Whether you’re in the market for your church’s children’s department or for your own family, searching for Christian Bible resources that are 1) theologically sound, and 2) enjoyable for kids to look at can be difficult. There are so many great options available today!
If you haven’t the time to do your research, I’ve put together a very brief list of simple books that are contextually clear, lyrically beautiful, and colorfully bound.
Most of these books will be found in my own home. Some of which are in my amazon cart right now for purchase.
I hope your children enjoy these books as much as mine do!
As a side note: If you’re looking to start teaching your children to pray, here’s an excellent prayer that we use in our home for each meal. Not only does it point your children to Jesus, it teaches them how to pray when they don’t yet have the words to speak to God.
Bibles
I’ve only included two Story Bibles in this post. The stories are very similar in length, but the illustrations are completely different. We use both of these in my home.
The Jesus Storybook Bible is smaller and easy for the kids to carry around the house. The Biggest Story Bible Storybook is much larger. We like to keep this on our kitchen counter where the kids sit for breakfast each morning.
The Biggest Story Bible Storybook
The rest of the resources listed are all hardback books, focusing on simple topics and messages for children. They are fun to read, and most importantly, teach biblical truths that explain who God is and why we are here.
