It's impossible to see in the dark. We need a light to shine out and show us the way. Sometimes trying to understand or do difficult things is a bit like being in the dark. This book contains thirty Bible readings and activities on the theme of Jesus' birth and ministry, with stories and teaching drawn from both the Old and New Testament. It is one of four titles in a range of Bible reading books designed for 5-7s. The theme is explored by looking at Advent and the Christmas story, and the theme of dark and light, present in Genesis and revealed in Jesus. Each of five distinct topics is covered in six double page spreads, comprising the Bible passage and a choice of related activities. The activities are based on things to do alone in the book, things to find or see related to the Bible passage, things to do with the whole family or with a group of friends and imagination or meditation idea. Each unit is followed by a prayer jotter, giving a prayer idea and a journal for the child to record their own journey of discovery.
