For Christmas, we got David an unabridged audio version of Pilgrim’s Progress. The children are familiar with the story and main characters, so they have enjoyed listening to the CDs in the car, even though much of it goes over their head. The more I listen, the more convinced I am in the value of [...]

Each lesson includes a page to discuss with children, including a character quality from Scripture, a definition, scripture verse, illustrating picture, examples of how the verse applies to a child, [...]

It seems to be the custom among some groups to sneer just a bit at Bible story books. Although I don’t think it’s wrong to have Bible reading time for children of all ages, I also do not think it is wrong to use written materials specifically designed to teaching children about God. In some [...]
