The book of Leviticus is the Bible's most skipped book. But what if it's also one of its most important?

Let's be honest: Leviticus is the book that stops most Bible-reading plans in their tracks. Sandwiched between the drama of Exodus and the journey of Numbers, it looks like nothing but ancient rules-burnt offerings, skin diseases, dietary restrictions, and regulations about mold. No wonder families skip it.

But this strange, misunderstood book turns out to be the answer to the Bible's most important question: How can a holy God live among an unholy people? It's the blueprint for every sacrifice that pointed to Jesus. It's where God says, "Be holy because I am holy"-and then shows exactly what that looks like, from the altar to the marketplace. And buried right here, in the book nobody reads, is the verse Jesus called the second greatest commandment in the entire Bible: "Love your neighbor as yourself."

What Is the Book of Leviticus? makes this challenging book accessible for today's young readers. Written in a warm, conversational style that doesn't skip the hard parts or talk down to kids, this guide walks through all twenty-seven chapters of Leviticus with:

• Engaging illustrations from pop culture-from The Lord of the Rings to Monsters Inc. to Harry Potter-that connect biblical themes to stories kids already know and love
• Clear explanations of unfamiliar concepts-sacrifices, priesthood, clean and unclean, the Day of Atonement, and the Year of Jubilee-made vivid and understandable without dumbing them down
• Real-life application-helping kids see how Leviticus speaks to their own questions about why sin is serious, why God's holiness matters, and why Jesus had to die

Whether your child is curious about how the Old Testament connects to Jesus, learning to take God's holiness seriously while trusting his grace, or ready to explore the book that everyone else skips, What Is the Book of Leviticus? will show them that the God who moved into Israel's camp is the same God who gave his Son so he could live with us forever.

Perfect for family reading, church classes, or independent study.
