Books with author Mary-Kate

The Bible can be overwhelming.There are 66 books, written by over 40 different authors.It's easy to see how children (& adults!) get confused when studying the different characters, stories, and teachings of the Bible...Imagine picking up one of Shakespeare's books and trying to read page 200, then page 10, then page 150... It wouldn't make any sense!Yet, this is what we do with the Bible! We hop around and go "out of order".Abraham one day, David the next, and Jesus the following week. It can seem like these men all walked side-by-side, but in fact they lived 1,000 years apart!The two things missing from most Bible lessons are PLACEMENT & CONTEXT.Our Books of the Bible Reference Sheets were designed to provide context to each of the 66 books of the Bible.Each book has it's own one-page "cheat sheet" full of the who-what-when-where-why background information. They provide the necessary background to frame how a particular lesson fits into God's historic story.They are the ultimate companion to ANY Bible lesson.
