    About this ebook

    God is the greatest storyteller, and throughout the Bible he uses creative and inspiring ways to help us learn Biblical truths. He often uses the "things of this world" such as clouds, the sun, light, darkness, deserts, oceans, the wind, water, animals, other earthly creatures, parts of the human body and simple, everyday things around the house (to name just a few!) to teach us eternal truths. In the Old Testament, God teaches us his timeless wisdom from the Book of Proverbs. Then in the New Testament, Jesus tells numerous stories, called parables, to help teach deep spiritual lessons. He uses common concepts such as farming, money, fig trees, soil, doors, and fishing to teach important life lessons.

    The practical teachings contained in Proverbs were inspired by God to mankind over 2,000 years ago. The book was written around 920 B.C., primarily by King Solomon, the wisest man who has ever lived- according to the Bible. While that's a long time ago, his teaching principles still "hold" for today!

    Proverbs for Kids are a series of four devotional books covering over 100 proverbs designed specifically to teach children Biblical truths in a fun, easy, and entertaining way. These easy-to-grasp concepts captivate the imagination and help kids understand important truths in a language they can understand. What's more is both kids and adults who read to them will enjoy these informative and colorful books. These books are especially good for kids between the ages of 5 and 11. This particular volume in the series shows how God uses 27 Things in Nature to help explain foundational spiritual truths. As we look at the beautiful nature around us, we see the hand of a wonderful Creator God. The three other books in this series are about Parts of the Human Body, Earthly Creatures, and Things Around the House.

    Each of the four books in the series contain Teachable Truths and the Take Home Points to explain the proverb(s) in more detail. There are Other Key Verses from the Bible to reinforce the point of the proverb. Many of these key verses of scripture serve as great memory verses!

    The Conclusion at the end of each topic reinforces the main point of the Proverb to make memorable teaching. The four books in the Proverbs for Kids series are easy to navigate with enlarged pictures that accompany the associated Proverbs.
    The Proverbs for Kids book series coupled with the time you invest reading to your kids or grandchildren will engrain Biblical wisdom they can draw on for the rest of their lives!

    With so many difficult challenges we face to raise godly children in today's upside down culture, it is important to introduce them from a young age to God who loves them dearly. Learning about God together is the right way to go and will enhance our family relationships even more.

    As you read through Proverbs and view the pictures in this book, you will be able to picture yourself growing up in Israel during Bible times to see how God used Nature to teach his wisdom. That wisdom is the same today as it was yesterday. Through the Holy Spirit, may God use this book to draw many young hearts and minds toward understanding his spiritual truth and right ways of living. I hope these inspirational books will be a great adventure for you.

    Enjoy and Happy Learning (or Reading)!

      Proverbs for Kids

      Ever wonder how God talks to kids?

      God is the greatest storyteller, and throughout the Bible he uses creative and inspiring ways to help us learn Biblical truths.

      God tells us to impress his commandments on our children and to talk about them when we sit at home and when we walk along the road, when we lie down and when we get up. –from Deuteronomy 6:7

      Clouds

      Clouds are small drops of water vapor

      Teachable Truths:

      When we are small we think clouds are giant pieces of white cotton candy floating way up in the sky. Clouds are really just large groups of small water droplets we can see in the earth’s atmosphere. Clouds are formed when water on earth turns to vapors high up in the sky. Rain, snow, and hail falling from clouds is called precipitation. Most clouds form in the troposphere (the lowest part of earth’s atmosphere) but sometimes they are seen as high as the stratosphere or mesosphere. Clouds can contain millions of tons of water. The main types of clouds include stratus, cumulus and cirrus. Stratus clouds are flat and appear as sheets. Cumulus clouds look like cotton and float in the sky. Cirrus clouds are thin and appear very high in the sky. Fog is a stratus type of cloud which appears very close to the ground. Other planets in our solar system have clouds. Venus has clouds of sulfur-dioxide and Jupiter has clouds of ammonia. Each cloud is unique.

      Verses to review:

      Proverbs 8: 28-31 When God established the clouds above and fixed securely the fountains of the deep, when he gave the sea its boundary so the waters would not overstep his command, and when he marked out the foundation of the earth. Then I (Wisdom) was the craftsman at his side. I was filled with delight day after day, rejoicing in his whole world and delighting in mankind.

      Proverbs 25:14 Like clouds and wind without rain is a person who boasts of gifts they do not give.

      Take Home Points:

      Proverbs 8:28-31 are key verses to teach us about wisdom. Wisdom is much more than knowledge. Knowledge is just having the truth about something.
