Review: Atom & Iota Series

Atom & Iota Series book covers on blue background

I am in such awe of the time and dedication that authors take to produce engaging and informative children's books. Ryan and Selena Frederick are parents and writers who have created the brilliant Atom & Iota series and it's an outstanding collection of books that desires to introduce children to the "wonder of God—through story." If you have the opportunity to read these books to your little ones or to pass them along, it's a wonderful way to learn about science and God at the same time.

Many thanks to Theology Kids and ICON Media Group for providing a complimentary copy of this collection for review consideration. All opinions are my own.

Book Synopsis

Atom & Iota is new series for children with a simple goal—to make theology approachable, visual and deeply rooted in Scriptural truth, even for the youngest of minds. Atom & Iota are tiny characters with a big mission to help kids see God’s care in everything He made. Specifically designed for children ages 4-8, this series features captivating stories, based on science and Scripture, with stunning line art illustrations to reveal the magnificence and majesty of creation and the care and nature of God.

Book Thoughts

If this book series existed when I was a child, I guarantee that it would have been one of my favourites to read. From engaging illustrations to memorable rhymes, this series on understanding God as our Creator is as educational as it is fun. I love the premise behind Theology Kids in helping children understand the world that God has made and how we can know Him personally. If you're wondering about the name of the series, Atom represents the smallest unit of matter—symbolizing creation, and Iota represents the smallest unit of thought—symbolizing the Gospel. As a result, Atom and Iota are the perfect blend of science and faith, with the authors showing us how these two fields are compatible and pointing us to the Author of life and creation.

Parents will love the prompts at the end of the book, including Bible verses for memorization, science activities that can be undertaken, and discussion questions to further interact with the book. In explaining different scientific concepts and how they relate to Jesus, these are catchy books that are sure to become a beloved series as they explore topics such as DNA, conception, and the bloodstream. Seeing these subjects covered in such a detailed manner with the most adorable and fact-filled illustrations, children can also take part in these lessons through an equally delightful colouring book. Families wanting a creative way to discuss how God reveals himself through nature and through His Son will find Atom & Iota to be incredible tour guides who seek to impart knowledge and truth.

Review: The Good Gift of Weakness

I am so glad that the author reached out to me about  The Good Gift of Weakness: God's Strength Made Perfect in the Story of Redemption  as it was exactly the book that I needed to read in this season of my life. Many thanks to Harvest House Publishers and Eric Schumacher  for providing a complimentary copy of this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own. Book Synopsis This overview of the theme of weakness in the Bible offers readers practical encouragement and hope as they learn to view their frailties as part of God’s plan and purpose for their lives. Our culture deifies strength―and sadly, the church does too. Who has the most successful ministry, the largest congregation, or the godliest family? Our misplaced faith in human strength is a false hope with no basis in Scripture. But a closer look throughout the Bible reveals the central role human frailty plays in the redemption story. From Genesis to Revelation, God’s power is made perfect when peo...

Review: The Biblio Diet

Over the years, I've had the joy of reading many books on health and nutrition, partly a product of some studies I've done on it and also due to personal interest.
