Review
“Simple words. Deep truth. Beautifully illustrated. The For the Bible Tells Me So board books provide families with a fantastic resource their little ones are sure to love. Kristen Wetherell’s poetic truths are perfectly paired with Grace Habib’s soft and colorful illustrations. I’ll be reading these to my grandkids.”
―Marty Machowski, Executive Pastor, Covenant Fellowship Church, Glen Mills, Pennsylvania; author, The Ology and The Redemption Tales
“For the Bible Tells Me So is a beautiful set of books rich in biblical truths. Each one reinforces those truths through rhyme and story concepts that will give our little ones a strong foundation for their faith. Through repetition of concepts, Kristen Wetherell provides parents with amazing prompts to enter into sweet conversations with their children and to help them understand their value to our loving, wonderful God. Those same concepts serve as reminders to the parents as well. These books will be a wonderful addition to any home or church library.”
―Leslie Nunnery, Cofounder, Teach Them Diligently; author, Teach Them Diligently and Heart School
“These playful board books are a great resource for training and discipling young children. In them, you’ll find precious truths about God that families can reflect upon and rejoice in as they read together.”
―Hunter Beless, author; Founder, Journeywomen Ministries
“Parents are our children’s first theology teachers. Our home is a school; the world is our classroom. Kristen Wetherell has given us these precious board books to help us with our most important task as parents: introducing our children to our Almighty God! This series captures imagination, cultivates a love for books, and nurtures a sense of wonder in our littlest readers.”
―Irene Sun, author, God Counts: Numbers in His Word and His World

About the author

"Writing is a God-given means to teach truth from the Bible and to apply the wonderful gospel to all areas of life. The greatest Story ever told is the one about Jesus Christ."
Kristen's desire is to help women love Christ, learn the Bible, and live in light of the gospel. And not only women, but any person who wants to know more about how the gospel applies to everything. Her years of walking through chronic pain and Lyme disease especially inform her writing, as seen in her award-winning, bestselling book, "Hope When It Hurts: Biblical Reflections to Help You Grasp God's Purpose in Your Suffering" (The Good Book Company, April 2017).
Kristen and her pastor-husband, Brad, live in Chicagoland with their three kids and are members at The Orchard. In addition to teaching at her church, Kristen speaks at conferences and retreats and regularly writes for The Gospel Coalition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Powerful book God came near to me🌅
Verified PurchasePowerful book conveys God came near to me a bonus to the other 3 books in the series get them all God sees, speaks, rescues. Kids want you to read it over & over. God will enter the room when you read it.
- Emily Y.Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2025
5.0 out of 5 stars Biblically Faithful, Accessible for kids
Verified PurchaseWe love this series and the big truths and doctrines they teach in ways that are accessible, understandable and applicable to young children. The mirror at the end is always a hit and a fun additional feature. They are biblically faithful and is one of the best series I’ve personally found in introducing key doctrines to young children.
However, They do have pictures of Jesus in them which I know will make some uncomfortable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Gospel presentation. Captivating for toddler.
Verified PurchaseI got this book as a recommendation from 鶹. The first time I read it, I actually got choked up. It beautifully encapsulates the person of Jesus as man, like one of us (he had eyes and ears) and how he used his body to obey God and meet other’s needs. It ends with how his body is in heaven interceding for us and how one day he’ll return!
- Joanna IntagliataReviewed in the United States on May 13, 2024
