Shoebox Kids books
The Bible is full of stories from long ago. And while it's fun to learn about the people and places, it's also important to see how what the Bible says affects the way we live today—especially if we are trying to be friends of Jesus.
Shoebox Kids Bible Stories help you do both. Every chapter is a double story—first, a story from the Bible, then a story from today that shows one of the lessons that Bible story can teach us. That story—with the Shoebox Kids—is about learning what the Bible really means—at home, at school, or on the playground.
