We believe that children should learn about God from an early age and have His word in their hearts (Deuteronomy 6:6-9; Ephesians 6:4). This book aims to help parents, grandparents, Bible class teachers, and all those involved in teaching children to learn the scripture stories that have been passed down for centuries. Although we could have chosen any number of stories from the Bible, we have selected the ones that we believe will help young readers gain an overall understanding of the Bible. These stories are not word-for-word retellings but are summaries that we believe are true to Scripture and easy for young minds to understand. We use the word "story" to refer to an actual historical account, not in a fictional sense. We have included familiar and lesser-known stories essential to understanding the God who loves us so much. Our hope is that readers will keep these stories and accompanying drawings in their hearts and be reminded of God's love, inspiring them to love Him in return (1 John 4:19)!
