User reviews
I thought Danika's book was great! This book was such an encouragement to me and gave me some great ideas to help aid me in my job to teach my kids the Bible. I appreciated that she walks through different subjects like:
Making the bible approachable for your kids
Appropriate reading for the different age groups (toddlers to high
school)
Building a daily routine
Seeing the bible as a whole
Exegesis ("...the study of the Bible, searching for the meaning
intended by the author."p. 101)
Asking good questions to facilitate learning
Memorizing Scripture
Praying the Word together
Not only are there some great topics that she discusses, but she also recommends some additional resources to help with your family Bible study. I also appreciated that the author ends her book with a chapter called, "Study the Word When You're Not Feeling It." We all know those days do come here and there, and Danika gives some ideas of what to do when we face those kinds of days.
I would definitely recommend this book as a great resource. It was encouraging to read through as I was contemplating how to implement Bible time into our schedule for our current homeschool year.
I received this complimentary book from Bethany House publishers. I was not required to write a positive review. All opinions are my own.
