There are now resources available for the study of the Bible’s message that span the ages, from toddler to adult.  I can highly recommend what I’ve listed below.  You can find them in our bookstore beginning March 22, 2009 or order them from this site—http://www.wtsbooks.com/

David Helm.  The Big Picture Story Bible.  (Crossway, 2004).  This is an excellent introduction to the Bible for young children.

Sally Lloyd-Jones. The Jesus Storybook Bible.  (ZonderKidz, 2007).  A “biblical theology” for kids with great content and outstanding artwork.  You can read it to pre-readers and get your new readers to read it to you.  Adults will learn much from this simplified yet comprehensive outline of the Bible’s message.

Vaughn Roberts. God’s Big Picture: Tracing the Storyline of the Bible (InterVarsity Press, 2003).  This book is short and does a great job of painting the big picture.  It’s written simply and is useful for any reader teenaged or older.

Graeme Goldsworthy.  According to Plan: The Unfolding Revelation of God in the Bible—An Introductory Biblical Theology.  (InterVarsity Press, 2002).  Goldworthy was one of my introductions to biblical theology and all his books have been very helpful to me.  He’s a seminary professor who knows how to teach without technical language.  This book began as a course that he taught in his local church.  I highly recommend it for anyone high school and older.
