I’ve been teaching kids’ church classes for a long time. I started when I was in Jr. High, I helped my parents in the Sunday School class that they taught.

Have your children ever wondered what some of those words mean in the Christmas carols that we sing? When we were at church a few weeks ago, we were singing “Angels We Have Heard on High” and we got to the chorus part of “Gloria, In Excelsis Deo”.

Reading the Bible is such a great habit to build into kids. Having them read a little bit of the Bible each day gets God’s Word into their minds and hearts. Proverbs is a great book of the Bible to read in a month, since there are 31 chapters in the book and a lot of the months in the year have 31 days, your students could read one chapter a day.

When I was a kid, we used to watch the Bozo Show. Bozo was a clown and they had kids play different games on the show. We loved watching the kids win their prizes.

That’s why I created these Bible readers that follow nine of the fathers that are in the
