Bible Story Time with Mimi

episode 30: The Forgiving Prince, Joseph and his brothers ... The Jesus Storybook Bible: Every Story Whispers His Name, by Sally Lloyd-Jones (with Henry age 4)

"While other kids’ Bibles contain stories from the Old and New Testaments, The Jesus Storybook Bible tells the Story beneath all the stories in the Bible, pointing to Jesus as our Savior. From the Old Testament through the New Testament, as the Story unfolds, children will clearly see that Jesus is at the center of God's great story of salvation—and at the center of their story too."

episode 29: God’s Big World (with Henry age 4)

Published by World News Group, https://godsbigworld.wng.org/

"God’s Big WORLD is the one-of-a-kind current events program for beginning readers. God’s Big WORLD is designed, written, and illustrated to satisfy a young child's God-given thirst for knowledge, and to do so in meaningful, and developmentally appropriate ways.

The colorful magazines (six bimonthly issues delivered year-round) are designed to pull apart into eight convenient weekly lessons. Each lesson includes three stories and a skill-building activity. The big pictures ignite children’s interest, and the controlled vocabulary in the accompanying text builds confidence in early readers. A Read to Me section takes the content a bit deeper. This additional information is written for adults to share out loud with pre- and early readers.

God’s Big WORLD also includes safe and easy-to-use online materials. Use a computer or mobile device to let your early reader explore the fascinating stories and more pictures (with captions) than the printed pages hold. 

The stories in God's Big WORLD cover a wide variety of topics throughout the year. Story by story, your child’s sphere of knowledge will grow and deepen. But regardless of the topic, every story includes a related Bible verse to read with your child, showing how God’s word is relevant to all of life."

Episode 26: God Made Me AND You: Celebrating God’s Design for Ethnic Diversity, by Shai Linne

God Made Me AND You: Celebrating God's Design for Ethnic Diversity

"This beautifully illustrated children's book invites kids to explore God's design for ethnic diversity and challenges readers both parents and children to learn and live out counter-cultural, biblical views, fostering a lifelong celebration of diversity for the glory of God. Designed for four to eleven-year-olds, God Made Me and You by Shai Linne is the second book in the God Made Me series, starting with God Made All of Me by Justin and Lindsey Holcomb.

Because biblical Scripture teaches that ethnic diversity is not something that should be tolerated but rather enthusiastically embraced, Christian hip hop artist Shai Linne helps children, parents, and caregivers to celebrate this biblical truth through a lyrical, rhyming style and colorful illustrations."
