Audiobooks
I’m mentioned a few times how much I love audiobooks. I find myself using normally unproductive time (while driving, or on a plane, for instance) and growing immensely. I wanted to let everyone know about a little treasure my friend, Tony Moss turned me onto a few years back.
This site gives away a free audiobook each month, and the prices on sale items have been great. Oh, and if you are driving, try using a voice recorder to take notes. This is safer than a notebook :)
Happy learning/growing/teaching!
Why are kids Bibles so lame?
Each night Kristin and I do storytime with Liv before bed. I must say though, the quality of many of the childrens storybook Bibles are pretty poor. I spent nearly an hour in a local Christian bookstore last year looking for one…and didn’t have much luck.
Well, since then, we have some progress and I figured my pain in searching might benefit someone out there. This is my top pick for childrens story Bibles:
The Beginners Bible
We have read through this over the last year. Short amount of words per page. Relatively accurate stories. Good length and content for up to 4 or 5 years old. Honestly, the writing wasn’t exceptional, but it did the trick and it was heaps better than most of the others we found.
Jesus Storybook
This is our new book. I LOVE it. The writing is great and the illustrations are excellent. Liv might be a little young for it, but it is working out. I’d say starting at age 4 or 5. I can’t vouch for the whole book yet though…since we are only on the second story :)
And for those of you who are bit older (like me….over the hill at 30), I recommend the MacArthur Study Bible…but I think I’ve mentioned that before.
