Discovering the Bible - Mary Wiley

. .

Résumé :

Learning how to read the Bible can (and should) be fun!

From Genesis to Revelation, kids can learn how to read their full-text Bibles for themselves, developing strong habits of spending time with God and building a foundation of biblical literacy they can continue to grow throughout their lives.
This book is a helpful and tested guide for developing wise reading strategies for all of Scripture. Discovering the Bible teaches kids that each book of the Bible is written a little differently--in various genres. Some books tell stories, others contain poetry, some are lists of laws or letters, and a few even reveal the future! Throughout this book, kids will learn things like . . .

• How to start reading the Bible with confidence
• How to read in light of the different genres found in Scripture
• The context and summary of every book in the Bible
• How to ask the right questions when reading a particular book
• How to practice studying the Bible in their daily lives (including a worksheet to guide kids each time they read a passage)

• 365 passages to practice the reading strategy throughout a year
• A time-tested 52-week plan for use in small group with content and activity outlines or in family discipleship to aid kids in learning the Bible
• 104 key memory verses, two for each week of the year

Whether kids take this book to church, use it in their quiet time or homeschool curriculum, or simply read it on their own or with a parent or friend, Discovering the Bible is a reliable Bible study companion. It will set a foundation for kids to read the Bible better, and therefore, know and love God more.
