Kids in the Bible

Kids are part of God's special plan!

Miriam, Samuel, young Jesus—the Bible is full of stories about kids! In fact, it’s one big story about a parent (God) and His children. Some of these kids have become grown-ups who, of course, still need God as their true Father. And some of the kids in the Bible are actual kids!

Featuring Caroline Saunders’s delightful storytelling, these thirty-three stories—some favorites and some surprises—show how God loves to do His big work through smallish people. Explore the lives and adventures of a young warrior and a brave queen, a boy in a basket and three boys in a fire, a girl who lived again, and one change-the-world-forever Baby. With each story, readers will see that kids like them are part of God’s special plan to bless the world!
