Another wonderful book from Danika! She has a great writing style that makes it easy to read and understand the concepts! Love this book for kids of all ages! I love that she includes Bible verses and shows how it relates to our lives. The drawings are a wonderful addition as well! I would highly recommend this!

This is what I love – Danika does not just present isolated Bible stories but shows how the Old Testament points to Christ. If you want a Gospel–centered resource, you will love these books.

Kids can learn about the Exodus of the Israelites in Danika Cooley’s newest three books in her Who, What, Why Series. Who was Moses?, What was the Tabernacle?, and Why Did the Exodus Happen? Are easy to understand and perfect for children to learn more about God through the stories of His people and the Bible.

Danika uses the English Standard Version Bible to quote verses and she does an excellent job pointing kids to Jesus and His sacrifice for us with each book topic.

Each book has approximately 90 pages. There’s no assigned number of pages for your child to read every day, so you and your child can take each book at his/her own pace. There are plenty of black and white pictures that go along well with each topic.

I love the free downloadable and printable lapbook elements that you can get for each book. They make the information really stick while the child does their hands–on activities. These lapbooks will be treasures for your child to look at in the future.

I highly recommend Danika Cooley’s Who, What, Why: Exodus series to any Christian family that wants their children to learn more about the Exodus, and also to any children church or Sunday school teacher who needs a quick lesson and project.

Engaging, accurate, and compelling, Danika does a beautiful job weaving stories of the Old Testament with Gospel truths found in the New Testament.

The Who What Why series by Danika Cooley teaches your children … the most important truth we can ever learn in life: who God is. As parents and grandparents we can have no greater joy than seeing our children walk in the truth that comes from knowing God. I highly recommend this excellent series.

Why Did the Exodus Happen? shares the story of God’s faithfulness and an inside look into the Biblical Exodus with plain language / easy–to–understand narrative. This book is written for children, but without dumbing it down. It is informative and exciting. It is a great read–aloud book for the entire family. I love the timeline at the end to help us understand the story better. This is exactly what I look for when adding “living history” books to our library! I own the entire series and recommend them all! The illustrations are great, too!

Why Did the Exodus Happen? is not just the normal telling of the story of Moses, Pharaoh and the ten plagues. The author has organized the chapters by attributes of God (ie: sovereign, with us, all–powerful, holy). I’m thrilled to have a resource that goes so much deeper than the typical surface level teachings. Scripture quoted throughout is from both old and new testaments, helping my kids continue to grow in their understanding of how all is connected and pointing to Christ.

I just got done speaking at the MN Homeschool Mom Retreat about three things you should do to raise your children in the ways of the Lord and each of these books cover each of the points I made.

1. Exodus: Teach your children who God is. He is the faithful one who delivers His people. You can’t trust someone you don’t know and if your want your children to trust in the Lord then they have to know who he is. He is revealed throughout the story of the Exodus.

2. Moses: Share your testimony. Through Moses’ story we see how God prepared him to participate in His story. Use your story to show your kids that God is still relevant and active today. I think the way Who Was Moses was written can help others develop their personal testimony and see how God can use all things.

3. Tabernacle: Always point to Jesus. Ultimately Moses couldn’t save the people. The judges and kings couldn’t save the people. Not even the law could save the people in the way they really needed, in the ways we really need saving. Only the perfect, spotless, lamb of God could do that. He is the Way! He cleared the path where no veil separates us from God.

In my opinion these books are a must own! Don’t put them on your wish list…put them in your cart and hit “purchase” because they are worth it!

Have you ever made a promise you failed to keep? Has anyone ever broken their promise to you? Danika Cooley’s book Why Did the Exodus Happen? highlights an important truth – God never breaks His promises. Not a single one. It highlights God’s faithfulness throughout a difficult time in His people’s history. It also shows how God used the Exodus to show people Who He is. He demonstrated His faithfulness, power, sovereignty, patience, love and care, and so much more through the events that transpired. And He demonstrated through Passover His desire to save and rescue us. The sacrifice He commanded then foreshadowed the ultimate sacrifice Jesus would later make once and for all time. This is an incredible book for helping kids learn about God’s faithfulness and His desire to save and rescue all people from their sin so they can live with Him forever.
