"If you've ever wondered how the Bible fits together as one big, beautiful story, then Kaleidoscope is for you. By setting each book of the Bible in the context of the whole story, we're better able to see that God is on a glorious mission, from Genesis to Revelation, to rescue His children from sin and death and dwell with them forever. But this great rescue isn't just for us to read about - we're invited to play a part! Through this series, your kids will better understand God, His word, and His purposes for them."
- Courtney Doctor, Coordinator of Women's Initiatives, The Gospel Coalition, Author of From Garden to Glory: A Bible Study on the Bible's Story and Steadfast: a Devotional Bible Study on the Book of James
"If we are going to be faithful in making disciples of the next generation, the church desperately needs resources like Kaleidoscope, where children of all ages can begin to understand the gospel story of the Bible as it is woven through every page. I can't recommend this resource enough!"

What an awesome depiction of Matthew! Your books are a great “level up” for my growing girls from the storybook bible we used when they were little.
My Son (age 7) and I read a chapter overnight before bed. He actually requests it as his bedtime story. We have loved everything that we have ordered from Kaleidoscope. (Yoto cards, mystery bundle, Living Water, Good News journal, and the Gentle King)
I am currently working through Living Water with an after school program for 2nd-5th graders. Sparks a lot of questions and it easy to understand for students who have not read the Bible before. Thank you for these resources!
Another great book of the break down of Matthew - thanks for helping me point my kids to Jesus!
We’ve been reading through our books and just finished out OT books. Excited to receive this and start our NT journey with kaleidoscope
Thank you Kaleidoscope for creating these bible resources for the kids.
