Book Review: One Blood For Kids

According to the description for the book, One Blood For Kids - What The Bible Says About Race, "discussions about race are inundated with political correctness and cultural buzzwords. Yet, it is critical to have this difficult conversation with children today in a way they can understand – and God has given us a simple, powerful answer in the Bible." 
In this book, "Ken Ham provides children important insight and a biblical foundation that combat the evolutionary nonsense of multiple human races. From the Garden of Eden to our world today, there is just one race – the human race – and once you understand that, racism loses its power!" This book is geared toward children, however it seems it is geared toward older children in that the book has a lot of reading per topic about race. So younger children may not stay as attentive when reading this too them, so parents may need to break it down in smaller reading sessions. 

Even with the length of the discussion, it is a good one to be had with children and adults. Racism is from the pits of hell and every person needs to understand there are not separate "races" of people. There is one race, the human race. The human race has one blood and was created in the image of God. Understanding that there are people groups that originated at the tower of babel is true history of the world. Ken Ham covers the topic of racism from a biblical perspective well. 

The book also brings historical and scientific discussions in to play which is excellent for consideration. The only thing that I didn't like about the book was the organization of the information. The topics on science and history seem randomly placed throughout the book. They also detract from reading the narrative on racism. 

The book does cover how the teaching of evolution is false but because many schools teach it as fact, children are at risk of being indoctrinated into racist worldviews. I think this book helps point to the solution for racism: Jesus and the Word of God. Only through Jesus and His Word can a person overcome racism, no matter how slight it may be.
