Online Children's Bible Stories


If you are a Christian and you have children, then you will want to do everything possible to instill a love of God in them. One way to do that is to help them become familiar with Bible stories, because in them is held knowledge and power. When children are very young, however, they do not have the skills to read the Bible themselves. Even when they get older, sometimes children do not like to read. There needs to be a way to reach young people in a manner that is accessible to them. That way is the audio bible. There are children's Bible stories available in audio formats that entice children to listen and learn.

There is an audio bible that comes in the New International Readers Version for Children. Using language appropriate to children, this audio bible comes in an audio drama version that adds multiple character voices, music and sound effects to bring these stories to life for kids.

Very young children respond well to stories and songs. There are audio bible stories and songs that are available in mp3 formats that come on a CD or can be downloaded onto an mp3 player.
You might have a computer, a home or car stereo and would like to utilize those systems for bringing God's Word into your children's daily activities. Now you can, with Childrens' Bible stories on audio CD. These will play on any CD player in your home or car that are mp3 compatible, many DVD players, and computers.

The audio Bible online can provide a fabulous way for your child to hear the Bible. You can get the Bible in a wide variety of versions and in over 250 different languages, and many of these come in an mp3 format. This type of file can be played on computers, mp3 players and cell phones. Your older child likely spends a vast amount of time each and every day utilizing all three of those technologies. Why not offer them an audio version of the Bible that they can download onto all of these devices, and listen to when they have free moments throughout the day?

If you are a pastor or missionary who is working with children for whom you are not a native-language speaker, it can be tough to get God's message across to them. Audio bibles can make a huge breakthrough in this regard. You could select the Spanish audio Bible, for example, and pop it into an electric- or solar-operated player, and be able to share Bible stories and Bible verses with them that you might otherwise not be able to do. Children are open to new ideas, and want to learn, so it is appropriate that you provide them with what they want, by utilizing the technology contained within an audio bible to share with them God's Word, so they can learn more and grow in their faith.

Susan Slobac is active in her Church bible study program and uses the audio Bible and children's Bible stories on audio CD to help foster children's interest in the Bible. Once Susan found the audio Bible online she realized the impact it could have in her Bible study.

My Abc Bible My ABC Prayers A Book Review

Bowman, along with illustrator Stacey Lamb, have taken an old idea and made it fresh. In My ABC Prayers every two-page spread features a whimsical illustration, a letter, and a five sentence "prayer." Most of these prayers are words of thanks, and most do a great job of using topics young children can relate to. Some are unexpected, too. For example, I'm not surprised to see a prayer of thanks for all of creation, or for the rain or sun. But Bowman also includes things like doctors ("Thank you, God, for DOCTORS/Who help me when I'm sick,/Who give me special medicine/So I feel better quick."). Some prayers stray away from thanks, and offer instead basic truths. For example, "O is for ONE./There's just ONE God who loves me,/There's just ONE God who cares./There's just ONE God in heaven/Who listens to my prayers."

My ABC Bible is similarly designed. Each letter of the alphabet is identified with one thing in the Bible. For example, "A is for ANIMALS" from Noah's ark, and "B is for BETHLEHEM,/Where Jesus Christ was born./See him in the manger/So cozy and warm?" Also mentioned are Joseph's coat of many colors, Daniel, Elijah, Goliath, Hannah, Isaac, Lazarus, Mary, fisherman's nets, plagues, Esther, rainbow, and more. Each is explained only briefly. For example: "R is for the pretty RAINBOW/See it up above,/Shining brightly in the sky/Showing us God's love?" and is designed to be a spring board for more conversation or reading on the topics.

What I Like: The fun, lighthearted illustrations, the introduction to prayers of thanks, and the basic biblical concepts presented in this duo.

What I Dislike: In My ABC Bible, "X is for EXCITED" isn't ideal. On the other hand, it would be pretty tough to find a word beginning with the letter X that also fits into a book about the Bible...

Audio Bibles - Hear God's Word on the Go

For as long as anyone can remember we have been studying the word of the God. The more we expose ourselves to it the more it will expose itself to us. It only makes sense that if we want to know God better it’s important to spend time hearing what He has to say. The Bible is His message to us. Is it any wonder that it is the most read book in the history of the world? It is a compilation of writings from 40 different people, including lowly shepherds, ignorant fishermen, and inspired holy men, and spreads God’s word through of exciting adventures, moving stories and parables, beautiful poetry, convicting messages and the hope-giving life story of Jesus Christ. It is the basis for all Christian faiths in the world today.

With today’s ever increasing technology combined with severe time crunches, we are becoming creative in finding new ways of doing old favorites. For many of us sitting down and reading the Bible is a thing of the past. There simply are not enough hours in the day. Increasing in popularity, Audio Bibles are quickly becoming one of the most powerful ways to make God’s words come alive. An Audio Bible is a compact disc (or series of discs), easily played in equipment that can be found in most households and vehicles. Audio Bibles offer a unique guided tour of the historical lands described throughout the Bible. Aided by a narrator, the stories of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the later Kings, the Prophets, as well as Jesus and his disciples bring another dimension to His holy words.

Audio Bibles are perfect for people who are always on the go and wouldn’t otherwise be able to find time to read this Holy book. God’s word can be absorbed in the car, at the gym, or in the privacy of someone’s home. Audio Bibles also make God’s Holy Word available to people without sight or others with challenges that would keep them from accessing the Holy word of God.
Although the Bible was originally written in Hebrew or Greek, the words have been carefully translated into many languages. So today, not only can we can read God's message in almost every language and version, but we can listen. There are as many audio versions as there are preferences.

For example:

Imagine listening to the New Testament narrated by the powerful voice of James Earl Jones.
Zondervan's has just released "Bible Experience" with the voices of such African-American stars as Angela Bassett, Denzel Washington and Cuba Gooding Jr.


Thomas Nelson will soon release an Audio Bible read by Johnny Cash.
Audio Bibles for children that allow them to appreciate God's word in language they understand.
Audio Bibles are excellent spiritual resource for because they enable us to hear the word of God, under the most unlikely circumstances or schedules. They are compact, easy to use and provide a new approach accessing His holy words. Anything that can stimulate new thought and discussion about the word of God is worth listening to. Audio Bibles make this possible. We can all benefit from this dimension of the Holy Bible.
