Entering the Gospel Through Story by Yongmoon Park

"If this is already God's kingdom, why do I still have to go to school tomorrow?"
"Why does it have to be the cross? Couldn't God simply say He forgives us?"
"Was the law given for us to keep, or to show us that we cannot keep it?"
"Why does the way Jesus lived become my righteousness?"
"So if I fail again, is that okay?"
"Mom, is the Holy Spirit a feeling?"

Children's questions may be short, but hidden within them are some of the deepest questions of the gospel. Entering the Gospel Through Story follows the everyday questions of Haon and Hayul and unfolds the seven pillars of the gospel—the kingdom of God, salvation, the law, righteousness, faith, sanctification, and the Holy Spirit—through story.

The questions arise from the real places where young people live: saying goodbye to a grandfather, school life, exams and friendships, the desire to be recognized, conflict, and the need to apologize. Rather than rushing to give easy answers, the family opens the Bible together and learns the gospel anew. When familiar words of faith meet the realities of a child's day, the gospel becomes not merely doctrine to memorize, but the Word of God that holds and guides life.

Written so that upper-elementary students through middle- and high-school youth can read it on their own, the book can also be read and discussed by parents and children together and used in family worship, Sunday school, youth groups, and small groups. Readers learn the gospel through questions and discover its answers within the story, making this a gospel storytelling book that helps the next generation embrace the gospel in the language of their own lives.
