Background
I trust that many of you know who Phil Vischer is. He founded Veggietales in 1990 and built the company into a wildly successful venture. Phil left the company in 2003 (though he continues to voice characters in the movies). Phil wrote about the whole adventure in a series called What Happened to Big Idea? After a couple of other ventures, Phil started Jelly Fish labs and Jellytelly in 2008 as a revolutionary way to reach children with the gospel of Christ.
The Jellytelly website started as a subscription site, then went to a free format (which is when I found

I wanted to post an article today to make you aware of an invaluable resource from one of my favorite Children’s Ministry websites on the internet today – Ministry-to-Children.com. Today’s article will focus on the Ministry-to-Children.com Forums but first I wanted to tell you a little more about Ministry-to-Children.com website itself.

Several months ago I posted I posted a listing of My 30 Favorite Children’s Ministry Blogs based on their inclusion in The Blog Patrol. Since that time, I’ve reformatted what was The Blog Patrol into The Children’s Ministry Blog Patrol to focus on articles of importance to those involved in Children’s Ministry. Also since that time, I have discovered additional blogs which should be added to the list, and some blogs from the prior list have inexplicably disappeared.
So, it seemed like a good time to update the list. So, here’s the deal. I have picked the

Last week I finished a ten part series reviewing the Top Ten Christian Books for Kids. The hardest part of putting together the Top Ten Christian Books for Kids was deciding which books weren’t going to make the cut. So, I put together this Honorable Mention list of the next ten books I considered for the list. I will limit my input on each one to a sentence or so along with a link to ChristianBook.com and there description of the Book.
11. Little Blessings
This series includes various books which tell the story of the Bible in rhyme for young Children.

Call me crazy, but a Bible had to be #1 on any list of the best Christian books for kids, and this particular version does not disappoint. I bought a copy of the ESV Study Bible last October when it first came out, and the ESV has quickly become my favorite translation of the Bible. I’m actually on my third time through it now! I was excited to see a copy of the ESV in a Children’s Bible as well. Although it is a little more difficult reading than a translation like the NIrV, I want to challenge my kids,

Written by Sally Lloyd-Jones and illustrated by Jago, The Jesus Storybook Bible is quickly becoming a classic in world of Children’s Bible Stories, and for good reason. The book is written in the form of a storybook, and every story points to Jesus. Sally Lloyd-Jones does a masterful job of showing how the Bible, a collection of 66 books, is actually one story, and it’s all about Jesus. You can’t ask for much more in a book for your kids. Next to the Bible itself (which is the only reason this book is not #1 on my list – hint,
