Primary Components - Children’s Bible Reading May 7, 2007
Posted by Erin in : Family Worship Series , trackbackJoe,
We are nearing the end of the components section, but I wanted to mention another area that is very helpful for those families with young children. And that area is the reading of the children’s Bible.
We believe that no matter how young the children, the reading of the adult Bible is still applicable. But in addition, the children’s Bible really helps young ones by using pictures and language that can bring God’s Word to life for children. There are different set-ups for different “levels” of children’s Bibles as well. Some of the ones intended for younger readers are set up in chapters that cover large sections of the Bible at time. While others, like the ESV children’s Bible, correspond more with the adult Bible.
We do not make our adult Bible reading and our children’s Bible reading match. Since we still have young ones, we are reading a children’s Bible that covers large areas of Scripture in one chapter. So we simply read a chapter a day and continue on until we reach the end and then start over. Now when special seasons come around, like Christmas or Easter, we will skip around to read specific chapters.
When we get to the recommendations we will offer up a number of different children’s Bibles.
Reading God’s Word in as many ways as possible,
Erin
