“At the heart of bringing up children ‘in the training and instruction of the Lord’ is reading the Bible with them. Leon Engman has provided parents and others with an excellent tool for doing just that. Easy to use and well laid out with helpful questions and explanatory notes, this book gives children the big picture of God’s unfolding plan of salvation in Scripture. . . . I enthusiastically recommend it to everyone, young and old.”
—Kenneth Brownell, author of Luther and the 9.5 Theses
“We know the Bible provides a life-giving foundation for our children. But when parents attempt to help their kids explore it, the task is overwhelming. You with Your Young Reader empowers parents to walk alongside their kids by providing a wise reading plan, questions, and leader notes. It’s a great stand-alone tool. Or it can be used to help kids transition from a children’s Bible to the Bible.”
—Matthew W. Bates, author of The Gospel Precisely
