The Treasure: Ancient Story Ever New of Jesus and His Church Hardcover – October 2, 2023
Purchase options and add-ons
Best-selling author Marty Machowski takes young readers on an exciting biblical voyage to discover the treasure of God’s love revealed in Luke’s letters to Theophilus—Luke and Acts.
In the tradition of his well-loved bestsellers The Ology and WonderFull, Machowski weaves a study of the Bible with a fictional story. The Treasure follows the adventures of Mira and Theos who discover a sea captain’s personal journal which offers clues to a hidden treasure. They can only solve the riddle of the treasure by studying two ancient scrolls, the Gospel of Luke and the Book of Acts. Young readers will journey with the siblings as they solve their puzzle and discover the captain’s treasure—Christ!
While these New Testament books are often thought of as two separate books telling different stories, they are really two halves of one greater story recorded by Luke. Through Luke’s retelling of Jesus’s work on earth and the Spirit’s work in growing the church, we see the Father’s love on full display. The Treasure will help children grow in their knowledge and love of God.

About the author
Marty Machowski serves as both the Executive Pastor and Family Pastor at Covenant Fellowship Church in Glen Mills, Pennsylvania, where he has served on the pastoral staff for over 30 years. He is the author of The Ology, a systematic theology for children, Long Story Short, Ten-Minute Devotions to Draw Your Family to God, The Gospel Story Sunday School Curriculum and the companion Gospel Story Children's Bible. Marty enjoys writing "study fiction," a genre he developed that combines Bible study with engaging fiction. Dragon Seed, a novel for teens, and Prepare Him Room, an Advent devotional for families combine these two elements. He and his wife Lois and their six children reside in West Chester Pennsylvania area. Marty's other books include Wise Up, Listen Up, Don't Blame the Mud, God Made Boys and Girls, Leading Your Children to Christ, Teaching Your Children About Money, and Parenting First Aid.
Marty recently became the proud grandfather of Hosanna Rose Mahalik. With the addition of Hosanna, his third grandchild, Marty’s desire to share the gospel with the next generation was freshly invigorated. Currently, Marty has eight additional books in the works to be published, all of which look to equip parents to share the gospel with their children.

> seamlessly weaves a modern story (two kids in Greece who discover old scrolls) with an ancient one (which their discovery tells) while journeying toward the treasure
> focuses on Acts & Luke, but effectively paints the plenary view of the Bible–how all parts connect and nothing is left to chance
> wonderful illustrations keep the readers’ interest engaged
(note: one page depicts a girl in a one-piece swimsuit)
> faithful to Scripture
Type: family devotional/Bible study
Ages: 4-10*
*I say these ages very loosely. It can be enjoyed by and impactful for all ages! Plus, there is a thoughtful “Bible Study for Older Children” that can facilitate excellent further discussion.
Have you have read Machowski’s “The Ology”? You'll be pleased to hear that this is equally well-written!
If your family has never had devotions together (or if you’re looking for something new), I can happily suggest The Treasure. It is undated, so it can be started any time. Each entry is short, so you can even do more than one in a sitting if inclined.
One of the best parts is how well Scripture is woven in with relevancy. Your family will learn to apply Scripture to real life and be forever benefited.
Thank you, New Growth Press, Marty, and Flavia for giving our children priceless treasures.

Though it may be best for 8-12 year olds for independent reader, it's still appropriate for 5+ to listen.
