Summary: The Easy-To-Use Bible Handbook For Children
Review: Encourage your children to learn more about their Bibles with this revised, updated and kid-friendly book based on the timeless classic Bible Handbook What The Bible Is All About by Henrietta C. Mears. Written in a fresh, contemporary style and featuring new articles, maps, charts and illustrations, this book will help reinforce the Bible study skills that kids need to grow in Christ. It is a unique resource for both children and teachers that shows how everything from Genesis to Revelation fits together. As you study each book of the Bible, you will find: Information about the writer of each book. Special notations listing the meaning of the title and contents of each book. An outline and list of main people in each book to help you see the entire book in a nutshell. Illustrations, time lines and maps that show when and where key Bible events happened. Summaries within each book that show you how each section fits into the "big picture." How contemporary discoveries have given new insight into the meanings of Bible passages and customs. This book is highly recommended for Sunday School class and will help children of all ages have fun as they learn and explore God's Word and understand the big picture of His grand and glorious design. "This is a book you'll use over and over again as you study God's Word. It will not only help you understand what happened in Bible times, but how to apply it to your own life. We cannot recommend it too highly, whether for personal Bible study, family devotions or group study." -Billy and Ruth Graham Frances Blankenbaker holds a master's degree in education and is a gifted teacher with wide experience. A children's curriculum editor at Gospel Light Publications for many years, she now directs children's ministries in a Southern California church. Dr. Robert J. Choun is associate professor of Christian Education at Dallas Theological Seminary and holds a D.Min. degree.

Summary: Just what my kids need!
Review: I teach Sunday School to third graders, most of whom are more likely to associate Genesis with computer games rather than with the Bible. Our church gives every third grader a Bible -- an adult Bible, with very little study helps or annotations. This book is exactly what my third graders need to help them begin to understand and appreciate God's Word. Although it's written in language the kids can understand, it doesn't talk down to them. My daughter, who has both the NIV and NIrV Kids' Study Bible, also loves this book. I liked this book so much, I bought the adult version for myself. I also purchased the reproducible timelines, maps, etc. These will be a tremendous help in both my personal Bible study and my Sunday School class.

Summary: Great resource, teaching tool & reference
Review: This is one of those books where the kids version is better than the adults version! It breaks down the Bible, into sections and sub-sections. For example, it introduces the 1st 5 books of the Old Testament as the Books of the Law, explains why they are called that, the main points, the main people, an outline of what happens in each chapter- and then it goes a wonderful step further, and links in known historical information, a map of 'Where It All Happened', and other pertinent information about the world at that time. The same format is followed for each Book of the Bible. Within each book there are small illustrations & summaries of the main events in each chapter, which are surprisingly well done- not off-putting to an adult, very accessible to a child. The reference materials at the end- a good dictionary of words that one doesn't often see outside of the Bible!, Bible geography, good time lines of the Old & New Testaments, and an amazing 16 pages of good color pictures tucked away at the end make this book a must! There are bits that are clearly written for children, and the section on 'Becoming God's Child' may or may not fit exactly with your view of things, but don't be put off by those: this is a great tool for getting to grips with a lot of information.
