God’s Word For Me ~ Children’s Bible Storybook Review

Review

I was excited to receive God’s Word For Me from Tommy Nelson Mommies last week.  This is a Bible Storybook for kids, but it is not like most that I’ve seen.

God’s Word for Me: Favorite Bible Stories uses text direct from the International Children’s Bible^®.  The verse numbers are noted so that you can look up the story in your Bible is you wish.  13 major stories from the Old Testament and 13 from the New Testament are featured.  Not every verse for each story from the Bible are included, which makes the length manageable for young children.  I really like the way the stories are taken directly from scripture, and how it introduces kids to the concept of verses.

I also was delighted to find the “Resources” section at the end of the book.  Included are The Ten Commandments, The Twenty-Third Psalm, Selected Proverbs, Mary’s Song, Songs about Jesus, and more!  On the “My Reading Chart” and the “My Memory Verse Chart,” your child can keep track of the stories read and verses memorized, making this book a potential keepsake for years to come!

The illustrations are appropriate for both younger and older kids.  If you have a child that has outgrown the whimsical preschool Bible Storybooks (that we so dearly love), then consider this book.  The images make the stories come alive, and show that Bible characters are not just characters, but were real-live people who lived long ago.

Each story also has a suggested “Read God’s Word” (a memory verse) and “Do God’s Word” (simple, great ideas for related activities) to help kids remember and grow.

Purchase Information
