New Growth Press, 2025. 176 pages.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Reading Level<\/strong>: <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/redeemedreader.com\/category\/book-reviews\/middle-grades\/\">Middle Grades<\/a>, <\/strong>ages 8-10<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Recommended For<\/strong>: Ages 8-10<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Can kids understand the book of Romans? Marty Machowski not only thinks they can, he has helped them to do so. Machowski compares a child&#8217;s understanding to wading in the shallows of the ocean: it&#8217;s still wet and still has the power to transform, although a greater understanding obviously awaits! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The real question is: does he succeed? I&#8217;m not an upper elementary-school aged child, but I think he does. The story begins with Brant and Katana, siblings, and their discovery of an ancient book, a Mystery. Learning about the mystery will take them back to the days of the book of Romans&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like <em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/redeemedreader.com\/the-ology-by-marty-machowski\/\">The Ology<\/a><\/strong><\/em> (a book we liked very much!), this book has a frame tale: a story to hook the reader and lead them into the real story. Most of this book is an exposition of the book of Romans in bite-size chunks, coupled with plenty of explanatory stories and information. Scripture passages are given at the top of each reading, and Machowski recommends reading those alongside reading <em>The Sword<\/em>. At nearly 150 chapters, this book would make an ideal school year reading project (most school years are 180 days of instruction). It&#8217;s a perfect time to start! Chapters are short and can easily be read over dinner or before bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The illustrations in this book are very different from those in <strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/redeemedreader.com\/the-ology-by-marty-machowski\/\">The Ology<\/a><\/em><\/strong> or <strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/redeemedreader.com\/wonderfull-ancient-psalms-ever-new\/\">WonderFull<\/a><\/em><\/strong>, and they have a retro vibe that is fresh and fun, even while they may remind you of mid-century artwork. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bottom Line:<\/strong> A great option for those who want to dive into the book of Romans, especially if they&#8217;ve already worked through a book like <em>The Ology<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\"><em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/redeemedreader.com\/category\/book-reviews\/starred-reviews\/\">*indicates a starred review, the best of the best in its field<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-recommended-reading-at-redeemed-reader\">Recommended Reading at Redeemed Reader <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Book Reviews:<\/strong> Similar books by Machowski include <em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/redeemedreader.com\/the-treasure-by-marty-machowski\/\">The Treasure<\/a><\/strong>,<\/em> <em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/redeemedreader.com\/the-ology-by-marty-machowski\/\">The Ology<\/a><\/strong><\/em>, and <em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/redeemedreader.com\/wonderfull-ancient-psalms-ever-new\/\">WonderFull<\/a><\/strong><\/em>.
