The Multi-Colored Promise

Children learn in different ways. Many children are visual learners. They read and listen to stories from the Bible week after week. How many times are they able to see these stories from the Bible?

This book will help children with the visual perspective of the familiar story of Noah and the flood. While reading this book, they will be able to visually see each scene from God’s unhappiness with the people during Noah’s time to God’s instructions to Noah as well as the events following the flood after the ground dried up.

The images with the words will help children understand more about what happened during the time of Noah and the great flood.

What others are saying:

Too often, Christians have turned Noah’s Ark into a fairytale. You might get the idea that Noah was starting a floating petting zoo and his only problem was keeping out the rain. I love Bible story books that put the focus back on God and how he told the story. That’s what I appreciate about this little volume. The illustrations and text prompt the imagination without washing out the real facts of Noah’s Ark. It points us back to a God who will judge sin, but provides an escape for all who turn back to Him.

Savannah Goes to Children’s Worship

Transitions can be difficult for young children. They get used to one class, and then as they grow older, it is time for them to move on to another class or group. Those transition times can be stressful and emotional on young lives.

This book will help give young children an idea of what to expect in children’s worship. This book teaches about the importance of tithing and daily devotion times. It will help parents remember to set aside special at-home Bible teaching times to reinforce children’s worship lessons.

Praise for Savannah Goes to Children’s Worship

“I highly recommend this book! It is well written and perfect for helping children and their parents prepare for transitioning into big kids worship. Loved it!”
Carol Wooten, School Counselor, Columbia, Tennessee and former children’s minister in Seattle, Washington

“A delightful story about a five year old girl as she anticipates her first day of attending children’s worship at church. Brenna Phillips does a wonderful job of describing the transition children experience when moving from early childhood classes to multiage worship experiences. Savannah Goes to Children’s Worship is a truly helpful book full of practical lessons related to giving, personal responsibility, and shared worship and Bible study.”
