The Bestselling Series, The Story, Presents Three Inspiring Books That Teach Kids about the
Bible
I am so impressed with this package I received from Zonderkidz with Max Lucado's The Story for Children, God's Message for Little Ones devotional and The Story of Jesus for Kids. The Story for Children is a gorgeous Bible for children that is a storybook Bible. The stories are short with colorful illustrations and at the end of each story is God's Message which are main points of the story from God's point of view like "You are my greatest creation." The stories are available on audio CD read by Max Lucado himself! God's Message for Little Ones is a 31 day devotional that have a Bible verse, a few sentences about the verse and what God Says to Me which are similar to God's Message from The Story for Children. At the end are the ABC's of salvation with Bible verses and statements from A-Z. The Story of Jesus for Kids is a great little book that uses the New International Reader's Version to tell the story of Jesus from all four gospels in a fluent narrative. At the end of each chapter are discussion questions that are appropriate for children ages 9-12. We enjoyed these excellent Christian resources that will help lead our children to a personal relationship with Jesus.
Lucado’s
tender narration of 48 fundamental Bible stories will hold the attention of children,
allowing them to follow along and focus on the vibrant illustrations by artist
Fausto Bianchi.
In
GOD’S MESSAGES FOR LITTLE ONES
(Zonderkidz; November 2012; $9.99), Lucado once again tells the story of
God’s enormous love for his children, this time in a colorful 31-day devotional
that features short key passages from The
Story for Children.
Set against colorful illustrations by Josee Masse, GOD’S MESSAGES FOR LITTLE ONES will guide youngsters to the
knowledge that they are a crucial part of God’s story.
A new and separate addition to the collection, THE STORY OF JESUS FOR KIDS (Zonderkidz; October 2012; $2.99) is a paperback booklet that packs a big message. With easy-to-read text selected from the New International Reader’s Version, this book tells the story of the most important person who ever lived.
Each section in THE STORY OF
JESUS FOR KIDS concludes with discussion questions that help young readers
relate the story to their own experiences.
This is a great tool to introduce kids 9-12 to Jesus or further develop
their faith.
