Good News, The Story of Acts Chris Ammen

If you and your kids love a good action movie, then they will love this book! In it, kids will see the church grow like wildfire, and the gospel spread through the nations. You will read how Peter was delivered from prison by an angel, how Phillip just up and "disappeared" from a river, and how Paul was shipwrecked and bitten by a viper! But most of all, you will see God's great mission to build his church and spread the good news of salvation in Jesus--a mission he invites us to join.

Kaleidoscope fills the need our young readers have - to understand the Bible's own big, beautiful story and take it in as their own.

I personally can't wait to recount Paul's journey from beginning to end with my own children.

After 10 years as a children's pastor, Chris Ammen noticed a trend. His kids loved "little kid" Bibles like the The Jesus Storybook Bible until around 1st-2nd grade. Then, they were usually ready for more. The next best thing to give them was a "Children's Bible" which is usually the NIV or ESV text with colorful pictures around it. The problem is that the NIV and ESV are written at a high school level. So, his kids got frustrated with the Bible and grow out of the habit of reading it.

Out of this revelation, Kaleidoscope was borne. We are trying to change the game by giving elementary and middle school kids quality resources to bridge the gap. We are producing single-volumes for every book of the Bible, written at an elementary level.
