What Is the Trinity?

By Michael Whitworth

Ask a room full of kids to explain the Trinity and you will get a long silence, a few nervous guesses, and maybe a drawing of an egg. It is the truth at the very center of the Christian faith, the one every prayer and every baptism is built on, and it is also the one most young Christians are quietly afraid of. What Is the Trinity? was written to change that.

Working straight from Scripture, this volume walks readers down the same road the Bible walks. There is only one God. The Father is God. The Son is God. The Spirit is God. They are not three Gods, and they are not one God wearing three costumes. They are the one God who has always lived as three persons, full of love, with a door standing open. Each chapter opens with a story readers already love, from Indiana Jones to Pinocchio to a small bear at a train station, and uses it to make a deep truth land in a way they will not forget.

Inside this volume:

A clear, faithful path through the Bible's teaching on God as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, written in plain language with no jargon and no shortcuts.A tour of the famous wrong turns, from the masks to the slices to treating the Spirit like a force, so readers can recognize and answer them.Four takeaways and five discussion questions in every chapter, ready for personal study, family devotions, or a class.

More than a doctrine to defend, the Trinity turns out to be the reason a young person can rest. Because God has always been three persons loving one another, he never made anyone out of need, only out of fullness. Because there is one God, the whole of God is for them. And because the Son opened the door and the Spirit moved in, they are not spectators of God's love but members of his family. WHAT IS THE TRINITY? helps them see all of it.

In the same style of the Kids' Guides to God's Word Series that take young readers through Scripture one book and one big idea at a time, WHAT IS THE TRINITY? is a trustworthy, warm, and genuinely understandable guide to the truth at the heart of everything. It is the book you wish someone had handed you.
