Devon and Jessica Robyn Provencher have written and illustrated
board books to introduce theology to children up to age three (or maybe a
little older).
One
book is titled The Gospel.
Using
colorful pictures (there are pictures of Jesus for those who have scruples) and
succinct text, the child is introduced to why the Gospel is necessary and what
the Gospel is.
God
created everything. Humans are in the Image of God. Humans engaged in
rebellion. That requires punishment. Jesus is God’s Son. Jesus is perfect man.
Jesus was sacrificed. Resurrection. A response in called for. Then eternal life.
After
each word is highlighted with a two-page picture, there is a sentence
explanation, beginning to fill out what exactly is being taught.
This
is a wonderful series. Orthodox and well-worded. This is a very approachable
way to introduce theology to very young children.
I
have a niece who is turning three in August, and I have bought a set of books
for her.
