I have been meaning to share about a book we got recently, but today I have prompted to tell you RIGHT NOW. Why? Well, a book by the same writer is FREEEEE on Kindle today, so here's me telling you!
Recently, our poor Susie had an accident when riding a scooter, and got a nasty gash above her eye. What started out as nasty, but treated with glue, turned into something nastier. She got a swelling above her eye that wouldn't go down like normal swelling, then she got a raised temperature and became quite poorly a week later.
I took her to the Dr, who sent her to the paeds ward in the hospital. It transpires she had an abscess, which then needed a hospital admission and surgical intervention to clear it.
Very kindly, the Church we were visiting when it happened (they have a games evening for children), sent a gift to Susie, to wish her a speedy recovery.
It was "The Gospel Story Bible", by Marty Machowski.
It's a fab book. It goes through the many stories of the Bible, at a level suitable for children. More to the point, it brings "the gospel" into each one. It points them to Christ, and tells them of their need of the Saviour. What better story book can you have, than one that makes THAT application for boys and girls?
I highly recommend the book, and there are 156 stories, which is LOADS! I worked out, with our 4 day week, that there are nearly enough to do a whole year of devotionals to tie in with our school day!
You could use it in Children's Ministry, too. There is even a Bible curriculum with printable PDF resources, suitable for all ages of Sunday School. ( I could only find it in the USA)
Well, what I found out today, is that she has written OTHER books, and one of them is FREE on Kindle today!
Long Story Short.
No, I'm not about to tell you something briefly.
It's the title of the book!
This is a family devotional, again bringing the gospel clearly into the stories. It is based on the Old Testament, and points the children towards Christ through it all. It seems like it's also really good, and I can't wait to use it with the children.
Of course, if you read this when the offer is gone, you can still get it as a hard copy, from Amazon USA, and from Amazon UK.
But, today (and I don't know how long the offer will last), it is free both on Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk , so not only on one side of the Atlantic! (which does happen! - and usually the OTHER side of the Atlantic)
Now come on... WHO doesn't like something for FREEEEE????
Better still, a good quality Bible book for children?
Perfect combo, in my opinion.
Now, go off. Run as fast as you can to your device of choice and get it ON there!
And, if you are too late, consider buying the hard copy, because these are books worth having in your home, as you raise your children for the Lord. (See the carousel below)
Hi Caroline,
ReplyDeleteYou've been gone a while now. I hope things simply are okay-but-hectic at your end.
Two Bible passages have come to mind whilst I've been praying for you: Isaiah 61:1-7 and Psalm 24. In the Message, Ps24v5 is translated:
"God is at their side; with God's help they make it."
Love and prayers,
Jenny
