautiful illustration, a short, rhyming paragraph about the attribute or characteristic of God, and a corresponding verse or two. This book isn’t quite what I was expecting, for a kids picture book. I have read a number of faith-based ABC books, but this one deals with really complex concepts, that you don’t really expect kids to even be aware of, and aren’t always the ‘standard ones’ you’d expect. But I think that’s okay, because kids can handle more than we give them credit for. And teaching them at least the concepts early means there is a good foundation to build on as they grow up. I believe this book will appeal especially to families who are following a classical educational style. Memorizing concepts and facts to build on for the future. Personally, my favorite page is O, for the omni-statements, simply defined, and practically applied, possibly better than I have ever heard. I received a digital copy from Read with Audra, and chose to review it here.
