MotherGoose Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 My children go to church, Sunday school, etc. I'm interested in starting our day with something from the Bible, but not necessarily a full-scale Bible Study. We have used Grapevine (too time-consuming) and just reading the Bible daily from a children's Bible, followed by prayer. Those of you that say you do Bible daily, what do you do? How much time do you spend on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angie in VA Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 If your religious beliefs permit images of Jesus, you might like this. I have the hardback book and audio cds. We love the British narrator. "One ticket to not Nineveh." Love how he says that line! There are dvds for this out now too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angie in VA Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 If you like Veggie Tales (my kids and I never did), you might like What's in the BIble? You could get the dvds one at a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rachel Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 We are using an older devotional book, "Leading Little Ones to God". My husband paraphrases the lesson and reads the appropriate verses with the kids during supper. We spend maybe 10-15 minutes per day on it. My kids are 6,4, & 2 and it works well for them. It may be a little basic for a 3rd grader but I think you could make it work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"One ticket to not Nineveh." Love how he says that line! There are dvds for this out now too. I LOVE David Suchet! We have this story bible and cds. Love them! As for the K'er and 3rd grader, we use Catherine Vos's Story Bible (my school aged kids are 1st and 3rd). We'll finish it by December and I plan on having the kids start reading their own bibles daily. I was using Suffer the Children but decided to stop for this year. We'll pick up that series when my kids are older. Instead we're working on our catechism and creeds. Starr Meade has some great resources for the Heidelberg and the Westminster Shorter Catechism. She also has a family devotion book called Mighty Acts of God if you're interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Right now I'm reading through The Story for Kids with my kids. It's like a storybook Bible, but it uses the NIrV translation and is compiled to read like a novel. We read one chapter on Monday and they narrate what happened. Then on Tuesday I read the Companion and we mark a map and timeline with the events/places from the chapter we read. We repeat with a new chapter for Wednesday-Thursday. The Companion is designed with the fuller version they have of The Story for adults, so I do occasionally skip parts in the companion that cover parts that were left out of the kids version. But I find it does a good job of going over what we can learn about God, what was the cultural background, what was really going on. Since there are only 31 chapters, we'll finish long before our school year is done. Once we finish, I plan on doing more in depth study of some of the historical books of the OT.

ScoutTN Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 We have enjoyed Long Story Short and Old Story New by Marty Machowski. Short but still substantive. Reformed. Also like anything by Nancy Guthrie and love the Jesus Storybook Bible as mentioned upthread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cricket Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 We also use Catherine Vos' The Child's Story Bible (Reformed bent). Then we follow Penny Gardner's list. http://www.pennygardner.com/bible.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
