Book Review: The Wisdom of God by Lithos Kids
Some kids’ books entertain. Some teach. And then there are books that quietly disciple, this is one of those.
The Wisdom of God does a beautiful job of introducing children to a truth many adults still wrestle with: God is not just smart, He is wisdom. Wisdom doesn’t come from within ourselves first; it flows from Him.
What I love most is how easy this book is to read. It doesn’t rush your child through big ideas, doesn’t overwhelm them, and it’s not trying to be flashy or trendy just to keep attention. It gently invites children to see that God’s wisdom is woven into creation, into Scripture, and into the way we live our everyday lives.
As a mom who reads a lot with her kids, I’m always watching for books that:
- Honor Scripture without watering it down
- Speak to children without talking down to them
- Point back to God, not self
This book checks all three.
The language is approachable for young children, but the truths are deep enough to spark real conversations about listening, obedience, discernment, and trusting God’s ways even when we don’t understand them yet. It naturally opens the door to ask, “What does it look like to walk in God’s wisdom today?”
And from a practical standpoint?
It’s the kind of book you can:
- Read aloud in the morning
- Pair with Scripture
- Revisit often without it feeling repetitive
That matters in a home where discipleship is lived out.
When you buy a book like The Wisdom of God, you’re not just purchasing a cute book that tells cute stories. You’re making a spiritual investment. You’re instilling deep biblical truths in the well of your child’s heart. We are constantly investing in our children’s minds: curriculum, activities, enrichment, entertainment. But books like this invest in something deeper. Their understanding of where wisdom comes from. Their ability to recognize that truth isn’t shaped by feelings or trends, but by God Himself.
This is the kind of book that quietly works over time. The truths settle in. The language becomes familiar. The ideas return during real life moments when a child is choosing how to respond, listen, or obey. That’s the kind of return you can’t measure, but it’s one that lasts and counts for eternity.
And beyond the content, this book is physically beautiful. The illustrations are rich, thoughtful, and reverent. They invite a child to linger, to look closely, to notice, to slow down. From the cover to the pages, it feels like a book you want to keep. One you’ll leave out on the shelf instead of tucking away. One that naturally becomes part of your family rhythm.
If you’re building a home library, choosing gifts with meaning, or looking for resources that align with biblical values, this is a wise place to invest. Books shape theology long before children can articulate it and The Wisdom of God points them, again and again, back to the Source.
If you’re looking to build a home library that actually supports biblical formation, The Wisdom of God is a worthy addition. It aligns beautifully with raising children who are anchored in truth, led by the Spirit, and taught early that wisdom begins with the fear of The Lord.
