Who, What, Why? - What Was the Tabernacle?
ISBN: 9781527111752God gave the Israelites the tabernacle as a place to worship him, but also as a wonderful picture that points to Jesus.
Although God had rescued his people out of slavery in Egypt, they rebelled against him and worshipped other gods. So God gave Moses rules to teach his people how to love God and each other. He also gave him instructions for how to build a moveable temple for the Lord.
This tent provided a way for the Israelites to serve and worship God his way, in reverence and awe. But the tabernacle was also full of symbols that pointed to Jesus - when God became a man and lived amongst his people.
Danika Cooley, homeschool mom and curriculum developer, shows how understanding this place of worship is as important for Christians today as it was for the Israelites.
Series Description:The Who, What, Why series explores the lives, concepts, and movements that have shaped the lives of God's people throughout history. Featuring engaging narrative, beautiful illustrations and a timeline of key dates, this series introduces young people to big topics through simple questions.
Author: Danika Cooley (ThinkingKidsBlog.org) is an award-winning author and Bible curriculum developer. The homeschool mother of four graduated from the University of Washington.

Endorsements: I highly recommend Danika Cooley's Who, What, Why: Exodus series to any Christian family that wants their children to learn more about the Exodus, and also to any children church or Sunday school teacher who needs a quick lesson and project. One of the MANY things I love about Danika Cooley's book What Was the Tabernacle?is that it doesn't start with a deep dive into the tabernacle itself. It starts with Who God is, who we are, and why we need God to provide the way for us to be together. It shows how God's desire has always been to be with His people, but because of our rebellion against Him, we need a way to be forgiven of our sin so we can be with Him again. Danika's book shows how God gave us shadows in the Old Testament, such as through the sacrifices and the Tabernacle, of what He was ultimately going to do through the death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ. And Danika does it all in an engaging way that is perfectly designed for kids to understand and relate to. I highly recommend this book to anyone who has kids or works with them. It's an excellent tool for helping them grow in their understanding of and their relationship with God. Engaging, accurate, and compelling, Danika does a beautiful job weaving stories of the Old Testament with Gospel truths found in the New Testament. Thank you, Danika, for pointing children toward Jesus Christ through a better understanding of His Word! Linda Lacour Hobar Author, 'The Mystery of History' The Who What Why series by Danika Cooley teaches your children … the most important truth we can ever learn in life: who God is. As parents and grandparents we can have no greater joy than seeing our children walk in the truth that comes from knowing God. I highly recommend this excellent series.
