Our family is working through this book and I love it so much I just have to share. A, our 5 year old boy is definitely getting more out of it than L who is 3. But I think it still works to do as a family with younger ones. And L sure liked the shortbread cookies we made from the recipe the book gives! Anyway, Discovering Jesus in Genesis is set up sort of like a mystery. Each chapter starts out with a clue and the answer is found in a particular scripture passage. Heres the www.christianbook.com description:
The Bible is a wealth of wisdom and knowledge, but its most magnificent riches reveal much about Jesus---even in Genesis! Send your 4- to 8-year-olds on a treasure hunt through Scripture with Caleb and Cassie. Together they'll discover important truths about God's character, promises, and wonderful plan for his people.
My boys and I have been having a lot of fun finding Gods covenant promises all throughout the Bible. And yesterday after the question was asked, Are some people too bad to be saved? We had an awesome dinner discussion. In the end, we always come to a place where we remember what Christ did for us even though we are undeserving.
So, anyway.. I highly recommend this book. I just ordered Discovering Jesus in Exodus, so Ill let you know how that is once we get to it!
God bless your family devotions, family worship, circle time, Bible time or Bible curriculum. (Whatever you want to call it! J)
Note: I realize that this book is by the same author as the last book we posted about. I cant help it! She writes great stuff! I am working through all I can get my hands on. I recently finished Your Home a Place of Grace. You can check it out by clicking here. It is definitely a worthwhile read too! Thank you Susan Hunt.
