It pauses for fun from time to time, or adds a biography of a key Christian figure. Rather, it circles back to important subjects, advancing them incrementally each time. Yet it doesn’t progress in a completely linear way. From there it turns to the Christian life, sin, obedience, creation, and so on. It begins with a couple of chapters on the Bible, then advances to God and the gospel. The book is comprised of 67 short chapters that together span about 250 pages. By all of those definitions it’s radical. Third, it offers some radical (“excellent, cool”) fun-creating pottery, locating stars, and even building slingshots and catapults. Second, the word means “extreme” or “drastic,” and the book teaches “about following Jesus and standing for him in the storms of life” while also teaching about some people who did that. Radical first meant “going to the root” and this book goes to the very roots of the Christian faith. Second, it’s a book that is radical according to a few different meanings of the word. Parents or teachers might also find it a helpful resource, but primarily it’s for children to read to themselves. So what is The Radical Book for Kids? First, it is a book for children to read on their own, with kids between the ages of 8 and 14 as the target audience. If this book makes our children more curious and thirsty to know God and the good news of his Word, then it will have done its job.” More than this, I hope it will also encourage young readers to keep on learning about his Word, his gospel, his church, and life in his world. Thornton, father to three young children, says, “It’s my prayer that this book will be used by God to grow deep roots of faith in the children who read it. (Props to Tim Green for the excellent cover design and Scot McDonald for the interior work.) Best of all, that good looking interior and exterior complements the interesting, important content. In fact, I think it’s one of the best-looking kids’ books I’ve seen in a long time. It isn’t surprising, though, because Champ Thornton’s The Radical Book for Kids is eye-catching inside and out.
