We own WAY, WAY, WAY to many bibles.
I know that sounds like a backwards statement,
But it’s true.
I think if I stacked up all the bibles in one pile it would tower over my two year old.
It’s almost as if we keep purchasing them in HOPES
that they will somehow, by sheer volume,
touch our lives and bring us closer to God.
I believe I’d already said that we have the same misconceptions about cleaning products too….
more cleaning products = cleaner house
Of course it’s obvious that the missing ingredient to that formula is ACTUALLY USING them.
Well, today I wanted to share with you one that actually does get used….by our entire family!
The Illustrated Children’s Bible
By Tommy Nelson Publishing
It’s quickly become our Go-To bible.
The one that gets opened.
The one that gets read.
The one that gets put way high up on the shelf because little peanut butter fingers so desperately want to feel the pages.
This bible sells for about $35.00 so it was a thoughtful purchase for us.
Actually,it was the first bible I prayed over before I even took it home.
I wanted so much to have a “Family Bible.” I prayed that God would lead me to just the right one.
Something we could all sit around and read together.
One that held a keepsake quality, while still engaging my young children. (CEV version)
One that could also serve as our Classroom Bible during our history lessons.
I wanted to share in case you too were looking for a little jump-start to your new year.
This would be a great time to start reading a bible reading plan with your little ones!
Here is a chronological reading plan to get you started.
(You can also find one on YouVersion)
Wow. That IS a beautiful Bible. Thanks for showing us.
I wish I had seen this before buying my girls Bibles for Christmas. Thanks for showing us.
I’m new to blogging and I think this is the most precious blog i have ran into. Sometimes very little on a page can be a really big blessing to many. Be blessed!!!
Thankyou ThankYOu ThAnkyOu!! I will go on ebay now to get this for our family.
One LOve…
I can relate on the Bible pile. Now with this post I’m not sure if you’ve blessed me or cursed me by introducing me to one I don’t yet have. I’ll have to look into it. I’m delighted for you that you found the right one that works so well with your family. Right now our favorite is the Tyndale House My Read and Rhyme Storybook Bible. But I’m sure as my girls get older that will change. Have you seen the children’s Bible from Master Books? That’s the newest to my shelves and it is gorgeous.
