The Bible. You've heard of it, yes? Maybe something about David and Goliath or Noah’s ark, or a baby in a manger? What if I told you there was tons of stuff in the Bible that you’ve never heard about? Things like talking donkeys, self-conscious magicians, and kings who think they’re cows. The Bible is a curious book full of deeply flawed people and a God who refuses to give up on them. Don’t believe me? Look for yourself. In these 60 devotions, we examine these unique stories, the circumstances and biblical truth around them, and what they reveal about the heart of God.

"Written with verve and a healthy dollop of humor, Toying with God examines the sometimes zany world of religious games and dolls, from pre-history to today. Packed with examples that add immeasurably to readers' knowledge of religious trivia, this entertaining romp is an insightful reflection upon one of the more curious intersections of popular culture and spirituality. Have we humans blended fun with spirituality for good or for ill? And what does all of this say about our insatiable need for entertainment?" --Book Jacket.

The "tween" years can be a scary and complicated time in a child's life. Dealing with rising expectations, peer pressure and discovering one's self can be overwhelming. These 46 games will engage and reinforce important Christian values and lessons in a fun and playful way. Each game corresponds with a Bible story or situation so that the children are not only listening to the stories, but engaging in an activity that utilizes other senses to create a fun and multi-faceted learning experience! Studies have shown that game play is one of the most effective teaching tools for keeping children's attention. These games are perfect for 8-12 year olds, but can easily be adapted for other ages. The activities are designed to be played after reading the related Bible story. For example, after the story of Samson and Delilah is read, play 'The Good Apple/Bad Apple Game' to illustrate how easily negative influences can affect us and how to resist peer pressure. Recite the bolded teaching script to make connections between the Bible story, the game and real-life situations. Use the discussion questions to encourage deeper personal connections and understanding of the lesson. Finally, the related bible verses found at the end of each game have been carefully chosen to reinforce the learning concept from another section of the Bible and encourage further reading. Thankfulness, patience, teamwork, persistence, obedience, honor, respect and truthfulness are just a few of the topics addressed throughout these lessons. Overall the emphasis is on the vastness of God's love for us so dig into His word and have fun!

Since Bible verses are always being taken out of context, why not make a game of it? This hilarious card game of creating your own unexpected combinations is perfect for families, friends, and small groups--ages 12 and up! An excuse I would use to get out of going somewhere... I am very old. Joshua 23:2 My breath is offensive. Job 19:17 My back is filled with searing pain; there is no health in my body. Psalm 38:7 With 70 prompts and 165 Bible verses spread out across 200 cards, The Bible Is Funny Card Game invites players with an abundance of Bible knowledge as well as those with no prior Bible experience to match out-of-context biblical verses with prompts about everyday situations to win the funniest pairing. The verse cards in the deck feature obscure, ludicrous, or downright outrageous Bible verses pulled completely out of their original context. The prompt cards offer fun, contemporary situations into which those Bible verses can be inserted, with topics ranging from family dynamics and dating to popular culture and the workplace. Players can cast lots or go with the Noah (most pets) or Sarah (best laugh) rules to decide who will be the Theologian first, and then begin the battle to see who will earn the most "Treasures in Heaven" (points). From the creator of The Bible Is Funny podcast and Instagram and suited for Bible enthusiasts and novices alike, this card game will ensure that you never look at an out-of-context Bible verse the same way again!
