Christian History Matters for Our Kids.
History matters. Now, more than ever, we see how important it is for our children to know and understand history and the Bible.
Here's why:
- God is the sovereign ruler of all things. It's important for our kids to see his hand in the history of nations and in the lives of both peasants and kings.
- Christian history is the story of our family history. Our kids get to see how people who love Jesus follow him.
- Understanding history can help our kids learn historic and biblical theology. They learn what the Bible says and what that means for us. They also see when the study of Scripture has taken important turns that have changed the Church.
- Reading Christian biographies and history can be a wonderful way for kids to think outside their own time and culture. God's Church spans centuries and includes people from every nation.
- Christian biographies help kids consider their own faith, walk with Jesus, and the impact their witness may one day have on others--and on history.
Elementary-aged kids need middle grade resources that are fun, a little sassy, and that teach valuable lessons.
The Who What Why Series is the perfect resource to teach your kids about history, while helping them apply biblical truths to their lives today.
The Early Church
The Early Church was an important time in the history of the Christian Church. It was an active time when biblical truth was taught, defended, and set into creeds that were easy to learn and repeat.
Theologians and Bible teachers in Western and Eastern Europe, Northern Africa, and the Middle East wrote about biblical truth. God's people worked to live out this truth in their day-to-day lives. God used these faithful men to defend important biblical truths that we still teach our children today.
Teach your kids about the Early Church with fun narrative and important biblical truth through the Who What Why series from Danika Cooley and Christian Focus Publications.
Who Were the Early Church Fathers?
Who Were the Early Church Fathers? by Danika Cooley is an engaging and inspiring introduction to nine remarkable men who helped shape the Christian faith during its earliest and most challenging years. Written especially for middle-grade readers, this narrative biography brings history to life with vivid storytelling and meaningful lessons from the lives of nine men in the early church.
As the early church spread across the Roman Empire, it faced intense persecution, false teaching, and confusion. God raised up leaders--known as the Early Church Fathers--to defend the truth of the gospel and guide believers. Through their courage, wisdom, and faith, they helped preserve the message of Jesus for generations to come.
Inside this book, readers will:

Perfect for young readers, families, and classrooms, Who Were the Early Church Fathers? invites a new generation to explore the past--and be inspired to stand firm in truth today.
As the gospel spread, false teachers saw an opportunity to gain followers, money, and power. God loves his people, so into this mess of ideas, he sent men to defend the Christian faith against the mixed-up, lofty opinions that were against the knowledge of God. Who Were the Early Church Fathers?, Danika Cooley (Christian Focus Publications, 2026), page 12

It may even smell good. But a salty cookie tastes terrible. Eating it may even make you sick. What Is Heresy?, Danika Cooley (Christian Focus Publications, 2026), page 9

Eventually, the church wanted a shorter statement of faith--a summary of belief--so people could confess their belief before being baptized. The Apostles' Creed was written for just that reason. During the first three hundred years of the church, new believers would spend three years in a special class, learning what Jesus taught and how we should live for Jesus. Then, on the night before Easter, or Resurrection Sunday, all the new Christians would gather at a river to be baptized.
