Picture Books in Ministry

Picture books are an important part of ministry with children and their families, particularly during difficult times. Our collection in Caven Library includes books about death, dying, separation, divorce, and anxiety. Because they distill big ideas and concepts into simpler forms, picture books are ideal for introducing challenging topics and inviting listeners of all ages into deeper wondering and conversation.

Monthly giving

You can be part of Knox’s sustaining support — with a monthly donation amount that works for you. Thank you for investing in the future of the church, building vibrant communities of God’s love and hope.

New Faculty book

Knox Professor Brian Irwin has written After Dispensationalism: Reading the Bible for the End of the World with co-author Tim Perry. What does God most want us to know and do with prophecy? Irwin and Perry reexamine the key texts and show how prophecy is primarily God’s word of hope.
