My family just completed all 71 chapters in 2019 during our family worship time. The book was originally published in 2015. It is sprinkled with beautiful illustrations. Some funny and some more serious. The topics covered cover the full spectrum of really any systematic theology textbook. It can easily be used for children of all ages. I am including a basic breakdown of the table of contents. An excellent gem and highly recommended for children.
Table of Contents
The Ology of God (Chapters 1 thru 8)
The Ology of People (Chapter 9 thru 11)
The Ology of Sin (Chapters 12-19)
The Ology of the Promise and the Law (Chapters 20-26)
The Ology of Christ (Chapters 27-35)
The Ology of the Holy Spirit (Chapters 36-38)
The Ology of Adoption into God's Family (Chapter 39-44)

The Ology of the End Times (Chapters 59-65)

The book also includes review study questions for each chapter in a Question and Answer format. It also includes a small glossary of terms that you may or may not know.
Amazon's Summary:
The Ology by best-selling children's author Marty Machowski is a stunningly illustrated beginner's theology book to help kids of all ages understand who God is and how we, as his children, relate to him.
Arranged within a traditional systematic theological framework, each truth in The Ology is also connected to the larger redemptive story of Scripture. This storybook of systematic theology takes abstract concepts in the Bible and makes them easier to understand with the use of creative examples, illustrations, and analogies.
The Ology is a starting point to learning theology and aims to create a hunger and desire in children to learn more as they grow older. Designed for six-year-olds through preteens, this flexible resource includes built-in adaptations so the entire families can enjoy it together.
The story begins in the cellar of the old stone cathedral, where Carla and Timothy uncover a life-changing treasure: a carefully wrapped, ancient book known as The Ology. Young readers will discover a tale of adventure, mystery, and wonder, which will lead them to the truth about God, themselves, and the world around them.
As a father to six children, Machowski knows how to intentionally create a vivid resource, full of analogies and word pictures to help kids grasp difficult theological concepts. Read The Ology to preschoolers; read it with grade-school kids, and let older kids discover the "hidden" truths by reading the corresponding Scripture passages for each section.
However you read it, The Ology will give your children a gift that will last a lifetime—a solid foundation of transformative biblical truth that will point them to the God who loves them and gave himself for them.
There is also a companion album to The Ology by Sovereign Grace Music that celebrates these wonderful theological truths through worship music that the whole family can enjoy.
An excellent book and worthy of reading.
Again, read, comment, enjoy.
