The Acrostic of Jesus: A Rhyming Christology for Kids (An Acrostic Theology for Kids)
Acrostic of Jesus Audiobook
Let's read the acrostic of Jesus together
To help you to love him, so he is your treasure.
We'll read it, rap it, or sing it--it's fun!
Till Jesus comes back and his kingdom has come.
He's the Alpha and Omega, from A to Z;
We pray you see from this book, "Jesus came for me!"
The Acrostic of Jesus is fun to read over and over again, and a brilliant tool to help kids gain a greater understanding of Christ. Young readers will learn "Christology"--the study of Jesus. The more we learn about Jesus, the more reasons we have to love him!
By giving children an alphabetical list of the names and attributes of Jesus written with a rhyming beat, Jonathan Gibson and Timothy Brindle make The Acrostic of Jesus fun to read and simple to memorize. Each characteristic, A to Z, weaves together a beautiful picture of who Jesus is and why he came to earth.
Using the alphabet to teach about God has a rich history in the Bible, especially in the Psalms and Lamentations. Several of the psalms--notably Psalm 119--begin with letters of the Hebrew alphabet, forming an acrostic that spells out the entire alphabet.
The authors make learning Christology easy and enjoyable. Their book shows Jesus as he is, not "just to know about him more in our brains, but to know him as the God of glory who reigns."
Illustrated by C. S. Fritz, The Acrostic of Jesus is the second in the series, An Acrostic Theology for Kids, introducing children ages five to eleven to systematic theology uniquely on their age level.

Endorsements (${ productEndorsements.length })
“Whoever said solid theology is only for adults neither understands children nor theology! This wonderful series persuasively speaks deep truth to children and grown-ups in an imaginative, memorable way. It will revolutionize the way they learn the things that matter most in life.”
William Edgar
Professor of Apologetics, Westminster Theological Seminary, Philadelphia; jazz musician
“Biblical professor and parent, Jonny Gibson, and hip-hop artist and parent, Timothy Brindle, have crafted a readable and reliable series for basic Christian doctrines. We parents just might find ourselves discovering some new treasures along with our kids!”
Michael Horton
J. Gresham Machen Professor of Systematic Theology, Westminster Seminary, California
“The Acrostic Theology for Kids series is a fun and engaging way to introduce kids (and their parents!) to important Bible words and concepts!”
Nancy Guthrie
Author of What Every Child Should Know About Prayer
“Learning is helped by memory aids and using the alphabet in this way is especially great for kids. It helps them remember AND gives them a sense of accomplishment, since they already know the alphabet and can tie new ideas to it. Looking forward to hearing Timothy rap it!”
Elizabeth W. D. Groves
Lecturer in Biblical Hebrew, Westminster Seminary, Philadelphia; author; performer
“God has chosen to make use of rhyme to help his people better learn and remember his truth. In The Acrostic of Jesus: A Rhyming Christology for Kids, TimothyBrindle and Jonny Gibson have given parents and teachers a simple resource to assist children in learning the deep theological truths about Christ. Additionally, they have highlighted the importance of knowing the Lord's Prayer, the Ten Commandments, and the Apostle's Creed. This is a richly creative resource.”
Nick Batzig
Senior Pastor, Church Creek PCA, Charleston, SC; associate editor, Ligonier Ministries
“Every Christian parent as well as pastors and leaders of Christ’s Church are always in need of Biblically faithful and effective instruments to assist in communicating the Gospel clearly to the “lambs” in the flock. This volume fulfills that desire beyond expectation with its effective teaching style, as well as interest attracting presentation, while communicating the life-changing power of the Gospel and call to Christ allowing children ‘to come unto Him.’”
Harry L. Reeder III
Pastor Teacher, Briarwood Presbyterian Church, Birmingham, Alabama
