Bible stories with room for questions

A Surprising God retells Bible stories for children while giving adults a way to discuss passages that can seem puzzling or frightening. The collection presents the stories through a concern for children, people living in poverty, and underdogs, reflecting its view of whom God loves. Introductions to each story provide context for parents and teachers, while an appendix called the “Storyteller’s Toolkit” offers help with reading the stories aloud and discussing their meaning. That combination makes the adult guidance part of the book’s design, not just an addition to the stories.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children exploring Bible stories with an adult
  • Parents reading and discussing Bible stories with children
  • Teachers seeking story introductions and discussion support

Book overview

A Surprising God is much more than just another collection of Bible stories for children. A Surprising God relies on up-to-date knowledge to make sense of enthralling, but often perplexing and frightening bible stories. A Surprising God is an adventure in storytelling that recaptures stories first told by people just like ourselves. Their stories help us understand that God loves children, the poor and the underdogs. That is the reason for telling these stories once again. A Surprising God is written for kids and also for their parents and teachers. Parents will especially appreciate the introductions to each story, and they will find that a "Storyteller's Toolkit" in the appendix helps them read the Bible stories to their children with understanding and meaning. A Surprising God is Bible stories for children and adults, for questioners of all ages.
