great living history book

What Was the Tabernacle? explains why God set it up for His people 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!

Designed for Kids to Understand

One of the MANY things I love about Danika Cooley’s book What Was the Tabernacle is that it doesn’t start with a deep dive into the tabernacle itself. It starts with Who God is, who we are, and why we need God to provide the way for us to be together. It shows how God’s desire has always been to be with His people, but because of our rebellion against Him, we need a way to be forgiven of our sin so we can be with Him again. Danika’s book shows how God gave us shadows in the Old Testament, such as through the sacrifices and the Tabernacle, of what He was ultimately going to do through the death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ. And Danika does it all in an engaging way that is perfectly designed for kids to understand and relate to. I highly recommend this book to anyone who has kids or works with them. It’s an excellent tool for helping them grow in their understanding of and their relationship with God.
