A Child’s Book of Bible Teachings – Highly recommended

This British edition of one of the finest American books for young children is designed for the daily use of parents as they read to little children. Each portion unfolds some great truth, is beautifully illustrated by Macy Schwarz’s drawings, and provides helpful guidance as parents and little ones talk, sing, and pray together.

In the author’s opening words, ‘This book will help us to find God and to know Him. It will help us to learn about God. We will learn how great and wonderful He is. We will learn how He takes care of us. And we will learn how to love Him and to live close to Him even though we cannot see Him.’

There are 86 portions grouped under these main headings:
Looking for God
God is very Great
All that God does is Good
Sin Spoiled the World
God’s Law
God Loves Us
What Jesus Did
How We Become Children of God
About the Holy Spirit
How God’s Children Live
God Helps His Children Live for Him
When We Pray to God
About God’s Church
Things that are to Happen

 

Reviews

“The greatest concern of every Christian parent and teacher is to lead children to grow in their faith and understanding of God. This classic volume uses simple, conversational language to discuss such matters as the nature of God, sin, salvation, the Christian life, the church, prayer and the Second Coming. Widely used by teachers and parents, this valuable book contains eighty-six sections, each followed by discussion questions, a suggested reading, a hymn, and a prayer.” ~Eerdmans Publishing Company

 

“Basically a Christianity 101 book for children. Pretty much covers all the important topics and we read it at a time when my daughter was naturally asking these questions anyway. Wonderful resource!
Note: A little bit outdated in some sections (hymns) and language (King James), but easy to skip over that.
” ~ Rebecca (Mom)

 

“It’s hard to find good children’s books with depth. This is an excellent book! It answers questions like “Why can’t I see God”, Why should we confess our sins”, “What is baptism”, etc. It’s very straightforward and written in a way that children can understand. It helped clarify some things for me too! I highly recommend this book to anyone with children that have a lot of questions.” ~ Lisa
