Other Great Kids Resources

I have posted in the past several books that we have used and are using with our children. I wanted to share a few more for those of you that may be looking for presents or for your own kids/toddlers. These are all solid in doctrinal truths.

We love to read this with our toddlers. The stories are just the right length, without too much text, and the pictures are beautiful.
You can go here to get your own.

Here is the Publisher's Description: No child is too young to begin learning about the greatest love story of all God's love for his people, as portrayed in the Bible. David R. Helm and Gail Schoonmaker collaborate to create a beautifully illustrated book of Bible stories especially for children, written with simplicity. Rather than simply retelling the most familiar short scenes from the Bible, this book presents the "big picture", the unified story running through the Old and New Testaments. This delightful book will help children learn the Bible's whole story and begin to appreciate the fulfillment of God's promise to his people. The Big Picture Bible Story Book is perfect for parents to read to their children, and eventually, for children to read on their own. It is an excellent way to introduce them to a book that will guide them through all of life.




My husband got these books at a conference. Our daughter loves them. They are teaching her about who God is. I would say that they are great for young toddlers- they are board books. Click here to see them all.

Nothing But the Blood

We love this CD at our house- even our kids- they enjoy dancing and singing to the songs. Music has a way of filling my mind and soul, so I have to watch what goes in!

All the songs on this and other Passion CDs are great, but this song speaks to my heart every time I hear it. The Gospel is powerful. Christ stands in my defense and has washed me clean! I am clean of all sin, guilt, shame. All is gone because of His blood.

Hebrews 10

Nothing But the Blood

Your blood speaks a better word
Than all the empty claims I’ve heard upon this earth
Speaks righteousness for me
And stands in my defense
Jesus it’s Your blood

[Chorus]
What can wash away our sins?
What can make us whole again?
Nothing but the blood
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
What can wash us pure as snow?
Welcomed as the friends of God
Nothing but Your blood
Nothing but Your blood King Jesus

Your cross testifies in grace
Tells of the Father’s heart to make a way for us
Now boldly we approach
Not by earthly confidence
It’s only Your blood

[Chorus]

We thank You for the blood
We thank You for the blood

We praise You for the blood
We praise You for the blood

Nothing but Your blood
Nothing but Your blood King Jesus
