Theologically-Sound Books of The Bible Set to Rhyme PLUS More Resources that Help Kids and Adults Build Their FAITH and Grow to Enjoy God's Word
Kids Learn More About The Bible Than Their Sunday School Teacher
It Should Not Be So Difficult
for Children, and Adults Alike,
To Enjoy Something TogetherâŠ
Something that makes the Bible easy to consume
And Fun to discover Godâs genius messages
And even covers the things that get left outâin a tactful way, where the lesson still gets to come to the surface
I could see there was a gap that needed to be filled. We needed a way to learn the Bible that was fun and still managed to reveal its exciting lessons and messages. I could see that we needed a way to share Godâs word with our children that was captivatingâyet never compromised the accuracy of scripture.
I thought, "How solid could our children be when they hit middle school⊠and then high school⊠and the true testâthe pitfall that eats our kids alive and snuffs our their valuesâwhen they hit college?
Kids grow up.
Of course they do. Thatâs inevitable.
And EVERY SINGLE ANTI-GOD, CHRIST-MOCKING, AGENDA-DRIVEN message is yet another straw added to that camelâs backâŠ
If kids were encouraged to take in hard truths and lessons and didnât have to rely on mainstream books and shows and even contemporary curriculum that wasnât so washed out, how strong could they be?
How much more of the Bible could they know deep down?
How much more prepared would they be...
...knowing that there were reasons God did the things He did? How much more prepared would they be if they just learned how intentional He truly is with every judgement and blessing?
That's why I started The Rhyme and Reason Series. It was my response to what I was noticing in our culture. But I didn't want to just contribute another "children's book" into the marketplace. I knew, if I was serious about helping parents and grandparents fight back with a culture that not only loves sin, but is pulling in too many of our childrenâI had to standardize on a recipe that each one would follow.
THIS is about the FAITH Foundation Recipeâand how it has provided the framework to each book in the series, to ensure it's a relevant resource no matter the age of reader, and no matter the era.

How The F.A.I.T.H. Foundations Recipe Consistently Created These
Rhyming, Colorful Heirlooms
This is about the "5-Ingredient Recipe" that I discovered and used as a foundation to produce these "Children's books" to be timeless resources that the entire family could study and enjoy.
Fun
Why do our kids love Dr. Seuss and Shel Silversteinâfor years!
Because they're fun.
There's not only a story told, but a story with meter and rhythm, making short "chunks" of information easy to grasp and understandâas well as fun to read and keep reading.
Each book tells the Bible book in rhyming couplets. Each on spans 48 pages, packed from cover to cover with a fun, shuffling rhyming poetry.
All Ages
And if adults arenât fascinated with the content, the children donât have a chance.
A bold claim, but don't some books just get a single pass â while the hardback classics are read over and over?
THAT is how those stories take root in the memory!
It's also not realistic to block out the time to read a few dozen pages every reading time or story time. So the books are sectioned off, similar to chapters.
When you see once of these big letters, you know youâve come to a natural stopping point. Mom or dad or grandma or grandpa can keep reading, stop to study along side of their Bible, or tuck Jr. in and quit there for the night.
Imagery
You found him, right?
I'm talking about Waldo?
Remember how many kidsâAND adultsâcommitted hours to finding that red-and-white-striped sweater-wearing guy in glasses?
The fun from picking up a Where's Waldo book comes from that challenge of finding Wally, as if there's a mystery to solve.
But those books were ALL about the imagery. What if there was a book that drew kids and adults into rich illustrationsâthat support the words and the story?
So there was a three-year quest to find the perfect illustrator: one who knew exactly how to support God's lessons and could also weave clever details into the artwork that would keep curious eyeballs searching for hours.
Theologically-Sound
Do kids need the Bible to be edited?
If youâve browsed the childrenâs section of a Christian bookstore lately, youâll find so many children's booksâthat remove the inconvenient accounts! Or they mis-match the lesson that God meant with a nice, "feel-good" lesson that you'd find in a fortune cookie.
Why should we skip over the lesson of Sarai blatantly shunning Godâs timing and taking things into her own hands⊠or why God leveled those cities of Sodom and Gomorrah?
We shouldn't. And we don't have to.
Before each manuscript EVER goes to a printer, each is rigorously built, layer by layer ⊠up to six translations, commentaries, drafts sent to theologians, hours of discussionâŠ
In other words, the accuracy AND the deep concepts of the Biblical narrative will NEVER be compromised just for the sake of entertainment.
Heirloom Quality
I don't have a single
DVD or ebook in the attic.
But I do have books.
The Rhyme and Reason Series books are meant to be more-than-a-lifetime treasures. Classics like Peter Pan, Charlotte's Web, Winnie the Pooh, live on the shelves for generations.
DVDs get scratched. Flash drives get lost in the car seats (with a few boxes of Cheerios?), and anything in a cloud account eventually is as good as forgotten!
Books never go out of style.
So these are hardbacks with thick, glossy coated pages â printed by the same trusted company that prints National Geographic magazine.
What if "Bible Study" felt More Like Story Time?
The Rhyme and Reason resources found here are developed through the proven F.A.I.T.H. Foundations "Recipe." To God be the glory for anything here that leads people, no matter their age, closer to Him. Every book has been crafted to help make scripture fun, memorable and stay consistent and truly accurate to the lessons in the Bible, no matter how "culturally difficult" or unpopular.
