My boys like to get dirty.
They like to try things, fix things, build things.
They are hands-on, all the time.
And that is how they learn and remember.
I’m sure many of your boys are the same, and that is why you need to know about the latest Bible from the gifted people at Tyndale House!
So why am I so excited about the Hands-On Bible? This pretty much sums it up:
The Hands-On Bible uses the same experience-based learning to communicate God’s Word in an active, understandable way. This new edition features updated tip-ins, a portable size for kids, an attractive cover, and online parenting helps. With hundreds of fun, memorable activities (A “Do-It” activity in EVERY feature!) and the full New Living Translation text, the Hands-On Bible is packed with activities that invite kids to crawl inside the Scriptures and experience God’s Word! (From the Tyndale House site)
I knew I loved this Bible (NLT edition) when I opened the front cover and read this: “Since this is your bible now, go ahead and trace your handprint on the page!” Hands-on right from the start!
Since the minute the Hands-On Bible came out of the box, I have not been able to keep my four-year-old away from it! And really, I have not wanted to put it down either! There is activity after activity after activity – hands-on ways to get the Word of God into our boys’ hearts.
My favorite lesson so far:
Isaiah 40:31 – “Strength to Fly”
It’s the old “push the back of your hands into the sides of a doorway and then let go” trick.
The lesson: Stop pushing so hard and God will lift you up and give you new strength!
I remember doing this little trick OVER and OVER again once my friends and I discovered it. Imagine the impact of attaching a Scripture and lesson to that experience – that will stick in a boy’s mind and heart!
Along with the meaningful experiments and experiences, the Hands-On Bible is full of fun illustrations, interesting facts and mini-devotionals. Lots going on to keep our boys active and interested in the Word! Who doesn’t love that?!
At the risk of sounding cliche, you DO need to get your hands on a Hands-On Bible!
