Summary

Learning how to read the Bible can (and should) be fun!

From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible is alive! God has been using these words to help His people know and love Him more for thousands of years. But because the Bible was written so long ago, it may feel confusing or hard to read.

Discovering the Bible teaches kids that each book of the Bible is written a little differently––in various genres. Some books tell stories, others contain poetry, some are lists of laws or letters, and a few even reveal the future!  Throughout this book, kids will learn things like . . .

•  Each book of the Bible’s genre
• The context of every book in Scripture
• How to ask the right questions when reading a particular book
• How to practice studying the Bible in their daily lives

Whether kids take this book to church, use it in their quiet time or homeschool curriculum, or simply read it with a parent or friend, Discovering the Bible is a reliable Bible study companion. It will set a foundation for kids to read the Bible better, and therefore, know and love God more.
