Turn Bible heroes into STEM superstars.
God’s Wonder Lab: Bible Heroes Meet STEM is an action-packed activity book that brings classic Bible stories to life through science, technology, engineering, and math. Instead of just reading about miracles, kids get to test, build, measure, launch, and explore—seeing how God’s creation and His power show up in the real world.
Each chapter starts with a high-energy “Bible Adventure Time” retelling of a well-known story, followed by a kid-friendly “Science Safari” that explains the STEM concept behind it. Then comes hands-on LAB TIME, with simple experiments and build challenges using everyday materials, plus “Science Circle Chats,” “Faith Connections,” and fun “Science Star Badges” that help kids process what they learned and how it connects to God.
Inside, kids will explore:
-
Noah’s Ark and Buoyancy – Build floating foil boats, load them with “animals,” and discover why wider boats stay afloat.
-
The Red Sea and Water Science – Use wind, water, and simple tools to model how powerful forces move water.
-
The Tower of Babel and Engineering – Design and test marshmallow-and-spaghetti towers while learning about teamwork and pride.
-
David and Goliath and Physics – Build mini catapults and explore how angles, force, and motion helped a shepherd boy drop a giant.
-
Joseph’s Famine Plan and Math – Simulate grain storage and planning, showing how wise preparation can bless others.
-
Ezekiel’s Wheels and Geometry – Create layered spinning “wheels within wheels” and talk about God’s mind-blowing creativity.
-
Jericho’s Walls and Sound Waves – Build mini “walls” and use sound and vibration to explore how structures respond to resonance.
-
Feeding the 5,000 and Multiplication – Use simple objects to model sharing, division, and abundance.
-
Noah’s Ark Revisited and Biodiversity – Create your own classification systems and talk about God’s care for creation.
-
The Star of Bethlehem and Astronomy – Make a simple star finder and learn how people have used the night sky for navigation.
-
Faith and STEM Together – A final chapter that helps kids see how faith and science ask different questions but point to the same Creator.

Age Range:
Designed for kids ages 7–12. Younger kids can participate with adult help; older kids can take the lead on experiments and explanations.
God’s Wonder Lab: Bible Heroes Meet STEM helps kids see that the same God who split seas, dropped giants, and guided wise men by a star also designed gravity, sound waves, geometry, and biodiversity. It’s more than a storybook—it’s a faith-filled lab manual for curious minds and brave young believers.

My daughter struggles with attention, but this book held her focus longer than anything we’ve tried. She loved being able to “do” something instead of just listen. We’ve had more meaningful conversations about faith after reading this than we ever did before.

After 12 years teaching children’s ministry, I can honestly say this is one of the most practical resources I’ve used. The lessons are structured enough to teach easily but flexible enough to adapt to different age groups. The kids stay engaged, and more importantly, they remember the message the following week. That alone makes this book worth owning.

I bought this hoping it would make Bible time less of a struggle in our house. I didn’t expect my son to start reminding me that it was time to read. What surprised me most was how naturally the science experiments connected to the stories. Noah’s Ark becoming a lesson in buoyancy and design completely changed how my child understood the story. Instead of just memorizing facts, he started asking why things work the way God designed them. It’s rare to find a faith-based book that feels this thoughtful and modern without losing its spiritual foundation.

This book bridges a gap Christian education has needed to address for years. Children today are naturally curious about science, and ignoring that curiosity does more harm than good. God’s Wonder Lab treats science as a way to appreciate God’s design, not oppose it. That approach is both refreshing and necessary.

We use this as part of our weekly homeschool routine, and it has quickly become one of our most effective learning tools. My kids retain more from this book than from traditional workbooks because they are physically building, testing, and discussing what they learn. The faith element never feels forced—it’s woven naturally into curiosity and discovery. It has helped my children see God as a creator who welcomes questions, not someone threatened by them.
