We parents and grandparents tend to do a decent job when it comes to teaching the "whats" - what the Bible says and therefore "what" we believe. But, we do not teach the "whys" - why we are able to believe God is real, the Bible is true, God and science DO go together, and God is good. When we do not teach the "whys" we open the door for someone to question what we believe and for the ones we love to turn away from their faith when they do not know the answers. We must teach the "whys" so they know the answers and are able to have a confident faith.
One of the ways we teach the "whats" is by using books at home which teach Bible accounts - we are able to teach the "whys" with books as well - there are not many out there, but there are some . . . such as the Life on the Goldilocks Planet books! In these books you will be able to help the children you love learn about interesting animals, enjoy fun activities with them, learn some science through quotes from scientists, and engage them in important conversations which tie it all together and help them end up with a confident faith. For example in Jaguars, Lilac-Breasted Rollers, Nautiluses & More! you will learn about Jaguars, Satanic Leaf-Tailed Geckos, Fairy Penguins, Bison, Bilbies, Lilac-Breasted Rollers, Asian Tapirs, Sea Pens, Coatimundis, Jabirus, Sloth Bears, & Nautiluses - which have you never heard of before?
Our world is filled with interesting and surprising animals - and when we learn about them we will find we are better able to understand how God is real and God and science DO go together! You will find all of the Life on the Goldilocks Planet books on Amazon and at this link. Please share this post with the parents and grandparents you know. (And the answer to the question is - Sloth Bears! You will find out about them - and Asian Tapirs and Coatimundis in Jaguars, Lilac-Breasted Rollers, Nautiluses & More!)
