This is a fantastic little booklet. It's fun. It's clear. It answers all the questions about the Bible that you were afraid to ask in case you sounded stupid. And best of all, it will help you to start reading the Bible for yourself. I wish someone had given it to me when I was 10 years old.
A Short Guide to the Bible is the perfect primer to come alongside tweens as they get into God's Word. It's practical, clear, foundational, and engaging, and it wisely counsels kids through aspects of the Bible that may overwhelm them. I cannot wait to give it to my own kids and the kids at my church!
WOW!! This is brilliant! I absolutely love it. A fun and engaging newcomers’ guide to the Bible, with facts, maps and simple timelines that help you work out how it all fits together. I can't wait to give it out to 8-12 year olds near me.
