Embracing a Simpler Life in Light of Eternity

Join us as we look at:

Resources for Children

As mentioned in this podcast episode, we've found some great children's Bibles to help our kids connect with God's word from a young age. Here are a few of our favorites.

In order from youngest child to oldest:

Read Aloud Bible Stories for Kids (all volumes), great for ages 2-4

Jesus Storybook Bible, for ages 4-6+

Children's Easy-to-Read Bible, for ages 5-7+

NIrV Kids' Quest Study Bible, for ages 7+

Resources for Adults

The Story: Using excerpted scriptures, this Bible tells the story of God in a chronological, over-view fashion.

One Year Chronological Bible: This Bible is reorganized into what scholars believe to be chronological order and divided into 365 daily readings. This is what Katie is reading this year.

And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

This is what the Lord says:

“Let not the wise boast of their wisdom or the strong boast of their strength or the rich boast of their riches, but let the one who boasts boast about this: that they have the understanding to know me, that I am the Lord, who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on earth, for in these I delight,” declares the Lord.
