Kids, even you can learn soteriology!
Soteriology studies how God saves us
From the wrath of God and our sin that enslaves us.
So it's not just a bunch of big words for our head,
But how Christ took the curse we deserve when he bled.
The Acrostic of Salvation is a joy to read and recite. Young readers will learn "soteriology" the study of how God saves us.
Jonathan Gibson and Timothy Brindle present an alphabet of words related to salvation, written to a rhyming beat: A for adoption, B for baptism, C for communion, all the way to Z. All the words paint a detailed and varied portrait of what salvation through Jesus is all about.
Using the alphabet to teach about God has a rich history in the Bible, especially in the Psalms and Lamentations. Several of the psalms notably Psalm 119 begin with letters of the Hebrew alphabet, forming an acrostic that spells out the entire alphabet.
The authors make learning about soteriology memorable and fun. Their book shows "By faith, we're now connected to Jesus our treasure; Forgiven and changed in him, he keeps us forever."
Illustrated by C. S. Fritz, The Acrostic of Salvation is the third in the series, Acrostic Theology for Kids, introducing children ages five to eleven to systematic theology uniquely on their age level.

"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.'"
Harry L. Reeder III, Pastor Teacher, Briarwood Presbyterian Church, Birmingham, Alabama
"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 matter most in life."

"The Acrostic Theology for Kids series is a fun and engaging way to introduce kids (and their parents!) to important Bible words and concepts!"
Nancy Guthrie, Author of What Every Child Should Know About Prayer
"God has chosen to make use of rhyme in order to help His people better learn and remember His truth. TimothyBrindle and Jonny Gibson have given parents and teachers a simple resource to assist children in learning the deep theological truths about Christ. Additionally, they have highlighted the importance of knowing the Lord's Prayer, the Ten Commandments, and the Apostle's Creed. This is a richly creative resource."
Pastor Nick Batzig, Senior Pastor, Church Creek PCA in Charleston, SC and Associate Editor, Ligonier Ministries
"Learning is helped by memory aids and using the alphabet in this way is especially great for kids. It helps them remember AND gives them a sense of accomplishment, since they already know the alphabet and can tie new ideas to it. Looking forward to hearing Timothy rap it!"
