Children ask such questions as, "How do I know the Bible is true?" "What does it mean when the Bible talks about the kingdom of God?" "How can God be three persons at the same time?" "Why couldn't Jesus just stay on Earth forever?" "What is baptism?" "Who invented time?"
Bible Gateway interviewed Kathryn Slattery about her book, 365 Bible Answers for Curious Kids. |

Thomas Keller, one of my favorite chefs, has a way of thinking about recipes that I just love. He says the first time you use a recipe, do it exactly as written. Follow every direction, every measurement. That way, you taste what the recipe writer or the chef had in mind exactly. Then the next time, you rewrite the recipe in your own words as simply as possible—you're moving from their language to your language. Once you've rewritten the recipe your way, make the dish according to your new recipe. The third time, make it only from memory, and make at least one change—switch out a vegetable, change a spice—something to make it different from the original. Keller says that after you've made it for the third time, the recipe is yours. You've internalized it. It's not a recipe in a cookbook; it's in you, it's part of you. |

There have been four relentless years of drought, and children are starving. East Africa faces a bread shortage and child malnutrition rates are soaring in Somalia. Christian humanitarian organization, World Concern, is urgently providing needed food, water, and emergency supplies to families in need. Partner with World Concern to help get emergency nutrition packs (a peanut paste fortified with nutrients) and water to these children who need it most. Every $12 feeds a child for a month. Give through the link. |

On Monday, August 21, the sun went dark for a few remarkable minutes—and people around the world looked to the Bible to find out what it might mean. Given the rarity and spectacular nature of total solar eclipses, it's no surprise that people throughout history have wondered if eclipses held theological significance—and so it seems quite appropriate that people turned to the Bible for an explanation, as they did two years ago during a much-discussed lunar eclipse. |
