Questions in Scripture: 52 Weeks of Faith-Building for Children

A calm, thoughtful workbook to help children understand what Christians believe — and why.

What this book is

Questions in Scripture is a year-long, spiral-bound workbook designed to guide children through the story of the Bible, one week at a time.

Each week is a single, carefully structured page that introduces:

• a short passage of Scripture

• a clear theme

• a thoughtful question

• three simple, age-appropriate explanations

• space for the child to write and respond

The aim is not to rush, overwhelm, or entertain — but to help children think, reflect, and build confidence in Christian belief.

What makes it different

This workbook is designed for families who want depth without pressure.

It avoids:

• noise and clutter

• over-simplification

• combative or argumentative language

Instead, it offers:

• calm explanations

• clear reasoning

• gentle connections between Scripture, the world, and everyday life

Over 52 weeks, children are gradually introduced to the big ideas of the Christian faith through the Bible itself — from creation to new creation — learning not just what Christians believe, but why those beliefs make sense.

What a typical week looks like

Each weekly page includes:

• Scripture reference

• Theme

• A guiding question

• Three short explanations, written in simple language

• Why this matters (one clear sentence)

• Your turn — space to write, explain, and reflect

The structure stays the same every week, helping children feel secure and confident as they progress.

Who this book is for

This book is particularly suited to:

• Christian families

• Homeschooling families

• SEND learners who benefit from structure and clarity

• Children who ask thoughtful questions

• Parents who want a gentle but serious approach to faith formation

Recommended age range: approximately 9–13, though many families may choose to adapt it for younger or older children.

How it’s designed to be used

• One page per week

• Used slowly, over a full year

• Written responses can be as short or as detailed as the child wishes

• Can be used independently or alongside a parent

The spiral binding allows the book to lie flat for writing, and the uncluttered layout is designed to reduce distraction and cognitive overload.

A quiet note to parents

Many children today encounter big questions about faith earlier than we expect. This workbook is written to meet those questions with calmness, clarity, and confidence — trusting that children are capable of serious thought when given the space to do so.
