‘Are you scouring the shelves for ideas of how to present the old, old story in new and interesting ways? I’m grateful that the author Renita Boyle has done some running for me, and that I’ll be able to use the fruits of her efforts with the children I teach . . . While the lessons follow a pattern . . . the activities themselves are so amazingly varied that there is no possibility of boredom—none whatsoever.The activities in Parable Fun for Little Ones really are fun, but they also earn their keep in terms of Bible teaching. Not one is a time filler or merely for entertainment. Renita Boyle has done a great deal of work and those who add their effort to hers will, I’m sure, reap blessings.’
