We received yet another great family resource from Master Books this month. I really like this book and will surely be using it with my boys throughout the years to come. It's in essence a Bible story book for children. It's a bit more wordy than the typical children's Bible story book. I like that. It helps focus on and teach one story at a time which should help them learn and apply the Biblical principles easier.
The Family Illustrated Bible also contains background information pages that will be especially helpful in our homeschooling Biblical studies. It's full of great illustration and offers plenty to teach and learn.
For example, among the stories taken from the book of Acts there is a page with a timeline, and explanations of the early church and the key people involved in it's foundation. Among the stories taken from Genesis, there is information about ancient Egypt, the Pharaohs, and the Nile River. You'll learn facts like that the Nile River flooded every year just in time to plant crops in the well watered land and that the Israelites spent 430 years in Egypt before being led out to the Promised Land by Moses. It's the perfect way to tie Biblical study to the study of history.
My husband was especially taken with this book. He remembers having a similar book when he was younger and reading it as a young child and continuing to read and learn from it over the years.

Important Note: Our #teachthetruth events have attracted skeptics and people in need of Jesus. We are turning their involvement into an opportunity to pray for them. You will see us use “1:18 crowd” as a reminder to pray. 1:18 refers to 1 Corinthians 1:18 “For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.” It will help us remember that they are in darkness and need a Savior.
