This is a fantastic little booklet. It's fun. It's clear. It answers all the questions about the Bible that you were afraid to ask in case you sounded stupid. And best of all, it will help you to start reading the Bible for yourself. I wish someone had given it to me when I was 10 years old.
A Short Guide to the Bible is the perfect primer to come alongside tweens as they get into God's Word. It's practical, clear, foundational, and engaging, and it wisely counsels kids through aspects of the Bible that may overwhelm them. I cannot wait to give it to my own kids and the kids at my church!
Katy Morgan’s A Short Guide to the Bible is, indeed, short. But that doesn’t mean the reader gets shortchanged. This guide provides 8-12 year olds with all they need to know to read the Bible with understanding, to explore its big story and to apply it to their lives. A handy companion to any Bible!
