"Let's read the Acrostic of God together
to help you to make him your awesome treasure.
We'll read it, rap it, or sing it it's fun!
Till Jesus comes back and his kingdom has come. . .
He's the Alpha and Omega, from A to Z;
his beauty and his glory we were made to see."
Catechism can be fun! The Acrostic of God is a joy to read and reread, and a wonderful tool to help kids absorb eternal truth about God.
By giving children an alphabetical list of the titles and attributes of God written with a rhyming beat, Jonathan Gibson and Timothy Brindle make The Acrostic of God fun to read and easy to memorize. Each characteristic, A to Z, weaves together a beautiful picture of God.
Using the alphabet to teach about God has a rich history in the Bible, especially in the Psalms and Lamentations. Several of the psalms notably Psalm 119 begin with letters of the Hebrew alphabet, forming an acrostic that spells out the entire alphabet.
The authors make learning theology fun and effortless. Their book shows God as he is, not "just to know about him more in our brains, but to know him as the God of glory who reigns."
Illustrated by C. S. Fritz, The Acrostic of God is the first in the Acrostic Theology for Kids series that introduces children ages five to eleven to systematic theology uniquely on their age level.
Readers will find a QR code in the back of The Acrostic of God that they can scan to listen to the audio version of the book which Timothy Brindle reads in rap style.
In coordination with the release of the book, Timothy Brindle has released The Acrostic of God: Rap Album with songs based on the content of the book. The album is available for purchase at timothybrindleministries.com in both MP3 and CD formats.
“Whoever said solid theology is only for adults neither understands children nor theology! This wonderful series persuasively speaks deep truth to children and grown-ups in an imaginative, memorable way. It will revolutionize the way they learn the things that most matter in life.”
William Edgar, Professor of Apologetics, Westminster Theological Seminary, Philadelphia; jazz musician

“The Acrostic of God is a theologically rich, wonderfully creative, and highly flexible catechetical resource. Having used it with my own family, I can attest that it is fun to use, simple to memorize, and provides easy prompts for discussion. With this book, Gibson and Brindle have given us a real gift which stands in the catechetical tradition of the Christian church and shares the same aim: to exercise minds and incline hearts toward the knowledge and love of our triune God.”
Mark Earngey, Head of Church History, Moore Theological College, Sydney

“The Acrostic of God is a fantastic resource for parents to teach their children the truth about who God is. The book is attractively illustrated and the rhyming verses and accompanying audio resource will help to impress these truths upon young hearts and minds. We will enjoy reading this book to our children to help them grow in the knowledge of God.”
Andy Hambleton, Minister of Crumlin Evangelical Presbyterian Church, Northern Ireland
“Every Christian parent as well as pastors and leaders of Christ’s Church are always in need of Biblically faithful and effective instruments to assist in communicating the Gospel clearly to the “lambs” in the flock. This volume fulfills that desire beyond expectation with its effective teaching style, as well as interest attracting presentation, while communicating the life-changing power of the Gospel and call to Christ allowing children ‘to come unto Him.’”
