Brad and I feel that one of the most important things we can teach our daughter is to know and love the Lord. She has always loved story time and reading age appropriate books with a religious message has been one of the best ways for us to introduce her to Him and facilitate discussing His message with her.
I was sent The Read and Share Bible by Tommy Nelson and I've very happy with it! Over 200 Bible stories are presented in a short format, usually one to two paragraphs. It's just the right amount of text for young children. At four ER can sit through several at a time, while one or two at a time would be suitable for a younger child.
The illustrations are bright, colorful, and will appeal to preschoolers. My favorite part about The Read and Share Bible, and what sets it apart from others, is the discussion starter with each story. I think it's a great tool for starting dialog with your child and helping them see the real meaning of the story.
Just like I've recently started a Daily Devotional, The Read and Share Bible by Tommy Nelson is ideal for daily study with our child. I think it'd be a great way to end the day each night before bedtime prayers. The title retails for $16.99 and is priced right to make it the perfect gift for a preschooler or for a baptism or dedication ceremony present to help new parents start their collection of children's religious titles.

ReplyDeleteMy children are pretty little yet, but one way I share God with them is singing "Jesus Loves Me" to them at bedtime. It calms my daughter down right away and she always asks me to sing it again. Sometimes she even sings along. It's the sweetest sound ever!
ReplyDeleteWe have a family devotion time each week and attend church every Sunday. We believe it is very important to teach children about God when they are young.

My favorite thing on the Thomas Nelson Website is the free printables. I love doing bible story activities through the day with my children. I also believe prayer is such a big impact on a childs life and we incorporate this into everything we do.
