Reading the Action Bible
As I’m reading the Bible more myself lately, I realize how much I want my kids to fall in love with it themselves. Over these past few years of homeschooling, we have memorized a few bible verses and will read them bible stories as they come along. But the BEST thing we (I mean my husband!) did thus far, has been to read this entire Action Bible to our boys! Nick started it over the winter with them & recently finished reading the entire thing. They LOVED it. The graphics are beautiful and so engaging for children, especially boys. I love how much they remember from reading this, and will still spend hours flipping through it.
I remember hearing Sally Clarkson say, “let your kids catch you reading the Bible. In the morning when they come downstairs or when they say goodnight to you.” That stuck with me SO much. Yes! That is what I want! And she advises you can fake it til you make it, just have a bible open when they see you.
The other day my preschooler and toddler were playing “bible,” with each other, having their bibles open and pretending to read from them. So I see the fruits that can come from reading and opening the Bible to our kids. I’m so grateful my husband took the time to read this to our boys, and I’m looking forward to continuing the tradition!
There are so many great children’s one out there! Whats your favorite bible for kids?
