My spouse and I often go to Deseret Industries, which really is a thrift store run by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This thrift store accepts donations of all kinds and sells them. All profits go towards humanitarian projects. On day we found a guide of Bible stories for children. This book is a huge wonderful addition to your library. Although it was not published by an LDS publishing company and some of our beliefs aren't represented in the book we have discovered that it is a good way to simply help our two- year-old son learn about the stories that are in the Bible.

Our son really enjoys another book we found called, "Today I Saw a Prophet" ;.The book is quite dated because the prophet mentioned is President Spencer W. Kimball, however, our son does recognize him in pictures and could be the only real two-year-old who can.

We have a few of the old standbys such as for example "Illustrated Book of Mormon Stories" that children in the church have already been learning from for years abstinence in the Bible. It really helps teach principles and stories when the language are simpler with accompanying pictures.

We have discovered that having a variety of stories to read has been helpful to ensure that on Sunday afternoons when our kids want to watch movies we are able to pull out good books of both LDS and non-LDS stories.

The theme of Religious Children's books is quite dear to your heart because during The holiday season I'd the chance to illustrate a tale my mother had written years ago in regards to the star of Bethlehem as a Christmas gift for my mother. My wife's mother in addition has written several children's books that are geared to a broader audience of Christians, and not merely Mormons.

Our son enjoys the illustrations and often learns a tale well enough to inform it himself by looking at the pictures. Then repeats in conversations things he has learned all about Jesus, prayer, or being good. Not totally all religious children's books teach the same doctrines, so we as parents have tried to be sure we agree with what a book teaches before presenting it to your children.

Although all religious children's books don't teach identical doctrine, they do promote good principles and moral behavior. This prepares children for growing up and learn scripture stories on the own.
