About the series

A series that grows up with your child

Children don’t wait until they’re older to wonder about God, the world, and their place in it. Big Questions meets them right where they are, curled up beside you. The first books give little ones short, joyful answers and a verse to hold onto. The middle books stretch growing readers with the wonder of creation and the choices they make every day. The final four invite teens to think carefully about faith, culture and the legacy they want to leave, always pointing back to God’s Word.

  1. Ages 2–6Books 1–5A simple sentence, a big picture and a verse on every spread.
  2. Ages 6–12Books 6–8Longer passages on creation, purpose and everyday choices.
  3. Ages 13–16Books 9–12First-person reflections on faith, values and legacy.

Ages 2–6 · Book 1“Where does God live?”

God made everything in the beginning. God lives everywhere. We can see God’s work in the sky and on the earth.

“In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” Genesis 1:1
Ages 6–12 · Book 8“How can I choose right from wrong?”

Rules are important so people will do the right thing. God gives us His commandments because He loves us.

“For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments.” 1 John 5:3
Ages 13–16 · Book 12“What matters most?”

A principle is a truth I decide to live by, no matter what. For me, the most important principle is to love God and to love others.

“Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness.” Matthew 6:33

“I wrote these books so children could hear clear, loving answers to their biggest questions, straight from God’s Word.”

Phyllis Duke created Big Questions to give families, teachers and churches a simple way to open honest conversations about God, the world, and who children were made to be.

“Life’s principles, morals, and God’s love are shown in this book. This is what is needed for children today!”
Doris Humbert · Public school teacher, Minnesota
“Students need the solid foundation which this book helps to build in the hearts and minds of children.”
