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:
Right from Wrong: Marco learns about being forgiven for doing the wrong thing on a mountain-climbing trip;Elijah-the-Good -- When God stopped the rain: Elijah obeys God, who then miraculously supplies food to Elijah and a widow and her son; God’s Has Feelings, too:
Pens go to the fairground, and Splodge learns that how we treat others makes God either happy or sad;The Good Life – Making God happy: Jesus’ parable about the sheep and the goats.
