Description
The Sweetest Thing of All
The sweetest things surround your little girl’s life: hearts and flowers, kittens and puppies, umbrellas and tea parties, kisses and hugs. But the sweetest thing of all in her life is God’s love.
The Sweetest Story Bible includes forty carefully selected Bible stories that show how much God loves his people and your little girl. Sweet thoughts to think about and easy Scripture verses to remember are included with each story to connect a little girl’s life to God’s Word. This storybook Bible will help her see just how wonderful God’s love really is.
My Thoughts
Awww. I really enjoy reading this book to my girls. The book is wonderfully illustrated, and as a mom of color, I really like the fact that the children in the illustrations are of different races. We read one story each evening before bed. I explain the verses that the story is taken from (I’m not sure they’ll ever remember, but it makes me feel good to associate the story with a specific part of the Bible.) and we review it after we’ve read it. Both girls have lots of things to say and questions to ask. They enjoy reading God’s word.
