Synopsis

With engaging rhyme, this audiobook sparks listeners' imaginations with the big idea that God created human beings to make, model, and work like Him.

The Creator in You is a book that children, graduates, and even many adults will treasure for a lifetime. This fresh perspective on the creation account from the Bible's first book, Genesis, helps readers see that "the sixth day" wasn't the end of creation--it was "just the beginning."

"Before His day off, God had one more to-do. On His sixth day creating, God chose to make you." God made kids to create like he does--by filling the world with sand castles and s'mores today, and businesses and books tomorrow. Through inspiring words, listeners of all ages will feel connected to God's story of creation in a deeply personal way, inspiring them to view their current and future work with purpose, enthusiasm, and joy.
