   I'm giving away two books to one blessed reader today!  Here's more about the two books I'm giving away so you'll know what you will be winning:

    Children these days are drawn in to gaming, television, iPods and iPads, and YouTube. 

    Will they show an interest in reading the Bible with their family?

    I believe the answer to that question is:  YES! 

    We began reading little Bible books with our children when they were just tiny - probably around 8-9 months old.  One of them LOVED to be read to, even though we knew she didn't fully understand what was being read.  She loved the snuggle time and couch time with both her mommy and her daddy each evening before bed.

    The other daughter was an active, energetic little one, and it was more difficult to encourage her to sit still for a few minutes of prayer and Bible time with Mom and Dad and sister.

    Even though it was tougher for our energetic bundle of joy, our expectations as parents were the same for both girls.  We just knew that it would take longer for one of the girls to learn to settle down and begin to enjoy reading Bible events with us.  And that was okay.  We were willing to teach her how to sit and focus for a few minutes at a time when she was very young.  It's an important skill anyway, right?  ☺


    I've been taking a look at The Big Picture Interactive Bible Storybook for children ages 4-8.  While my daughters are past this age, I love to share with you some of the new Bible resources for handing our faith in Jesus down to our children!  I would love to use this with future grandchildren some day. 


    Here are some details about The Big Picture Interactive Bible Storybook:

•  Features 145 illustrated Bible lessons
• Each lesson features a "Christ Connection" that shows children how God's plan for salvation through Jesus appears throughout the Bible
• Free download to the Interactive Bible Storybook App that brings the art and lesson to life both visually and audibly
• Jenna Lucado, daughter of well-known Christian author, Max Lucado, provides narration to more greatly engage children in the Interactive Bible Storybook App
• Engaging questions at the bottom of each Bible lesson
  

Here's a sample of a two-page spread (one lesson):

    You can see from the sample how the layout of the lessons is done for parents (and grandparents).  This will help determine if this material is age-appropriate or developmentally appropriate for your own children and grandchildren.

    Along with The Big Picture Interactive Bible Storybook comes another new book that works side by side with this one:  The Big Picture of What God Has Always Wanted:

    The purpose of The Big Picture of What God Has Always Wanted is a kid-friendly, Reader's Digest version of the Bible for children.  Eighteen kid-friendly pages summarize the Bible and God's purpose for His will in our lives - that we would all become Christ-followers and share Christ's message of love and salvation with others in our lives.
