The Year of the Bible and Children
Here are some ways you can immerse your family
in God’s Word:
• Find a good children’s Bible and use this as your bedtime read throughout the year. A good one is The Children’s Bible in 365 Stories.
• Older children who are better readers can follow the Year of the Bible by reading the New Testament and Psalms. Or even the whole Bible!
• Model a love for the Bible by letting children see you read (and live) it regularly.

• Look for teachable moments! At home or in the car, sing songs about Bible people and events. Many praise lyrics come directly from Scripture verses.
• Pray! Ask God to give your children a hunger for His Word.
• Memorize favorite verses. Help them hide God’s Word in their hearts. (See Psalm 119:11).
• Look for ways to help family members apply the Bible to their daily lives.
• Remember to look for the Sunday school take-home pages and follow up on what they learn
each week.
