Praise for BIG PICTURE CRAFTS
Joey Cochran, Pastor of Middle School Discipleship and Communication, Calvary Memorial Church, Oak Park, Illinois:
Big Picture Bible Crafts invites children to enter into the story of redemption—experiencing the majesty of God and the beauty of the gospel—in a tactile way. We love the simple supply lists and instructions that make it easy for us to tell our children a Bible story and do a craft during family worship.
Iain M. Duguid, Professor of Old Testament, Westminster Theological Seminary; author, Numbers: God’s Presence in the Wilderness:
As someone who is craft challenged, I love this resource. It takes the biblical stories and makes them come alive in a kaleidoscope of activities designed to engage and stimulate the youngest members of the church community.
Haley Hatai, Former Kids’ Director, Garden City Church, Santa Clara, California:
Big Picture Bible Crafts provides fun and creative crafts to accompany 101 stories from the Bible! Crafts are an easy way for kids to connect with what is taught during a lesson. One of my favorite features of this book is the different levels provided for each craft to match different age groups. It is also a great time saver—you do not need to comb through the internet to find ideas. This book will be a helpful resource to meet any teacher’s needs.
