Reading to children is a simple way to infuse your home with the gospel story. If you have children at home, consider making it a habit to introduce Bible-based books into the daily rhythm of your family. If you don’t have children at home, consider giving some of these wonderfully rich books to relatives or as a baby gift!
Storybook Bibles
Storybook Bibles are a great way to introduce themes, characters, and the main storyline of scripture to even the youngest members of your household. While you might think it’s just for kids…these storybook Bibles can even help parents and grandparent connect the dots and see how all of the Bible is telling one story about his great redemption plan through Jesus Christ.
