Hope, Joy, and the Clues About God

By Casey Willis and Jordan Willis

Book Overview

When kids at school say believing in God is silly, eight-year-old twins Hope and Joy decide to find out for themselves.

With a little help from Mom and Dad and their loyal dog, Rufus, they start noticing clues everywhere, each one pointing to something bigger than themselves. And as the clues add up, they realize the truth: God is real.

Real reasons, sized for kids

At some point, your child will wonder, "Is God real?" This heartfelt chapter book, set in everyday life, gives children good reasons for their faith, the words to talk about it with confidence, and a foundation to build on as they grow. Help them know not just what they believe, but why.

Four clues, hidden in plain sight

Woven throughout the story, the first three are children's versions of the classic moral, cosmological, and design arguments for God, reasons inspired by great Christian thinkers like C. S. Lewis.
