A fun and powerful way to help children fall in love with the Bible
As Christian parents and leaders, one of our greatest desires is to see our children crave God's Word, wanting to read it on their own.
But forcing the kids to do it doesn't seem quite right. Many of us have tried nagging, begging, and bribing, only to find out that our son’s or daughter's Bible remains on the shelf... unread and collecting dust.
The Eat This Book Challenge was designed to take the families in your church on a 5-month journey through the New Testament, and ultimately ignite children's love for the Bible.
During this exciting journey children will:
-
Learn how to quiet themselves and get ready to meet with God on the pages of the Bible
-
Develop a regular habit of interacting with the Bible
-
Read from each of the 27 New Testament books
-
Memorize large portions of Scripture
-
Learn about some key people God used in translating the Bible into English
-
Keep a prayer journal
-
Support Bible translation with their own money
Ideal age range: 1-6 grade
The Eat This Book Challenge is primarily designed for a church, private school or homeschool co-op setting, but can be successfully used within individual families too.
