Books with author MaryE.Pearson

Bible Animal Tales is in the tradition of several classic children's devotional books by Mary Rose Pearson, including "Frogs in Pharaoh's Bed", "Seven Ducks in Dirty Water" and "All About God." It is suited for children 8-12 years old. In addition to an explanation of the Bible text, each devotional includes a delightful cartoon illustration, interesting facts about the featured animal, a personal application, as well as puzzles and games related to the Bible text. The book lends itself to a variety of uses. Parents can enjoy reading it with their children for family devotions, or children can read it alone. Churches can use it for Sunday school classes, children's church, or vacation Bible school. Home schoolers can use it to teach zoology from a creationist perspective along with the Bible. The devotionals build the faith of believers, but they also clearly present the gospel. 8-12 year olds make decisions that affect their lives and eternal destinies. Putting this book into their hands encourages them to choose God’s way.

Games are a valuable teaching tool. They bring variety, fun, and a change of pace to the classroom, yet they are not simply time fillers or "play" after the real "work" has been done. These Bible games teach Christian values such as cooperation, patience, friendship, and kindness. As they play, children absorb Bible truths, improve mental and physical skills, and learn to interact with other children and adults.
