Guess Who Is in God’s Family by Karen Ferguson is a beautiful story of a little girl, Lucy, with her Papa Joe talking about how God created us all in His image and how much He loves each one of us.
Karen weaves into this book the story of creation and the important message that even though we may have different skin colors or look different, we all come from the first family, Adam and Eve. And although sin entered the world through them, we all fail at times, but God has made a way for us to be forgiven and in relationship with Him through Jesus. This quote from the book says it well, “People may look different, come from different countries, and speak different languages, but we are all created in God’s image, and we all mess up. We struggle to obey God sometimes, but He never stops loving us.” In this day and age when racial tensions run high at times, this is a very needed message for our children to hear. I highly recommend Guess Who Is in God’s Family!

I am so happy to see Papa Joe and Lucy back with more lessons from God’s Word! Guess Who Is in God’s Family uncovers how it all began with the first family and the bite that changed everything. This book and the ones to come will be such useful tools in laying a foundation of truth for our children who, like Lucy, have so many questions!

The second installment of Karen Ferguson’s children’s book series is a delightful continuation of young Lucy’s journey through the Bible with her Papa Joe. Framing the lesson through natural curiosity, Papa Joe teaches Lucy about humanity’s first family. Pulling from Scripture while framing the story of Adam and Eve in kid-friendly language and including questions young children may very likely have, readers will learn along with Lucy that all people make mistakes; but, though mistakes have consequences, we will never do anything to stop being loved by God. In addition to teaching about God’s never-ending love, the picture book also introduces children to lessons on people being one family in Christ, the importance of listening to God, and that God has a plan for all of His children. With important vocabulary, comprehension questions, and a list of notable Bible verses, this book can be used again and again to help build literacy skills in addition to establishing foundations in Bible study with elementary students. Guess Who Is in God’s Family is an engaging, gospel-centered picture book that is a must-have for home, school, and church libraries!
