Cover of Hope, Joy, and the Clues About God: twin sisters and their dog on a sunlit path

For parents

Real reasons,sized for kids.

The classic arguments for God, brought to life in one heartfelt story.

Hope and Joy learn that big questions don’t always have easy answers, but that they can search for clues that point to the truth: in a playground argument, a line of falling dominoes, a bicycle chain, and a windy afternoon.

The first three clues are children’s versions of three common explanations for God from Christian apologetics: the moral, cosmological, and design arguments. The fourth answers the objection the book opens with — that you can’t believe in what you can’t see. Seven discussion questions take families deeper.

Hope, Joy, Mom and Dad talking around the dinner table, with Rufus lying at their feet
