Draw young children closer to God each day

Meet the Pens characters!

These imaginatively illustrated, undated, daily Bible-reading notes for 3- to 6-year-olds feature our new googly-eyed Pens characters based on pens, pencils and other things that make life colourful.

The Pens – Gloria Glitter Pen, Denzil the Pencil, Charlotte Chalk, Marco Marker, Splodge, Squiggle and a whole host of others – bring the Bible to life with stories from Scripture and from the Pens' own experiences, combined with insightful comments.

Related questions and simple prayers apply the readings to daily life.

Creative and fun for parents and grandparents to use, Pens will help preschool children learn to enjoy daily Bible reading and develop a love for God's Word.

Written in four sections, two focusing on the lives of Pens and two on Bible characters, these undated, 30-day devotionals will teach young children more about God and His Word.

In this edition, we see that God chooses to make each one of us part of His people, His big family on earth, so we belong to Him.

Topics include:

• 'If Trouble Comes': Pens help Sticky search for his lost shelter and learn that not only will God help us in trouble but we should also help each other
• 'The Path Through The Sea – God rescues His people': the story of God seeing the troubles of the Israelites, His people, and rescuing them when they trust in Him
• 'God and Me': the Pens find out what it means to belong to God – to share His nature, to live like Him, and to be chosen to be part of His big family
• 'Believe and See – Jesus heals a man who is blind': the story of the man who trusted Jesus and had faith that He would make him see again.
