Families that share that common connection with God, whom the Bible calls love itself (1 John 4:8), are closer, more loving, more unified, and have far fewer serious problems among themselves than families that don’t. Why?—Because they have the most important things in common, besides a clear standard of right and wrong—the spiritual guidance and support they need to make the right decisions and stick to them.

Great to see resources to teach small kiddos. Just a request - some of us are not MS users. I myself am in linux. Many good things are MS pps based which we cant read in linux. I minister in a country that most dont have the money to buy MS windows or their software, I want to encourage when making resources save as ppt or use open office to write. (anyone can use open office and it is readable by ms. and Open office is free!) Thank you for what you do!

Looking for stores from Jesus for small children.

I recommend the Handy Bible: Parables of the Bible book: https://issuu.com/scandinaviapublishing/docs/parables_inside_pages

It has four of Jesus' parables: Lost Sheep, Lost Coin, Prodigal Son and House on the Rock.

It would have been great if it were in doc file to enable us to translate to other languages like kanarese of India.
Also great if it was in one whole set like ot and nt books

2/11/2022 10:44:42 am

Hi Tarun, I have two free OT and NT books on the site; they are made for slightly older children but you can adapt them for younger kids.

https://freekidstories.com/2022/01/07/the-life-of-jesus-for-children/
https://freekidstories.com/2018/09/14/old-testament-stories-children/

I have these two books and some of the stories in .doc format. If you give me your email address in a reply to this comment, I can send you the files I have. It would be great to have these Bible stories translated in more languages.

God bless!

I am looking for free Bibles for my private school students. Looking for help.

Just wondering if these stories are just meant for home /family use or if you allow these to be used in Sunday school / church crèche settings? It would be lovely to use these with the little ones at church.
Thanks

5/3/2016 04:22:20 pm

Hi Liz, I am not the owner of most of the material posted here but I will try answer the question as best I can:

"Tiny Bible Treasures" is courtesy of My Wonder Studio and their terms of use (http://www.mywonderstudio.com/terms-of-use/) only prohibits commercial use so I imagine you could use them in your Sunday School classes. "The Beatitudes" and "The Lord's Prayer are created by me and you are more than welcome to use them for Sunday School.

The images and text in the Powerpoints of Old and New Testament stories are copyrighted by Zondervan so I don't know if they can be used in a Sunday School setting. Most of the Baby Bibles are copyright Scandinavia Publishing; the company has kindly posted these for online viewing but not download so once again I don't know what the terms and conditions of use are. The other two Bibles (The Great Adventure Bible and First Baby Bible) are also owned by publishing companies (Aurora Productions and GoldQuill) so once again I'm not sure of the terms of use.

Sorry I can't be more help; I hope you are able to find the material you need for your church. God Bless!

Sincerely,
Lori
