Enthusiastically appraised by Christian parents, children’s workers and church leaders alike, this nine-week course, broken down into five-day, fifteen-minute chunks takes readers on a multi-media ride through the whole bible for the whole family. The Ollertons have recognised the crisis in children’s reading in this generation and produced a realistic resource that will appeal to boys and girls (5+) by linking the text of the book (using QR codes) to optional video and audio resources as well as further materials for church or home use.
For the purist, it also stands very much on its own as a book to read from cover to cover and offers no cheap alternative to grappling with the text of scripture which is encouraged on day five of each week - Memory-Verse day.
The chapters follow an identical and memorable structure weaving our own experience together with the stories in the bible, tying them to God’s broader purposes and looping back again to accessible application. Four actions round things up: Read It (the passage itself is printed for you), Discuss It (assuming a parent’s guidance); Pray It (a suggested text is provided) and finally, Do It (an action is suggested).
Written in a gently humorous but biblically rigorous style, the particular strength of this book is that it does just what it says on the tin - it shows how God’s story links with our story today as followers of Jesus.

If you are just trying to get into the habit of family devotions with your young children, this is a wonderful resource to get you started! Each of the 9 weeks has 5 days of material with the last day focusing on Scripture memory. The lessons are short & introduce your littles to the story of God in Scripture. Highlighting some well-known & a few lesser-known stories, the authors help point your heart to the Gospel throughout.
