This book has been written so that children can have their own Bible Study book to work though on their own, in a group, or with a teacher, to teach children about the Bible.

The lessons are presented in a way that we :

(a) generate curiosity and grow a love for Jesus and His Word. 

(b) teach them Bible stories and memorise scriptures, 

(c) discover Bible Truths, and 

(d) learn that the whole Bible has cross references of the same themes and values, and it’s importance.

These lessons were generically written with no particular age group in mind, but is very well suited to adapt for any age group. We have used it from 3-15 year old, with great success. We found this especially helpful for smaller Sunday Schools, Bible studies and home schooling, where they had more than one age group in a class.

  

We will be adding more books to this range, keep an eye on our facebook page or website for updated news: ww.whatafriend.co.za

About the Author:

From an early age, I loved the Bible and the stories in it. Needless to say, Sunday School was my favourite time of the week!

Although my parents went to church every Sunday and took me to Sunday School, they were really only converted powerfully converted when I was seven years old. The Lord led them to another church where the Holy Spirit was working freely and where one could grow spiritually.

Of course I could not understand it at that age and was crazy about my current Sunday School.

Every Sunday for the next two months, my parents dropped me at their old church and then went to attend their new church. After Sunday School, they picked me up again. One Sunday, on our way to church, my father asked me if I did not want to come and try out the new church. They also had a Sunday School, and he was sure I would be happy there.

I did not want to give in easily, but my father then promised me that if I gave the new Sunday School only one chance, he would never again ask me to go with them. It did not sound too bad, and even as a child, I understood negotiations: once would not kill me, as long as my father would take me back to my old Sunday School afterwards.

The next Sunday, I went with them to the new church - a little weepy and not in the mood for new people, but I was sure I was going to be back at my old class the next Sunday. Little did I know that I was going to have a real encounter with God on that day and experience the power of the Holy Spirit for the first time in my life! It was a Sunday School lesson that I still have not forgotten after 30 years.

The Sunday School teacher had made two hearts out of fabric, one black and one white. She filled the white heart with little feathers, and the black heart with pebbles. In this way, she explained to us the concept of sin, confession and forgiveness. Each time a sin was confessed, she took a pebble from the black heart and added a feather to the white heart. Such a simple concept, but there and then a whole new world opened up for me.

Of course, I never returned to my old Sunday School. I could not wait to go to the new Sunday School the next week and so it was throughout my whole school career.

If one Sunday school lesson could have such an impact on someone's life,  can you imagine what a year can do? 

May you and the children receive the same blessings from these lessons, as I received as a child.

Good luck and may God bless you!
