Say What?!

‘Say What!?’, written by Clare Luther, Published by ‘10 Of Those’ in Sept 2023:

‘Say What!? is a beautiful and engaging picture book that gives an overview of the gospel using rhymes, Scripture and prayer to show how the gospel truths connect to everyday life. “Say what?! Take a look! God writes his story in a book. Say what?! It is true! God knows all about me and you.” Deep truths are captivatingly shared with little hearts and minds in this joyful picture book that explains God’s story from creation to salvation. Find out who God is, how he wants us to live, the importance of the cross and more through rhyme, Bible text, prayers and engaging explanations. Great for discussing big questions with your kids!’
