My First Hands-On Bible Is a Must

This year I have been a little obsessed with the goal of providing a Bible for every member of my family for Christmas.  Part of that goal has been to chose one that's suitable for that child or even adult, whether male or female and for there specific age group.  So far I'm doing really well.  I love that the Bible's available now have study points with them.  You'll see just what I mean with this next Bible.

My First Hands-On Bible is the preschooler version of the popular Hands-On Bible, which has sold over a half million copies.  Jesus taught with hands-on lessons and illustrations; My First Hands-On Bible uses the same experience-based learning to communicate God's Word in an active, understandable way.  My First Hands-On Bible is a fun and simple yet meaningful way to engage preschool, pre-K, and K children (ages 3-6) with the Bible while helping them build a solid faith foundation. Each lesson focuses on a specific Bible point through a variety of activities in order to reinforce and help young children remember the stories and lessons. Using common household items, you can help your children have a “hands-on” learning experience while engaging them in 85 key stories from the Bible. My First Hands-On Bible doesn’t just retell the Bible stories; it also includes actual Scripture from the easy-to-understand and easy-to-read Holy Bible, New Living Translation. In addition to the stories and

My thougths

My very first thought was why wasn't this Bible around when Ty was a child.  My second thought, heck why wasn't this around when I was a child. 

I love it.  I really do.  It features the New Living Translation, which I've become so used to in my own Bible I can't imagine reading the Kings James version anymore.  The hands on activities are really wonderful.  I think it's so important to talk about the lesson that your reading to your child and this book gives you the opportunity and leads to do just that.  They have even two fun characters "Pockets the kangaroo and Cuddles the lamb to lead you and your child in the activities with each Bible story, including prayer.

The stories are short and brief, just what you want for a preschooler.  If you are looking to share the Bible with a preschooler, I whole-heartily encourage you to take a look at My First Hands-On Bible.

Can I Share a Personal Family Moment With You

Thank goodness for the internet, facebook and a wonderful daughter-in law.  With families so spread out through the country and world for that matter, the internet can be such a blessing.  Without it we wouldn't be able to enjoy such a precious moment in our families life like this.  Our first grandchild Zach was baptized last Sunday.   What a wonderful birthday gift to his daddy, who's birthday was August 23rd.  God is so good.  Glory be to God!

What a beautiful place to be baptized.  They live in upper NY and this spot looks so peaceful.

Look how eager our precious grandson is.  Our hearts are bursting with joy!!!

Here is our beautiful grandson Zach preparing to be baptized in the name of Jesus.

He came home from church camp and had made the decision that he was ready to take this step. 

I love this sweet picture.

Our beautiful granddaughter Ki'a is growing up to be such a beautiful young lady.  I just want to cry when I think of all the times I've missed being with them.

My daughter-in-law Christal is such a good mother, always working hard to enroll the kids in activities and spending so much making sure they get there.  I'm so proud of my son for providing for his family and putting them first.  You both make us so proud!!!

Thank you Christal for being so deligent in documenting these precious moments. 

Thank you God for being present in the lives of our family and blessing us beyond measure.

God bless all of you and your families.  Love....Tracy :)
