teaching a 3-year old about God

Yesterday, DS and I were doing a craft for Thanksgiving where we were thanking God for various things. Then, he starting asking all these questions about God and Jesus, and I was really unsure how to answer some of them. Does anyone know of any resources (books, websites, etc) that I could use to help me out?

My church does not really have Sunday school so I am on my own for now with this.. They have the nursery, and DS is the only child in there, and the Sunday school has one group of kids, and they are all like at least 7 years old. We go to a small church that is looking for a new pastor, so it;s even smaller now as people have left.

I love the Jesus story book bible! Other then that just start talking with him about creation, God mad tree, flowers, mountains, water, him...etc... Then maybe teach the christmas story in December.

I have a bunch of books that are Bible stories. I definitely have to dig those up. We have been already talking about Christmas being Jesus' birthday. I think I have a good book on that, too.

I guess the questions that trip me up are "Who is God?" "What does she drive?" "Where does she live?" "Is God a boy, man, ?etc." "Why did God do XYZ?" My son does the nonstop questioning, and I can usually think of answers, but then it's on to a new question, and I can't keep up :laugh:

We have all kinds of bible story books, toddler bibles, Veggie Tales books/videos, books about Jesus, etc. I choose one bible-based book and another kind of book to read each night.
