After more than 30 years, Daniel Hill Riedel is reintroducing his Family Picturebook, AND GOD SAID for a new generation—taking them on a pictorial journey through the creation of the heavens and the earth! And guiding them through the Bible’s teaching on our origins, identity, meaning, purpose and destiny—all starting in the beginning. The first edition was published by Wolgemuth & Hyatt Publishers, Inc in 1989.
In addition to the newly designed picturebook illustrating Genesis 1-2, this special 2nd edition of AND GOD SAID contains a new study guide on the importance of creation: Creation’s Answers to Life’s 5 Essential Questions. The answers to the questions of origins, identity, meaning, purpose and destiny tell the story of the connection between humanity’s origins and the meaning and purpose of our lives in our families, work and relationship with God and His creation today. This is the blueprint for every area of life!
Riedel shares what motivated him to republish this new version of AND GOD SAID, “Christian families are increasingly facing the challenges of a godless culture. Their children are being bombarded with unbiblical teachings about our origins, the value of human life, sexuality, gender, marriage, family, work, worship, the environment and climate—all of which impacts our lives’ fundamental meaning, purpose and destiny. All these things are defined by God in His creation. And all of them are being confronted with the serpent’s first question in the garden of Eden, ‘Has God said?’ If ever there were a time for Christian families to teach their children a biblical worldview based on the authority of God’s word starting with creation, it’s today! I hope and pray that this new edition of AND GOD SAID will become a standard resource for families, churches, homeschoolers and Christian schools to teach these timeless truths to our children from their earliest ages.”
