Parents and teachers are always on the lookout for fresh new study resources for children. Children need a broad overview to understand how the Bible was put together over the centuries, why we believe it is the inspired Word of God, who the main characters are, what the action is all about, what Bible times were like, and why we study this one-of-a-kind book of poetry, wisdom, story, epistle, and apocalypse. Children's Guide to the Bible answers all these needs and more, in a colorful and easy-to-read format that will intrigue children ages 8-12. This basic overview offers a sound and accessible introduction to the Scriptures. The core text moves through the Bible, summarizing the main events from Genesis to Revelation. Each double-page spread contains the core text plus illustrations and sidebars that explain word meanings, offer background on beliefs, customs, and social life, highlight important Bible verses, and answer questions about Bible people, places, things, and events. Children's Guide to the Bible offers plenty of solid information in a palatable format that satisfies hungry young minds.
