Each story is true, and you can tell it too!
A world being created from nothing. A boy facing a giant on the battlefield. A Savior giving all for the people He loves. The Bible is full of incredible true stories that not only enthrall listeners but also connect them to the original storyteller—God.
Each story takes about five minutes to read aloud, perfect for sharing at the end of a class period or at the end of a long day when ready for bed. Together, the stories offer a cohesive retelling of the gospel narrative, engaging children’s hearts and minds and pointing them to the greatest Storyteller of all.
What is God like?
Children often wonder what God is like. Is He big and old? Near or far? In The Maker of the Mountain, a sweet story combines with imagery from Scripture to help young readers better understand God’s power and care.
Little Bear’s mama sends him on an adventure, encouraging him to lift his eyes to find the Maker of the mountain. At each stop along the way, Little Bear meets new friends who have each seen the Maker and can tell the small bear more about what He’s like. At the pasture, he learns that God is like a gate, always keeping His sheep safe. In the vineyard, the bear learns that God is like the vine, helping us to grow. And on the mountain, he sees that the Maker is sturdy and strong.
Little Bear travels up the mountain, across the sea, and finally back home again, where he can rest his head at night knowing that God is always with us. This beautifully illustrated picture book includes a map of Little Bear’s world, with corresponding Scriptures noted for each stop on his adventure.
Learning how to read the Bible can (and should) be fun!
From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible is alive! God has been using these words to help His people know and love Him more for thousands of years. But because the Bible was written so long ago, it may feel confusing or hard to read. Discovering the Bible teaches kids that each book of the Bible is written a little differently—in various genres. Some books tell stories, others contain poetry, some are lists of laws or letters, and a few even reveal the future! Throughout this book, kids will learn things like…
• Each book of the Bible’s genre
• The context of every book in Scripture
• How to ask the right questions when reading a particular book
• How to practice studying the Bible in their daily lives
Whether kids take this book to church, use it in their quiet time or homeschool curriculum, or simply read it with a parent or friend, Discovering the Bible is a reliable Bible study companion. It will set a foundation for kids to read the Bible better, and therefore, know and love God more.
