“Direct your children onto the right path, and when they are older, they will not leave it.” Proverbs 22:6, NLT
This passage is so much easier said than done, but it is vital for the kids in our lives. One of the best ways to help kids get onto the “right path” is by helping them engage with God’s Word and then continuing to encourage them as they grow so that it becomes a natural part of their lives, a daily habit.
This, too, is easier said than done thanks to busy schedules, lots of distractions, school work, etc. We have some Bibles that we think will help kids (and teens!) not only read the Bible but also enjoy spending time in God’s Word. Here are a few ideas:
