In this episode of Home School Minnesota, host Dayle Annand speaks with Dr. Joe Allen about his series of children's books, 'Big Thoughts for Little Thinkers.' They discuss the importance of solid biblical teaching for children, the challenges of writing theological concepts for young audiences, and the new additions to the series that cover Jesus, the Church, and Heaven. Dr. Allen shares insights on how to engage children with deep theological truths while respecting their understanding, and the significance of grounding them in faith from an early age.
