God's Book of Wisdom: A Kids Bible Story from Proverbs About Kindness, Honesty, and Making Wise Choices. KJV Verses Included. Ages 3-8

The twentieth book of the Bible is not a story. It is a pile of very short, very practical sayings about how to get through one ordinary day well.A king named Solomon gathered hundreds of them, and almost none of them are about kings. They are about the market stall, the workshop, the kitchen, the doorstep and the narrow lane. What to say when somebody snaps at you. Whether to do the job now or later. Who to walk home with. What to do with money when you have some.That is what makes Proverbs such a good book for a small child. Every saying is short enough to remember and close enough to today to try out before bedtime. A soft answer turns away anger. A friend loves you all the time, not only on the good days. Go and watch an ant, and notice that nobody has to tell it to get started. Honest weights on the scales are something God actually delights in, even though nobody at the market would ever know.And underneath all of it sits the one sentence the whole book is built on: trust God with your whole heart, and do not lean on how much you think you have worked out. You cannot see round the corner in the road. He can.Inside this book: - A grandfather in a shaded courtyard explaining where wisdom starts- A carpenter guiding his son's hands along a plane- A soft answer that stops an argument in a narrow lane- Honest scales, hanging exactly level, at a busy grain stall- An ant carrying a single grain, getting on with it unasked- The right word at the right time, and a lamp chosen over a chest of gold- A King James Version verse to learn together, with the reference- Three questions, words to know, a short prayer, and a Read It Yourself page for ages 8 to 12Written for ages 3 to 8 to be read aloud, with a back page of King James Version proverbs for older readers of 8 to 12 to look up on their own.Book 20 of 66 in KJV Bible Adventures for Kids - one picture book for every book of the Bible, in order, from Genesis to Revelation.From Guy Charlie Books, a small, veteran-owned publisher.
