In this episode, we're diving into the world of storybook Bibles for children. I'm excited to share with you four fantastic resources that I highly recommend for parents looking to instill a love for Scripture in their kids.
First up, we have the "Big Picture Story Bible" by David Helm and Gail Shoemaker. This book is perfect for children from birth to around age five. It beautifully narrates the story of Scripture from Adam to Christ, providing solid biblical teaching in an engaging way.
Next on the list is "The Jesus Storybook Bible" by Sally Lloyd-Jones, illustrated by Jago. This book delves deeper into the narrative of Scripture, making it suitable for children aged three to nine or ten. It covers both the Old and New Testaments, offering a comprehensive overview of God's redemptive plan.
Moving on, we have "The Gospel Story Bible" by Marty Machowski. This resource goes even further in detail, with 156 chapters covering both the Old and New Testaments. It's a great tool for children aged three to ten, providing a rich understanding of God's Word.
Lastly, we have "More Than a Story" series by Sally Michael, which includes both Old and New Testament versions. These books offer a thorough exploration of Scripture, with each chapter focusing on key biblical accounts and providing discussion points for deeper engagement.
By incorporating these storybook Bibles into your family routine, you not only impart knowledge of Scripture to your children but also demonstrate the value of God's Word in your own life. Taking just a few minutes each night to read and discuss these stories can have a lasting impact on your children's faith journey.
So, whether you have young children, grandchildren, or know families with little ones, I encourage you to explore these resources and start incorporating them into your daily routine. Check out the show notes for links to these storybook Bibles and interviews with the authors for more insights.
Join me next week as we continue our exploration of faith-building resources. Until then, keep entrusting the faith to the next generation. Talk to you soon!
