Bible Gems to Remember Illustrated Bible: 52 Stories with Easy Bible Memory in 5 Words or Less

by 






Scripture is filled with “gemstones”—concise statements of five words or less that hold great value, meaning, and power. Bible Gems to Remember Illustrated Bible, written by Robin Schmitt and illustrated by Kris Aro McLeod, takes children through 52 stories from the Bible, each featuring a powerful gem from Scripture to memorize.

God can accomplish amazing things with just a few words. Imagine what he could do in the heart of a child who memorizes and meditates on these short “gems” of wisdom from the Bible.

Bible Gems to Remember Illustrated Bible:

> Offers 52 stories from the Bible, one for each week of the year, enhanced with beautiful gemstone photos that encourage children to memorize Scripture
> Includes more related gems to ponder at the end of each Bible story above and beyond the featured gemstone verse
> Is creatively based on Scripture “gemstones” that are concise statements of five words or less that hold great value, meaning, and power
> Features a gorgeous cover
 

My thoughts:  BIBLE GEMS TO REMEMBER ILLUSTRATED BIBLE is  a Bible story book with memory verses!  I love  the idea behind this, but I  must say the "gemstones" make  me want jellybeans!

The verses are short, reworded or paraphrased, to make them easy for toddlers to learn. Such as "God created the world." or "Listen to his voice." Or "Seek  the Lord and  live."

I'd like it if they capitalized the pronoun referring to God.

There are 52 Bible stories included in this colorful book, one for each week  of the year, making it ideal for Sunday School  or children's church lessons.  And unlike some Bible story books, children shouldn't find the  pictures  scary. Recommended.

I was given a copy free. All opinions are my own.

My thoughts:  This BIBLE GEMS TO REMEMBER  DEVOTIONAL FOR KIDS is a lot deeper than I expected for a kids devotional. They are written simply, so even a younger child can understand, but yet they contain more meat than a lot of adult devotionals. I was pleasantly surprised!  

There are 52 devotions, if you want to do one a week (like for a short kid's lesson at a Christian club or backyard club) or you can use them for daily devotions. The verses are considerably edited, to make it simple memorization. Like "There is a God." "Trust God." They are designed for today's kids with short attention spans and no ability to memorize long passages.

However, I do not think the cover sparkles and shines.

A nice concept but I was taught God should be capitalized when referring to our Heavenly Father as God.
