The purpose of this series is to help learners dig deep into the Word to see what it says about children and childhood. But more importantly, this series seeks to create understanding of the worth and significance of children and their role in pointing to and illustrating Christ's "upside down" Kingdom. Some people have said that the Bible has little to say about children and childhood. But in fact, the Scriptures are full of references to children. The 6 booklets included in this series hold hundreds of verses relating to the child. Moreover, these studies show that children play a significant role in the unfolding of the message of the Bible-that God loves and protects them; that they are extremely perceptive in understanding the things of God; and that God often deploys them as His messengers and models. This series may be used for private study or as an instruction tool in studies and workshops in churches, amongst child care workers, or other settings. It is suitable for young adults and older (ages 18+) and is a downloadable book in PDF format.
