Bible Stories and
Crafts by Mary Tucker and Kim Rankin. Teacher Created Resources, 2004.
144 pages. For children 7-11. The purpose of this book is to help teachers keep
students interested as they present Bible stories children may already have
heard more than once. The authors accomplish this purpose by presenting the
stories in creative ways -- using visual aids, interviews, pantomimes, action
rhymes, walk-abouts, skits, or telling the story with props, drawing sketches on
the board, and more. There is also a fun craft to accompany each story. I
can testify that these help children remember stories, since I still remember
making the armor of god (Ephesians) when I was in Vacation Bible School in the
fifth grade. And that was over 50 years ago. Also included with each story are
discussion questions and a related memory verse. Stories from both Old and New
testaments are included. Student pages are reproducible for classroom use.

supplementation. BTH-2492. $8.99-D
Jesus is My Best Friend
by Mary Tucker. Teacher Created Resources, 2002. 80 pages. The ten lessons in
this book involve children in Bible activities designed to help them discover
for themselves that Jesus loves, understands, cares, protects, and provides for
them. Each lesson begins with a story about Jesus, and the stories are presented
in creative ways to keep children interested. After each story is a related
memory verse, and there is also a related bulletin board suggestion. To
reinforce the stories there are puzzles, crafts, songs, action rhymes, and other
activities children enjoy. Each lesson stands on its own, but they may, of
course, be taught consecutively. Perfect for vacation Bible school, after school
Bible clubs, and Sunday School supplementation. BTH-2493. $8.99-D
World
History Made Simple: Matching History with the Bible by Ruth Beechick.
Mott Media, 2006. This book is best described by the author in her preface:
"This book is an attempt to condense for today's students my journey from
1961 [when she read Morris' The Genesis Flood] and to pull together in readable
form what I see at this time to be the best and most Biblical view of world
history. I explain how our history got mixed up in the first place and how the
Bible is the best tool for straightening it out. " The book was written for
teenage students, but adults may also find reading it to be valuable. It can be
used by anyone in grades five and up. The author suggests working through the
first four chapters sequentially without a break and dropping for that time
whatever other curriculum you are using in history (since it provides a
framework for other history) and language arts (since this study involves
reading, discussing, listening, writing, spelling, vocabulary, and critical
thinking.) 121 pages. BTH-3180 . $12.56-D
