Most young children, at some stage, are fascinated with numbers. They want to count each step as they climb the stairs or find out how many peas remain on their dinner plate. Much can be taught when a child's interest is aroused and much will be remembered when the learning involves fun.Bible Numbers introduces a dozen Bible stories for the numbers 1-12, using large, colourful illustrations, and provides a corresponding colouring page for each. At the end of the book the stories are rearranged into an order through which the gospel messge is presented. Very young children may simply enjoy the number associations while the more advanced can be taught the spiritual application. A verse relevant to each Bible truth is also suggested which may prove useful as a memory verse.

Many parents and teachers, and some schools, want to start with the Bible when educating their children.Based on the stories from A Bible Alphabet, the pages of this Busy Book provide opportunity for children who are beginning to express themselves in writing to develop the skill of sentence making, while their thoughts are firmly focused on biblical truths.Various types of structured writing activities are revisited at intervals, to inspire confidence, while the frequent use of open-ended questioning allows the more able child to experiment with his own vocabulary.Where A Bible Alphabet Activity Book caters for children at the 'talk and colour' stage of learning, A Bible Alphabet Busy Book is designed to entice aspiring young writers to sharpen their pencils…and get going!

Estimating greatness not by the usual standards of judgement, John Tallach retells the story of five lives: a German missionary in England who gave his life to the orphans of Bristol's slums; a Canadian girl who served the Lisu of China and died of cancer in 1957, recommending 'a peerless Master'; a rough Cornishman who came to 'say, sing and dance glory, glor', and left an unforgettable testimony to cheerful Christianity; a Yale undergraduate who lived to 'arrest the flow of Indian soulds rushing on to a lost eternity'; and, finally, a Scot who wandered the earth before he came to love Christ and the poor of Dundee more than he loved all else.These Christians are unrecorded in the world's annals of fame, but if the true principle of living Christianity is simple dependence upon God, and child-like faith, then their lives are eminent among those 'of whom the world is not worthy'. Living in different countries and at different times, they each became 'like little children', and God made them great.
