Bible Devotionals and Stories

We like reading the Bible to children, but we've been at it a long time. If you are like we were when we were new parents, you want a Bible devotions book that helps young parents with small children. It teaches you while it teaches them. Here are some of our favorites. Bible stories are wonderful for children who are too young for a "real" Bible. There are lovely illustrations which make favorite Bible stories real to them.

Big Thoughts for Little People

By Kenneth Taylor, Illustrated by Kathryn E. Shoemaker

Big Thoughts for Little People goes through the alphabet with a beautiful picture and Bible verse for each letter. The writing (poem) goes with each picture and verse. There is additional explanation/discussion/questions in Kenneth Taylor's style for each one. Children love to find the hidden ladybugs in each picture. It is a hardcover book.

Hide 'Em In Your Heart Volume 1 CD

By Steve Green

I absolutely love this the Hide 'Em in Your Heart CD! It has helpful Bible memory verses sung by Steve Green. The music calms children and after the CD is over, they act nice to each other--as opposed to music that stirs them up. For the time being this CD is also a DVD of the video version of the album. Great Buy! There's also a Hide 'Em In Your Heart, Volume 2 that is equally well done and for now [available while supply lasts], it's a DVD, too.

Eighteen songs are on the CD and thirteen of these are done on the DVD. Song titles include: Let The Little Children Come, Without Complaining, Overcome Evil With Good, Children Obey Your Parents, etc. You can see where the verses are leading!
