A Little Child's Book Shall Lead Them: Using Children's Stories to Teach the Bible - Paperback

Children of all ages love stories. Simple stories that are memorable spark imagination and delight. They invite engagement with the content and the characters. The stories have the potential to change the way we view the world and ourselves. A Little Child's Book Shall Lead Them summarizes close to 100 children's stories and connects them with the timeless stories of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. Each children's story is explicitly connected with a Bible story or passage. The stories are followed by suggested activities and questions that lead to new ways of working with Scripture, growing Christian faith and understanding. The book is designed to be an easily used resource for pastors, parents, and educators. "A treasure trove of resources for Christian Formation: for Bible 101, for multi-generational skits, for a 'Message for All Ages, ' for training Sunday School Teachers. This is a must for church resource centers and pastor's libraries." Rev. Dr. Betsy Waters, author, school psychologist, and United Church of Christ pastor. "As I read this book, I had many "ah-hah" moments-when a children's story gave me a fresh way of making sense of a biblical story. I was reminded of the power of love-God's love made known in Jesus, lessons about love from so many books, and the love in our families and churches. A great book for church school and equally great for families to learn together." Rev. Dr. Deborah L. Clark, UCC Pastor
