Great guidelines. I love both the Jesus Story Bible and the Big Picture Story Bible because I think they are pretty faithful to the biblical meaning. I've never been a fan of Veggie Tales-type Bible stories because I want the kids to take the Bible seriously, and I think it's hard to take talking veggies seriously. (They have some great non-Biblical but moral stuff.) Thanks for sharing at the #LMMLinkup.

My kids are grown now, but I had the same concerns about children's Bible stories when mine were little. I really tried to keep strictly to the story and find books that had realistic looking pix rather than cartoons. It's hard enough to help children learn that the stories from the Bible are different from fairy tales without teaching showing them cartoonish pictures. Great advice and questions to keep in mind … maybe for the grandkids!! 🙂

Jaime,
I totally agree with you. We water down Christianity. We water down Christ. The Bible is your best resource. Wonderful suggestions. I hope my newest children's book teaches children to live in the Kingdom of God with their gifts and to rely on Him always. Prayer is an important part of my story.
blessings,
Janis

These are fantastic questions to ask when screening these materials, Jaime. With so many parents serving as homeschool parents as well, it is so wise to screen materials carefully before using them!
blessings, friend!

Great post and Blog Hop. I loved sharing Bible stories with my children, too. Whether it was Awana, S.S. or at home, they really do learn fast. Thanks for sharing your great post at Together on Tuesdays 🙂
