Louie Giglio’s bestselling Indescribable Kids series expands with first activity book

“Indescribable Activity Book for Kids: 150+ Mind-Stretching and Faith-Building Puzzles, Crosswords, STEM Experiments, and More About God and Science!” hits shelves April 4.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (February 2023) – For years, bestselling author and founder of the Passion movement Louie Giglio has encouraged kids to discover the wonders of the universe with his massively popular Indescribable Kids series, which has sold nearly one million copies. Now he is expanding the award-winning series with a new book Indescribable Activity Book for Kids: 150+ Mind-Stretching and Faith-Building Puzzles, Crosswords, STEM Experiments, and More About God and Science! releasing on Tuesday, April 4, 2023.

A follow-up to the bestselling kids’ devotionals Indescribable, Indescribable for Little Ones, How Great Is Our God and The Wonder of Creation, the Indescribable Activity Book for Kids invites children to embark on an interactive journey to learn more about God and the Bible in the series’ first activity book. The educational guide weaves together faith and science with key biblical truths, fun scientific facts, exciting STEM-based activities, beautiful photography, and vibrant illustrations.

“The Indescribable series was born out of a desire to share the Creation story in a way that kids could grasp the magnitude of the Lord’s greatness and grace. My hope is that this new activity book will provide kids with a hands-on resource to explore, discover, and engage with God and science,” says Giglio.

In the Indescribable Activity B­ook for Kids, children will explore the wonder of God’s creation at a whole new level! With more than 100 activities, this book includes:

  • mazes, puzzles, riddles, and logic games
  • word searches, crosswords, and complete-the-story exercises
  • STEM projects for kids
  • simple science projects and at-home activities
  • ideas for helping your community and people around the world
  • maps and diagrams
  • coloring and drawing prompts and much more!

With bright, kid-friendly artwork by Lynsey Wilson and Nicola Anderson, this activity book is perfect for families looking for a faith-based, educational homeschooling resource, an activity to cure boredom at home, a fun diversion on car rides, and a healthy alternative to screen time.

Indescribable Activity Book for Kids: 150+ Mind-Stretching and Faith-Building Puzzles, Crosswords, STEM Experiments, and More About God and Science! (ISBN: 9781400235889) releases on Tuesday, April 4, 2023, everywhere books are sold.
