All sorts of Questions – for children aged 11 – 13
“It is not only small children who ask lots of questions: we find all sorts of questions in the Bible, asked by all sorts of people. This book is intended to help young people to use their Bibles, finding things out for themselves. It is suitable for individuals or group use.”
God’s Kindness – for children aged 9 – 12
“When we see around us all that God has made: the plants, the animals, the sun, moon and stars, we know that God must be very wise and powerful. We might wonder whether this great and powerful God cares about people like us. One of the answers the Bible gives us, is to tell us that God is kind.”
How Can We Know God? – for children aged 11 – 14.
“The Bible tells us that God is our Creator and the Creator of all these wonderful things we see. This book is to help young people to find answers to some questions about God. One question that must be important to us, is whether such a great God could really care about us: the answer is there for you to find.”
Invitations To Accept or Reject – for children aged 9 – 12
“Sometimes we receive invitations to share in a friend’s special day. It may be a wedding or a birthday party, something we will look forward to. In this book we look at many of the invitations found in the Bible. In the New Testament we read of those who were called to come to the Lord Jesus.”
Joyful News – for children aged 9 – 12
“The Bible often uses the word ‘joy’ for happiness that does not go away, even when things are not going well. In fact, those who love the Lord Jesus are told to keep rejoicing (being joyful). In this book, we will read about some of the reasons the Bible gives us, for being joyful.”
People Who Prayed – for children aged 10 – 13
“In the Bible we read about many people who prayed. There were some who prayed to thank God for His goodness to them. Others prayed for help in times of danger or difficulty. God does not change. The God who answered prayer in Bible times still hears and answers prayer today.”
Promised – The Coming Saviour – for children aged 11 – 14
“After His resurrection, the Lord Jesus explained to some of His followers ‘in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself’ (Luke 24: 27). This means that we can read in all parts of the Old Testament, prophecies about the Lord Jesus. In this book we look at a small number of those prophecies, enough to clearly show that Jesus was the Saviour that God had promised to send.”
The Special House – The Story of the Temple – for children aged 9 – 12
“The true story of The Special House tells us of times of great joy and times of great sadness. It tells us of beautiful buildings and of buildings in ruins. The story of The Special House also tells us about men who God made strong and brave, and about others who were weak and foolish.”
What Happened There? – Events in Bible places – for children aged 11 – 14
“This book introduces thirty places mentioned in the Bible. As we read our Bibles, knowing a little about the places where events take place can add both interest and understanding. You may have read the Book of Acts, but have you noticed when and where the gospel first came to Europe?”
Wonderful Words and their meaning – 35 Bible words explained – for children aged 10 – 13
“There are some wonderful words in the Bible that have a lot to teach us, if only we will take the trouble to learn exactly what they mean. Some are quite long words like “justification” and “propitiation”; some are short words like “faith” or “sin”: are we sure of what the Bible means by these words?”
