This book will help teach your children to take refuge in God as their stronghold in times of trouble. Our Artistic Bible Copywork series combines Bible verses, penmanship copywork, and art.

Through careful use of the books in this series, you can even help your children keep these Bible passages in their hearts, entrusted to their memory. “Thy Word have I hid in my heart, that I may not sin against Thee.” (One way to do this is to have them do the same copy page several days in a row, while saying the verse together as a family to learn it by heart.) It is so vitally important for our children to know the Bible and its teachings.
