My ABC Bible Verses: Hiding God’s Word in Little Hearts

I’m always looking for new and different resources to use for our morning Bible time around the breakfast table. I first heard about My ABC Bible Verses on a Christian radio broadcast and placed it on my wishlist. I recently purchased it and am so glad that I did. We are almost to the end of it now and have been incredibly blessed by it. Not only does this book provide morning devotional material for us, but it is also a valuable tool for memorizing Scripture.

The author, Susan Hunt, has chosen one Bible verse for each letter of the alphabet. Accompanying each verse is a short story that demonstrates how the Scripture is applicable in daily, real life situations that are common to children. Each of these twenty-six stories follows the everyday childhood joys and trials of Missy and Bill, a brother and sister whose parents continually show them how God wants to use His Word to make them more like Jesus.

Here is the layout of each day’s reading:

  • the verse for the day
  • a short (two or three sentence) explanation of the verse
  • the story
  • a “Let’s Talk” section with two or three questions you can discuss with your child, which help to cement the truth and application of that day’s Scripture
  • a prompt to say the day’s verse three times in order to memorize it
  • a built-in review of a few of the verses that have already been memorized (This has helped us to retain so much Scripture!)
  • a “Let’s Pray” section that serves as a reminder to ask God for help in applying the day’s verse to your life

Although this book is said to be written for children ages three to seven, my nine-year old looks forward to and thoroughly enjoys each day’s story, as do his five and seven-year old sisters. When we finish this book, we will have twenty-six Bible verses hidden in our hearts, and we will have learned how to apply these Scriptures in our daily lives.

If you try out My ABC Bible Verses, I pray that you will be as blessed by it as our family has been!

    Shannon, this is one of my favorite devotional books with our boys. We’ve read it over 5 times now and one of my sons asked to receive Jesus in His heart the first time we read “X”. I frequently give it away as birthday gift. 🙂

    Wanted to mention I appreciate that it emphasizes it is “the Holy Spirit” who gives us the grace to obey and apply these verses. what a wonderful lesson for kids to learn early on and that is often not taught.
