It took three hours.  Three hours of setting up a tool.  A book that has the power to transform lives, heal hearts, and train up in the way of righteousness.

Three hours that will save me from hundreds of sins.

Because I don’t have to get angry anymore.  Or yell.  Or defend why I chose to discipline my littles the way that I did.

I don’t have to take my children’s willful ways personally anymore.

Thanks to the Child Training Bible, training my children up in the way they should go has been made easier.

Child Training Bible inside cover

I don’t have mass amounts of scripture memorized.

Now I can find what I want easily.

These are the supplies that you need:

Child Training Bible Supplies

 

  • Child Training Bible system
  • Sharpie retractable highlighters (because they don’t bleed through and they match the Post-it-Note tabs)
  • Post-it-Note flags
  • a Bible (ours had been previously decorated . . . rather than throwing it away after Mussie ate it . . . we re-created the cover and the kids claimed it as their Word of God.)
  • three hours of  your time

I opted to have the kids help me set up our Child Training Bible.  I figured that if they were a part of the process, then they would understand the value of the Word of God being used in their lives.

making the Child Training Bible

As we highlighted verses, we discussed the scripture . . . and how it applied to their lives.

It was a sweet time.

helping with the Child Training Bible

And even when they didn’t help me for the bottom set of tabs . . . it still took me an hour.  So having little hands help isn’t what slowed me down.

Highlighting in your bible

All of it was meaningful time.

And this is a must-have for the parent who desires to live out the Word of God . . . keep their cool . . . and be Christ-like when all you want to do is explode in anger.

Just being honest.

The Bible has to be our plumb line.  It is the ONLY thing that never changes.  It is reliable.

And you can have it in your home.  Purchase it over at the Child Training Bible ($9) or enter to win it here!  (Subscribers you will have to head on over to the blog to use the Rafflecopter giveaway.)

  • This looks so helpful! A quick and easy way to reference different problems but also a great resource for studying these topics as a family.

  • I have looked for something just like this! I would love to win it because try as I might to memorize verses they don’t come to me when I need them. Then the reasons for the discipline become because somewhere in the bible it says you shouldn’t do that.. so don’t 😛

  • this really made me think! I am intrigued & excited to implement this in our home.

  • this is a great idea!! this would really help with those moments when i cant remember the exact scripture to back up the dicispline.

  • and i had NO idea that there were over 200 scripture verses that could be applied to different discipline issues!

  • This is a great idea! I am not great at memorizing scripture and it would be great to have a quick reference. I am going to buy this!

  • Why do I want this? because this: “this is a must-have for the parent who desires to live out the Word of God . . . keep their cool . . . and be Christ-like when all you want to do is explode in anger.”

    That is me without God’s word…

  • This looks like such a wonderful resource! I have 2 sons, 4 and almost 2. This would be SO helpful, especially in those “trying” moments! 😉

  • I absolutely LOVE this! I’m always looking for ways to make learning the bible more exciting for the kids. The colors and tabs would make looking for scriptures a lot easier.

  • I’d love to win this to use as a discipleship tool. I try to disciple instead of “discipline” so this would be such a helpful resource!

  • Love this! I would like to win this to have the verses so handy for reference to teach and train our kids.

  • I would love to win because I can never remember applicable verses when I need them and would love to be able to have this tool available to help me!

  • I would love to win as this would be a wonderful addition to training our children up for the Lord. It looks very helpful!

  • Love your honesty. And for turning me onto this great product. I struggle, too. Thanks

  • Already ordered my CTB, but would love one to share with a friend!! God Bless! 🙂

  • We would love to win! Excited to have a consistent way to discipline! Help from the LORD 🙂

  • I’d like to have it because it takes thinking and failability out of the mix when tired and not thinking clearly, just look and it’s there.

  • This sounds like an incredible tool! Thanks for reviewing & for offering a give-away!

  • I am not well educated when it comes to scripture & this would be so helpful in training my 2 children in the way they should go!

  • I want to win this because I have three young children that I homeschool. We are always working on a new family verse and have scripture around the house but it is often difficult to stop and search for a scripture that fits the moment everytime it is needed. My days are already very busy and it would be helpful to be able to find many verses at a quick glance and be able to delve right in. I love this idea!

  • Oh this is lovely! I was just looking at this resource on another blog. I have a VERY short memory, and it would be incredibly helpful to have one resource dedicated to all those “answers”. Love your site!

    • Girl, I was just thinking about you today . . . missing you . . . and praying for you. I thought. . . that Laurel she is so busy. How I long to sit and chat with her …hear birth stories . . . school stories . . . photography stories. How you have impacted my life, in such a short duration of time that our lives crossed!!! I miss you!

      • You are so sweet. I think about you so much too! Funny, God has completely been speaking to my heart to sloooow down. To enjoy my children as blessings, rather than a burden. To pour time into my fellowship with him and with my close girl friends. I have been so focused on the wrong things. I’m excited to begin homeschooling this year, and would love to get together with you for chai tea again soon. I have questions for YOU! 🙂 Love to you.

