Today our readers have two opportunities to win a full Child Training Bible kit. Don’t miss the giveaway details at the end!
As Christian homeschoolers, we like the Bible to be at the center of our curriculum. We also use the Bible daily during meal times to read Scripture and talk about what the Lord would have us to learn. I was really excited when I saw people starting to talk about the Child Training Bible and I was really curious what it was about and how it worked. Well, I found out and LOVE it!
Here is what you will need to prepare your Child Training Bible (CTB): the kit from CTB site which costs $9.00, a Bible (whatever version you want!), highlighters, colored flags, a permanent marker, a pencil and a little bit of double-sided tape.
By taking the cards (in the upper right of the picture above) and highlighting the provided verse(s) for each character trait and putting a corresponding colored flag on the same page, you end up with what is called the “Child Training Bible” (as shown below).
The object is to have an easy reference for “training moments” with your children. If there is a character trait you need to discuss in an encouraging manner, you grab this Bible and go to the necessary tab. Then go one by one reading scripture to help understand what the Lord has to say about that particular trait.
For instance, if you want to discuss “Not Listening”, you open the Bible to the front and find the pink “Not Listening” on the right hand side (can be seen in picture above). You then go to the first pink tab on that side of the Bible and read the pink highlighted verse(s), then go to the next pink tab, so on and so forth.
Below is a picture of one of the pages when the CTB is complete. You can see the different colored highlighted verses that correspond to the different character traits, the tabs on the sides tell you which trait they discuss.
Personally, our family uses this as a “Family Training Bible” as it’s not really just for kids…we can all learn from what Scripture says about character!
Want to know who is behind the making of CTB? It is a fellow homeschool mom! Don’t you LOVE that? I know I do!
It does take some time to get this “ready to go” but it is well worth it to have something you can quickly grab when needed. Character training directly from the Bible is the best way to “raise up” our children.
Here’s praying you have fun learning!
Now for the giveaway!
I have one, full Child Training Bible kit to give away. The kit includes an English Standard Version pew Bible, laminated cards, Post-it tabs, highlighter pens and instructions – all that you need to put together your own CTB. Valued at approximately $31.11

Ok, now I clicked on what I’m supposed to reply about. 🙂 I have heard of the Bible, though I’m not sure where. I would probably use it most with my youngest, who is 5. Part of the value that I see in it is that they are seeing that your instruction is coming right from the word of God.
That is such a great thought! I love the idea that our kids would see our teachings come from God!!! I have never thought of it that way. Thank you for the new perspective!
This looks like an awesome tool to use in training our children with the word of God. Thanks!!!
I have heard about the Child Training Bible before on Confessions of a Homeschooler and was very interested. Thanks for the giveaway!
I’ve heard of this Bible and have really wanted to get one for our family…here’s to hoping I win this giveaway! Thanks!

Sibling bickering is a problem I am constantly dealing with. This bible training kit would be a huge blessing (and time saver) for my family and I.
I would love to win this! I have wanted one for a while and it would really help with some issues we are dealing with right now.
So wish I could win. I’ve lusted over it for months on pinterest…it’s just not in our budget right now to purchase, sad I know
This quick reference would be great for our whole family. What I think is so great is that the kids could also use this easily and find just what they need. They will be learning that all wisdom comes straight from the Word.
Saw this a few weeks ago at a convention LOVE it! Such a great and useful tool.
What a fantastic product!
I have been seeing this online at pintrest.com for a while now, thanks for the review and break down of how it works! I’m very excited to use this!
I have not heard of the CTB before, but think it is an amazing idea. I know I get frustrated at times, by just saying no or disciplining my child without knowing of a verse that can help them see how God feels about certain things. This would be a blessing beyond measure to receive for my family. Thanks for thinking of this giveaway!
Looks like a fantastic resource!

I have heard of the CTB before – I think I first heard of it from a blog I follow, then I became a fan of it on facebook and researched their website as well! This kit would help to challenge our entire family. My husband and I are constantly looking for ways to integrate biblical truth into our own lives, such as verse memory, and have an 8 month old daughter and baby on the way who would benefit greatly from this as well!
I’m looking forward to helping my children learn to find scripture on their own!
It is our job to teach our children God’s Word. They need to prepare for each circumstance of life. Thy Word have I hide in my heart…
I have heard of the CTB. I LOVE the idea. I have been looking for something like this for years just wishing that all of the knowledge of the Bible would be implanted into my brain for use at just the right moment.

I am sooooo glad I followed the link on Hodgepodge that led me over here. I just followed you on pinterest, and entered your giveaway. Now, I am going back to pinterest to check out some of your pins, they look so helpful 🙂 Thank you
this looks great – thank you!
Can anyone tell me if this includes the books from the Catholic Bible as well?
I just love the idea of this! Especially since it isnt something ONLY a child could benefit from, but the adults can be reminded of Gods word as well!
I would love to take a closer look at incorporating this into my summer Bible classes with our combined ages of 4-12. I have developed a program that I call Bible Buddies that pairs up a middle or high school student with 1-2 younger students. I set Bible related learning centers and they work through the centers together. This helps the older ones begin to learn how to teach and also allows them to learn. I could see this as a learning center that would benefit all age groups and they would take the Bible home at the end.
