Review of the B-I-B-L-E

“…biblical truths in language children can understand…” - S.L. (Minnesota)

I bought 2 copies of "The B-I-B-L-E" for 2 young girls in our lives. After looking through them myself, I am anticipating memorable moments "tucking them in" as my husband and I read Biblical truths to them in language they can understand. What a great tool to use in "planting God's Word" in their hearts.

Volume 1 in Series

Psalms teaches us to come to God with every problem and every success. It teaches us to always praise God. It teaches us to live above the circumstances of life, knowing that God is faithful. Psalms repeatedly tells us of God’s unfailing love for us.

1 John is a beautiful book about God’s love for us and the love we should show to each other. It challenges us to faithfully follow the Truth, living in the light that God’s Word offers. That is the secret to living in peace and harmony and closeness to one another.

Volume 2 in Series

Nehemiah teaches about teamwork and the importance of each individual’s effort. When we take on an important task, we can expect problems. But we need to remember that God is great and mighty and he will help us!

Philippians teaches that we should be unselfish as Jesus is. We should really care about others. Knowing Jesus is what matters in life. He will help us have a happy heart no matter what happens.

Colossians teaches about who Jesus is. Obeying Jesus, not following rules, is the way to be right with God. Our sins made us be far away from God, but Jesus died for our sins, and now we can choose to be part of God’s family.

James teaches that trusting in God means obeying God and being kind to others. We need to be careful about the things we say, as our words can cause great hurt. We should not just listen to God’s Word—we must obey it!
