A Grown-Up's Guide to Exploring the Bible With Children
Parents and caregivers who want to raise kids in the faith often feel ill-equipped, especially when it comes to talking about the Bible. How do they tell the stories in ways their kids can understand? What do they do with the questions (so many questions!) their kids will ask? And how do they make it something their kids actually want to do? Wonder addresses these pain points by combining creative Bible storytelling for kids, fun and engaging conversation prompts for families, and key contextual information for adults.
Instead of simply presenting Bible stories, as a children's Bible would, this book actually equips grownups to talk about the stories with children. Each story is accompanied by historical, literary, and cultural background to help parents understand the original form, audience, and intention for the story. Meredith frames each story to help grown-ups talk with kids about how the story's original audience would have understood it, so kids can understand the life-giving story the Bible invites us all into.
The book is organized into 52 stories for parents to work through with their children, and it can be used as a family devotional, but it can also simply be used as a reference book. She shares language to equip parents to talk about what to say when God doesn't seem to make sense. This is a long-awaited guide for helping kids fall in love with scripture.
Meredith Miller is a pastor and parent whose unique combination of seminary training, 20+ years' experience in family ministry, and research expertise make her especially equipped to help families get to know Jesus. Her ideas, scripts, and tips for talking about God and the Bible are practical and fun, making her a trusted voice for families who want to help their kids grow in faith in fresh, healthy ways.
Meredith is the Lead Pastor of Pomona Valley Church. Previously, she's been Curriculum Director for mega churches and a research assistant and consultant for the Fuller Youth Institute. Meredith holds a Masters of Divinity degree from Fuller Theological Seminary, as well as a B.A. in Religious Studies and Spanish Language & Literature from Westmont College.
