What happened to the crippled man? (Acts 14:8-22)
He had been crippled all his life. When other boys could run and kick balls or jump over puddles, he could only watch them. I'm not sure that anybody cared very much about this cripple living in the city of Lystra, but God cared, and God cares about you too.
That cripple boy was a man now. His sandals never wore out, because he never walked on them. I'm sure he had sadness in his heart, but there was something else in his heart too. Maybe your heart is sad or maybe it's full of fun. But do you have this other secret in your heart too? You're probably asking, "What is the secret?"
The crippled man had something God values, and that something was "faith." He didn't wonder and hope that maybe God could heal him. He KNEW that God could heal him. Faith always know, and faith was the secret in his heart.
If you have faith, you are not wondering if maybe God can save you and take your sins away and make you one of His very own children. You KNOW you can trust His promise....
Publisher's Review:
| 1. Open Your Child’s Eyes to God’s Word | |
| God’s Word was written and is relevant for every generation. His stories are filled with details that teach us eternal lessons. Grandma Smith presents God’s stories straight from Scripture at a child’s “eye-level.” Have you ever stopped to notice the lamb that Nathan talked to David about? Do you enjoy the sweetness of the lesson that we learn from Samson’s honey? Have you considered how Elisha was rich but became far richer in a different way? Grandma Smith’s simple language and keen eye for detail place many spiritual lessons within reach for a child. | |
2. Start Your Child Meditating on the Right Material | |
| Childlike curiosity can be channeled in the right direction. Each of these 38 stories comes with several questions designed to encourage your child’s meditation on God’s Word and places to help you discuss it with them. One is a simple question related to the facts of the story they’ve just read. A second gets at a question that requires reflection. The third might make a great project for a homeschooler or a family activity. | |
3. Strengthen Your Child’s Quiet Time | |
| No doubt you are encouraging your child to regularly read God’s Word. God’s Wonderful Stories would make a nice accompaniment since they are filled with simple teaching, insights at a child’s level, and hundreds of pictures. Every story begins with an attractive full-color illustration meant to draw in a child. |
Summary: 38 Bible stories retold clearly for children include striking applications, coulour and black and white illustrations, and clear gospel presentations.
