God and Me: The First Story (Bible Study for Kids)

God and Me leads young readers on a Bible study of the first three chapters of Genesis that they can do all on their own.

What better way to encourage our children to love God’s Word than to provide them with a tool to study the Bible for themselves? Best-selling author Marty Machowski invites kids to engage God through a Bible study written just for them. Readers will explore their “first story,” from the beginning of Genesis, learning who God is, how they are made to reflect God, how the world got messed up, and how Jesus can restore them.

God and Me is written in an activity book format with a conversational tone. Each of the fifteen lessons invites children to explore the foundational stories of Genesis through activities, memorization, and personal applications. Readers are also invited to share what they have learned with their friends.

God and Me: The First Story–Genesis 1–3 is the first in the Bible Study for Kids series, engaging children ages 7–11 in an interactive Bible study on their level. Each study will ground children in Scripture and the gospel so that they can build their lives on Jesus and his Word.

• Includes an introduction to Bible facts and things to know about studying the Bible.
• Children will learn foundational truths, fostering a lifelong love for God and his Word.
• Teaches children to actively engage Scripture through four simple steps: Read, Think, Remember, and Follow.
