Before You Choose

Which book should we start with?

God’s Good World begins the Genesis story. The collection continues in reading order, with three-book groups marking parts of the journey.

Is this a three-book set?

Each volume is purchased separately. The three-book groups guide your reading; they are not boxed sets or discounted bundles.

What ages are these books for?

Children ages 5–8 with a grown-up. Adults can read aloud and help with activities and difficult passages.

Which Bible translation is used?

Scripture quotations use the World English Bible, Classic edition. The Ancient Table’s stories and explanatory notes are separate from the quoted Scripture.

What should we color with?

Use crayons or colored pencils. Both sides of the pages contain content, so markers may show through.

Where do we purchase?

Available editions link to Amazon, which handles checkout, delivery and returns. Each edition has its own Amazon purchase link.
