Description
Best-selling author Marty Machowski takes young readers on an exciting biblical voyage to discover the treasure of God's love revealed in Luke's letters to Theophilus in Luke and Acts.
In the tradition of his well-loved bestsellers The Ology and WonderFull, Machowski weaves a study of the Bible with a fictional story. The Treasure follows the adventures of Mira and Theos who discover a sea captain's personal journal which offers clues to a hidden treasure. They can only solve the riddle of the treasure by studying two ancient scrolls, the Gospel of Luke and the Book of Acts. Young readers will journey with the siblings as they solve their puzzle and discover the captain's treasure in Christ!
While these New Testament books are often thought of as two separate books telling different stories, they are really two halves of one greater story recorded by Luke. Through Luke's retelling of Jesus's work on earth and the Spirit's work in growing the church, we see the Father's love on full display. The Treasure will help children grow in their knowledge and love of God.
- Vivid, full-color illustrations by Flavia Sorrentino.
- Written for elementary age and includes a study guide that can also be used with older children.
- Encourages families to study the Bible together and develop regular family devotions.

"In The Treasure, Marty Machowski takes his young readers on an engaging guided tour through the books of Luke and Acts.

"Drawing young people into the Bible is a challenge for parents these days, but The Treasure does this effectively. It tells the story of Luke and Acts in ways young people can follow. This book will not only introduce your children to Luke and Acts in an attractive way but will also prove useful for engaging family devotionals."
