Helping kids fall in love with God and His Word as they study the Bible for themselves

Now more than ever, kids need to know and explore their Bibles.

Getting our kids engaged with Scripture early on is vital to their discipleship. In fact, research shows that Bible reading is the number one indicator for spiritual growth. Exploring the Earliest Gospel gives kids the chance and tools to know God through His Word.

In this kids' Bible study, Rebecca McLaughlin and her young theologian daughters Miranda (12) and Eliza (10) guide your kids through the book of Mark. This adult-child collaboration will help your kids see themselves not just as passive recipients of teaching from grown-ups, but active participants who can engage with the Bible for themselves. At its heart, Exploring the Earliest Gospel is a study of a person: Jesus. Through sixty-six days of fun and fast-paced study, your kids will get to understand more of Jesus' life, death, and resurrection.

Mark's Gospel was the first gospel to be written, and it's based on the memories of Jesus' disciple Peter. Since Peter was an act first, think later kind of guy, your kids will notice that Mark uses the word "immediately" a lot. This is an action-packed book! As your young disciples enter the stories that were written and meant for them, they will learn how to observe, interpret, and apply God's Word to their lives.

If you're looking for a theologically rich, accessible bible study that helps your kids know and fall in love with Jesus and paves the way to a lifelong love of God and the Bible, give them Exploring the Earliest Gospel.

Westminster Bookstore Note: This book contains cartoon or artistic images of Jesus. There are many people in our constituency who, in a sincere effort to honor the second commandment, refrain from the use of any kind of drawings or pictures of Jesus, even if not intended for a worship context. Out of respect for those who take this position, we have sought to add a note to books in our children’s category which have drawings or depictions of Jesus so that they can factor that into their buying decisions, as they would if they could inspect the books physically.

“I don't know of anyone better than Rebecca McLaughlin to take a book of the Bible and make it fun and accessible for kids without compromising any of its complexity or depth. Rebecca and her two daughters highlight the historical context, the structure, and the big-picture message in a way that will compel you to love God's Word, worship His Son, and join Him on His mission.

Not only will young readers find the truths of the gospel set out for them, but they'll be sharpened in how to study the Bible for themselves.

“What makes my heart sing the most about this Bible study is how Rebecca, Miranda, and Eliza highlighted Jesus in a way kids can relate to—a Savior who was rejected, faced peer pressure, and became a Hero who grew a kingdom family we ALL can belong to. Bravo!”

“Bible reading is one of the most important aspects in the life of the believer. However, passing this on to young Christians can prove challenging, which is why I'm so thankful for Rebecca's book Exploring the Earliest Gospel. This is an invaluable tool that can assist young believers in their understanding of God's Word. The depth and accessibility are excellent!”
