My First ABC Book of Bible Verses

Introduce preschoolers to the wonderful truth of Scripture with My First ABC Book of Bible Verses.

Jonathan Gibson helps toddlers and preschoolers learn key Bible verses along with their ABCs. Each letter of the alphabet has a bright, captivatingly illustrated page with a short, foundational Bible verse to be memorized and a simple sentence that helps explain the verse.

Parents, grandparents, and caregivers will love to use this book to teach the littlest ones foundational truths in a fun, easy-to-remember way. By committing these big truths to their little hearts and minds, toddlers and preschoolers will be able to ground their young faith in God's Word, which will guide them in the years to come. Children will learn from the earliest age who made them, why they need Jesus, how to become a child of God, what to do when they are afraid, and many more life-changing truths.

My First ABC Book of Bible Verses is the first book in the Big Truths for Little Minds series, which introduces children ages 3–5 to basic concepts of the Christian faith.

• Toddler- and preschool-friendly introduction to Scripture memory.
• Engaging illustrations by Michael Mullan will capture and hold young children's attention.
• Written by a seminary professor and father of four.

ENDORSEMENTS:

"Fantastic! My pastor and daddy's heart thrilled to see, read, and enjoy these ABCs. What a remarkable project—and marriage of simplicity and wisdom. Perhaps only a scholar and adoring father like Jonny could so ably select the right twenty-six verses and so succinctly explain them—both for our children and for us parents."
David Mathis, Senior Teacher, desiringGod.org; pastor, Cities Church, St. Paul, MN; author of Habits of Grace: Enjoying Jesus through the Spiritual Disciplines

"Trust a wise Old Testament Professor like Jonny Gibson to produce a book for children that does what God himself does in his Word: help young people learn his truth by connecting some of its verses to the different letters of the alphabet. It still is an enjoyable way to learn Scripture by heart. And what's even better, the verses will probably never be forgotten. With its attractive illustrations, simple lessons, and, best of all, great Scripture texts, My First ABC Book of Bible Verses will last our children for a lifetime."
Sinclair B Ferguson, Preaching associate, Trinity Church, Aberdeen, Scotland
