Written Especially for Ages 8–14, This Devotional Explains the Origins of the Bible, How to Study Scripture, and Why God’s Word Is Trustworthy
Everyone has questions about religion, but when you’re young, finding the answers can be difficult. Some books are too complex, and others don’t dive deeply enough into the faith topics that matter most to kids and younger teens. So where can young readers go to grow in their understanding of God and his word?
The 10 Questions series invites children ages 8–14 to investigate spiritual questions and provides reliable theological and practical answers on their level. In this volume, Todd R. Chipman explores questions including How did we get the Bible?, How should the Bible be read?, and How do I know I can trust the Bible?
Each 10 Questions book presents 10 vital questions about one important topic, exploring each question in 3 short devotions. Kids can work through the 30 readings in any order they choose. Written to be read alone or with family, 10 Questions About the Bible is the perfect way for middle-grade readers to start or end each day reflecting on the things of God.
- Faith-Building Devotional for Kids and Teens: With 30 devotional readings, prayers, and reflection questions, this book makes a great supplement to regular Bible study

“What do you get when you cross a father’s tender heart, a pastor’s holistic vision, and a theologian’s precision? You get Todd Chipman’s 10 Questions About the Bible! Chipman knows the Bible, knows Christian theology, and most impressively, knows how kids think. This book aims boldly at kids, teens, and families, and—I experienced this firsthand while reading it to my children—Chipman hits all three marks at once with a book that is understandable, apologetic, and deep.”
Matthew E. Swale, Assistant Professor of Bible and Church Ministry, Warner University; author, Scripture’s Use of Scripture in the Old Testament
“10 Questions About the Bible is a go-to resource for the most important questions we all have about the Bible. Chipman’s conversational and friendly style makes this book a great devotional for young readers. At the same time, the way he organizes the answers to each question provides the perfect guide for parents and student ministry leaders seeking to strengthen the next generation’s confidence in God’s written word. And behind all of this is Chipman’s depth of theological insight, which is unique and invaluable in a book written for the next generation. I recommend this book for every kid and student seeking to know more about the Bible.”
