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 issue:

The Praise Game: (based on verses from the Psalms) Pens encourage Henry Highlighter to think of all the reasons why he (and we) can praise God; 

No Worries – God’s in charge: Pens learn about Jesus’ command not to worry in his sermon on the mount; Grateful to God: Sharpy misses out on all the fun of a safari with Pens when he is concerned solely with seeing hippopotamuses; 

The Day The World Changed – Adam and Eve in the garden: learn about how Adam and Eve disappointed God and had to leave the beautiful garden of Eden.
