The “Little Me, Big God” series of children’s books from
the Good Book Company contains three volumes (thus far): The Man Who Would Not Be Quiet!, Never Too
Little!, and The Best Thing to Do! All
three are written by Steph Williams. These sturdy paperbacks are just right for
beginning readers or for reading to even younger children. These three books will go to my two-year-old
niece for Christmas. (Don’t tell her!)
Each page of the book has colorful pictures and short sentences
– one or two sentences per page. At the
end of the book, there is a section of “notes for grown-ups” to help grown-ups
explain what the story means and how to respond to it. Also included is the biblical text from the
NIV version – which would be good to read to the child, as well as the book to
encourage recognition of the Scripture and to encourage learning to hear and
understand it.
The
Man Who Would Not Be Quiet! Is a telling of the story of Blind
Bartimaeus. The child learns that there are some things – such as Jesus being
the Savior – that are worth shouting about.
Never
Too Little! Is a telling of the children coming to
Jesus. The child learns that he or she
is not too little to come to Jesus and ask for His salvation.
The
Best Thing to Do! Is a telling of the story of Mary and
Martha. The child learns that the best
thing to do is to listen to Jesus.
This
are a great series of books, and I encourage you to buy them and give them to
the little ones in your family. Who
knows, their parents may come to Jesus through reading to their children.
