Remembering God's People: A Kids Bible Story from 1 Chronicles About Family, Remembering, and King David. KJV Verses Included. Ages 3-8

Most people skip the lists. This whole book is built out of them.1 Chronicles opens with page after page of names, and it looks like the dullest thing in the Bible until somebody explains what it actually is. It is a family album. It goes all the way back to the very first name anyone remembered, and it walks forward, family by family, until it reaches a shepherd boy who grew up to be king.Along the way a little girl unrolls a scroll on her grandmother's lap, a scribe writes down names nobody else thought were important, a choir sings in a stone courtyard while the gatekeepers stand quietly at the door, and a golden chest comes home down a hillside road with harps and horns and dancing. At the end, an old king gathers stone and cedar and gold for a building he already knows he will never walk into, and hands the whole thing on to his son with a blessing.Inside this book: - A very long list of names, and why not one of them is boring- The singers, the gatekeepers and the carriers who never got a crown- All twelve families gathering to make David king- A thank you song written on a good day- 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 passages for older readers of 8 to 12 to look up on their own.Book 13 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.
