Summer Bible Reading

We don't follow the school calendar, so we continue Table Time through the entire year. I like to think of our year as matching the seasons...and summer starts next week!

For the weeks of summer, I plan to read the kids the New Testament. I really like this version because it is written at third grade reading level, even I can understand it! We also have some "Life of Jesus" CDs. Daniel pulled a box out of storage and I found our "Picture Smart Bible"...each book of the Bible has been hand-drawn by a professional Christian artist to summarize the book and help the mind get a "big picture" of each book, making it easier to remember the parts of each book.

John wants to read "The Westing Game" by Ellen Raskin to the family, so we might do that after dinner each night.

Fun times ahead!

Free Bible Lessons-Adventures in the Holy Bible

I was looking for a family Bible study that isn't a "study"...something a little more simple and I found it! Your Story Hour offers free Bible lessons called "Adventures in the Holy Bible". I'm loving it! Because we follow history chronologically, we happen to be moving into the first century and studying Jesus' life. Just what I was looking for on two fronts!

One page story for easy reading at Table Time and then a quiz we fill out together. There are 52 lessons. You get FREE audio CDs for lessons completed. When you finish all the lessons, you'll have the entire "Life of Jesus" CD set - for FREE! If you already have the "Bible Comes Alive" series, these recordings are found on albums 4 and 5. You can do the online version, or send your lessons through the mail and have them mail back new lessons. We chose this version so we can receive some mail! And we all enjoying getting our free CD! After finishing all 52 lessons, they send the case to hold all the CDs. Fun!

If you do the FREE Bible program via mail, please consider sending a donation to help cover postage if you are able.
