Awesome Bible Verses Every Kid Should Know

Everyone needs to be well-versed in the Word of God! This book pulls Bible verses together for 34 specific themes, like Creation, the Ten Commandments, discipline, and guarding your mind. Each theme is divided into several sections that help explain the topic and verses being discussed. These sections begin with the verses themselves and an introduction. Then they go into devotionals, with the following topics for each verse: "What I Think," "What God Wants Me to Know," "Look at It This Way," and a prayer. For instance, on the theme of anger, the book looks at Proverbs 22:24-25, 29:22; Ephesians 4:26-27; and James 1:19-20. The introduction speaks of how anger is a normal human emotion, but explains that it can lead to sin. Some common thoughts about anger are shared. Aspects of anger are discussed, including what it does in our lives and how it can be controlled. A story illustrates the danger of directing fleshly anger at other people. Finishing out the study is a prayer for God to help learning how to control anger and to show kindness to others. Written by Rebecca Lutzer (wife of Moody Church pastor Erwin Lutzer), this book can be a welcome addition to your family's devotional repertoire. 111 pgs, pb.
