Exploring the Bible (Paperback) by

God has given us an immeasurable gift—his very words, recorded in the Bible for us to read. Structured reading plans provide a great way to read through the whole Bible, but they're usually not designed with kids in mind. In Exploring the Bible: A Bible Reading Plan for Kids, David Murray presents a simplified way to read the Bible by offering younger readers a plan tailored just for them. His 365-day plan guides children through key passages from Genesis to Revelation, helping them see and appreciate the big-picture storyline of the Bible. Each passage is also followed by a question to answer or a verse to write out, as well as space to write out a prayer— encouraging interaction with the text. This book will instill in children the habit of being in direct contact with God's Word each day, equipping the next generation by laying the groundwork for a lifetime of Bible reading.

Exploring the Bible

I bought this book for my 5 year old as I wanted to gently introduce her to having daily bible readings. This book has daily bible readings Monday–Saturday for 1 year, and then on Sunday a place to write simple notes in church. The readings also start in Genesis and go through every book to Revelation, so they get a nice overview of the books of the bible, and also become more familiar with where things are in the bible and flicking through it more confidently. What I love about it is that the reading is just 5 verses, and there is one simple question with enough space to write an answer in one or two sentences. It wouldn’t be a huge long thing for my 5 year old. Just getting her into a routine of spending time in her bible everyday. The only reason for giving it 4 stars instead of 5, is that it’s not the most visually appealing book. If it was really pretty and fun looking for a child it would have gotten a 5, but then my husband really likes the design so maybe it’s just me. But in terms of content it’s great.
