The Trinity
A few months ago I ordered Joey Allen’s book on the Trinityfrom her Big Thoughts for Little Thinkers series. It simple and yet deep—and analogy free. (I wish I’d bought the whole series.)

Here’s an interview with Joey on teaching children the doctrine of the Trinity (Credo Magazine.)

The Big Story
Carl Trueman recommends 66 Books One Story, a biblical theology for children. This book, he writes,

presents the basic theme and significance of every single book of the Bible.  It will not substitute for a good children’s story Bible or — of course — for the actual Bible; but it will help give children at a young age that great ‘big picture’ of the biblical story which will help them grow in their knowledge of God’s word.

Speaking of story Bibles, David Shaw evaluates two popular ones, The Big Picture Story Bible and The Jesus Storybook Bible, with regard to 

1. story bible text and Scripture
2. story bible images and Scripture
3. text and image within the story bible
4. the story bible and the child
