Beginner's Bible

The tagline for 100 Bedtime Devotions from The Beginner’s Bible is Meaningful Answers to Kids Big Questions. Designed for end of the day prayers and discussions, the book is divided up into topics including Peace, Hope and Patience, God’s Purpose for Us, and Loving God And Loving Others. There are devotions for when a child is scared or hurt, and devotions to encourage gratefulness and kindness — basically, every situation that can come up in a child’s life. The stories are short, simple, and easy to understand, and most importantly taken directly from the Bible. A short prayer prompt can help parents guide their child into quiet time with God. Brightly colored illustrations capture the eye as the truths from God’s word are shared. I can’t wait to share this book with my grandchildren!

Recommended.

Audience: children 4-8.

With a robust cover—and a wonderful touch of glow-in-the-dark which is sure to draw many kids' attention—this is a small collection of Bible stories just right for younger readers, ages three and up.
It's robust enough to withstand smaller accidents and has a great size for younger hands. While the illustrations invite kids to flip through on their own, the stories are written in more of a devotional form, offering a closing goodnight prayer and Bible verse at the end of each one.

The stories are short, only a few pages, and carry several lines of text below a bright illustration. The themes are broken evenly between the Old and New Testament, each one a very familiar story. Most stories chosen offer joyful endings, which are encouraging and inspirational. None of the tales goes into great detail but rather hits the key points in a language kids can easy understand. The collection ends with the resurrection of Jesus.

This is a lovely collection of the most familiar Bible stories placed at just the right level for young listeners. The prayer at the end of each story makes this a great read for the end of the day.

In Noah And The Noisy Ark, a favorite Bible story is told in a simple manner for the smallest of readers. And because it is part of the Beginner’s Bible series, parents can be assured that God’s word is faithfully followed. Colorful illustrations portray the days of Noah — the disobedience of the people and the faithfulness of Noah. This book is a sturdy board book with a built in handle so that your child can carry it around the house or on car trips. Expect this one to be read over and over! But isn’t that great? Instilling God’s word, plan, and promises in even the tiniest of hearts!

Recommended.

Audience: children ages 2-5.
