The Silly Skyscraper

Quality Religious Books for Children series based on Luke Genesis 11:1-9 for children. This is a story of pride and judgement. The people decided to build a tall tower as a way of making a name for themselves. They were proud people determined to build a monument to their own glory. The unity of their common language and their building skills were not used for God, because they forgot that all things came from the creative and loving power of God. The Lord saw their silly skyscraper and the pride of their hearts. He brought them to judgement by confusing their language. They stopped their tower building and scattered everywhere. The story in this Archbook ends with the judgement of God on proud people, but the story of the Bible continues with the hope and mercy God gave to Abraham. God had mercy and forgave all who believed God's word of agreement. God's gracious agreement was completed and fulfilled in the coming of Jesus Christ. You will find this story useful to help your child recognize "silly skyscrapers" today, for any actions done out of pride instead of love for God stand under God's judgement.
