The Ten Commandments serve as the building blocks for the Christian life, so it's never too soon to begin teaching them to young children. Easy-to-understand language, engaging illustrations, and clear descriptions let little ones save God's rules in their own hearts for a lifetime of living the right way. Children will draw closer to God and grow good relationships with family and friends as they learn God's Top Ten rules, including "Worship God--not things" and "Be good to your parents, obey them, and show them your love." In the back-of-the-book, there’s a “Dig Deeper” section so kids can discover why God made these rules and how they can best follow them. What’s more, a fun quiz at the end of the book lets readers see how much they've learned and gives grown-ups an opportunity to discuss God's great love for everyone and His expectations for our words and actions. A perfect way for parents, homeschoolers, teachers, grandparents, and friends to introduce the Ten Commandments to their children.
