Tuesday’s EMA book recommendations
We want to highlight three books to help you get kids reading. This is an area that many in ministry rarely consider, but is essential to the life and health of the local church.
Every child should start with Bible stories and that’s where we’ve got to get the younger members of our congregations reading. There are lots of different options, but we’re particularly keen on The Gospel Story Bible by Marty Machowski which gives faithful renderings of Bible stories together with their setting in the overall Bible story pointing to Jesus.
Everything a child should know about God by Kenneth Taylor is a newly illustrated version of an old classic, helping young children aged 3-6 learn key gospel truths. It’s a ‘great tool to complement children’s Bible stories’. For slightly older children, The Ology by Marty Machowski and Andy McGuire is a wonderfully illustrated book of truth. Importantly, those who use it say that the children are as captivated by the illustrations as adults.
