Resource: Learning the Books of the Bible

Spring is crazy at my house. Gardening pleasures get added to the to-do list. Both girls have birthdays within 2 weeks and around those celebrations is Spring Break and Easter. The number of special events packed into 3 weeks leaves little time for blogging. Today I don't have long but I so appreciate you that I wanted to give you something. Today is a resource day.

Part of raising a girl to love God is teaching the scripture. And part of reading scripture is being comfortable with it. If we enter a setting where the teacher says, turn to Jude, it is always more comfortable if we can find it. I never memorized the books of the Bible as a kid, and while the embarrassment lasted only for a moment, I envied the kids who knew right where to turn.

So I set out to teach my girls (and myself) the books of the Bible. There are many Book of the Bible songs, but here's the one we found most helpful.  I don't know this lovely young lady, but I so appreciate her sharing her mom's creativity. Enjoy!
Memorizing the books of the Bible won't increase your daughter's faith or enrich your prayer life. It's extra. So I was wondering, do you know all the books of the Bible? Did you teach your kids? How did you/they learn them?

  2. I like the Bible Book Bop song by Go Fish, as well. Growing up I had to memorize the books of the Bible for school - comes in handy at church when trying to find the scripture!
