Written Especially for Ages 8–14, This Devotional Explains the Origins of the Bible, How to Study Scripture, and Why God’s Word Is Trustworthy

Everyone has questions about religion, but when you’re young, finding the answers can be difficult. Some books are too complex, and others don’t dive deeply enough into the faith topics that matter most to kids and younger teens. So where can young readers go to grow in their understanding of God and his word?

The 10 Questions series invites children ages 8–14 to investigate spiritual questions and provides reliable theological and practical answers on their level. In this volume, Todd R. Chipman explores questions including How did we get the Bible?, How should the Bible be read?, and How do I know I can trust the Bible?

Each 10 Questions book presents 10 vital questions about one important topic, exploring each question in 3 short devotions. Kids can work through the 30 readings in any order they choose. Written to be read alone or with family, 10 Questions About the Bible is the perfect way for middle-grade readers to start or end each day reflecting on the things of God.

• Faith-Building Devotional for Kids and Teens: With 30 devotional readings, prayers, and reflection questions, this book makes a great supplement to regular Bible study
• Comprehensive: The 10 questions range from the content of the Bible to the experience of living out your personal faith 
• Flexible: The 10 questions can be read in any order—alone or as a family 
• Part of the 10 Questions Series: Other volumes will cover topics including salvation, suffering, identity, and technology