  • WOW! What an incredible resource this would be! My children are 6.7.8 &10 , so we are still in the trenches of heart warfare. I’m honestly thinking this might be a tool used for mom just as often. I’m not sure my responses are always pleasing to the Lord, but it would be great to look up those scriptures together after an apology.

    • Yes, it gives me the right response. Because after I choose the right verse . . . there are questions at the back of the Bible (From the key tab) that facilitate further discussion. It is GREAT!

  • I love this! I haven’t been able to get one yet, but I will. Hopefully I will win it! That would be a HUGE blessings. This is such a great tool I cannot wait to use it!

  • I would love to win the CTB because I have 4 children ages 5,5,3,2 and the bible is the authority for our lives…and I want to teach that to my children! this would be an awesome practical tool! Thanks

  • Why do I want to win the Child Training Bible? Where do I even begin? I have 5 children, one grown and out of the house and 4 that I homeschool. 2 of those 4 children have special needs and to be honest, I show my anger more times than I care to say…not physically, but we just need HELP!…Biblical HELP!!!! I need to reach the hearts of my children and parent and discipline them in a Biblical way and as you said in your post….I need to sin less! Thank you so much for this opportunity….I, no, OUR FAMILY would be truly blessed if we one this set!!!

    • You will be blessed by it!!! Yes, it really helps me. How can I yell or roll my eyes, etc., when I am holding the Word of God in my hands. I love Jesus with all my heart . . . but the old ways die hard. . . and the Child Training Bible has been such a blessing! Bless you . . .

  • I would love to win and be able to say exactly what this writer has written!

  • This is so great. I have been desiring this for months, but live in S.Korea and can not get all the supplies here to set it up. We will be back in August so it will be one of the 1st things I do. I have 6 children 5mo.-17yrs and see the difference it makes when the scripture is used to train, and correct children. it does help us not sin too. This tool makes it easy. Love it!

  • I desperately need this, because I know very little of the Bible…and I don’t want that for my children. I grew up in the church…but not well versed. I knew a few memorized verses, but couldn’t tell you what they meant. However, since being saved…I yearn for knowledge. Especially biblical knowledge that will set me on the right path.

    • Lynn, then you will love love love this. It is such a great tool. And I love that I am opening my Bible. I used to open a great book called Creative Correction by Lisa Welchel . . . but it bothered me because it wasn’t the Bible. So when the kids see me open the Bible . . . they know that it is God using His word and me to love them through the discretion. Keep at it girl!

  • I’d love to have one to help me train my children, also my husband, to give us a guide. One of our children is very strong willed. I think studying the word with her would help a lot.

  • I went ahead and bought this. If I win, I’ll share it with a friend. I’m so excited about this!

  • Pick me, please!I still need to learn God’s will that I can practice before I’m going to apply for my kids!God bless you richly for this wonderful tool that you decided to giveaway!

  • I think instead of just reading devotionals to my kids as a single mom, I can get them to interact with me and the Bible more. It can also be a great way to teach morals, discipline and faith.

  • What a great tool! I would love to win this. I have been searching for something like this!!

  • I’ve been itching to get this for awhile…….would love to win this giveaway so that my procrastination no longer gets in the way of putting it in my hot little hands! 🙂 Thanks for the review and opportunity to win!!

  • I know I could use this in my home. Even when my husband I have discussions and make decisions we refer back to scripture to guide us or help us. Sometimes we don’t know the “address” and then we start flipping pages and wondering to each other who the author is. We get off track and distracted. How much more effective can we be as parents and partners if we are organized and prepared? Great resource!

  • I’d love to win a Bible in order to train my children up and give them the tools to look in the Word themselves when they are struggling with an issue.

  • I would love to win this since I have 2 young children. We are trying to train them in the way they should go, but it is very difficult some days. This would go a long way in reinforcing Bible principles we are trying to teach them. I would love to have this pattern to follow! Thanks for the chance to win!

  • I would love to have this for my boys! I want them to understand why we make the choices we do.

  • Yes, I’ve been wanting this for a long while now! It’s a great resource to have for our family!

  • I could see a Bible like that being passed on for generations to come! What an amazing resource! 🙂

  • My sister is in real need of this Bible based child training!! (I have it and love it!) If I win, it will be a gift for my sis and my niece 🙂 TY!

  • I believe it’s 277 verses to highlight… I can tell you that it is lots of fun 😉

  • I’m finding myself to be a yeller and that is a characteristic for myself that I do not like. Even though my blossoms are still wee buds I really want to find a better way and direct them back to God again and again. These girls deserve that.

  • Maybe my six-year-old will listen when it is the Word of God and not the word of mom? 🙂

  • I’ve been trying to win one of these all summer…I would love to have one for my daughter’s birthday in June

  • I want to win because it is so pretty and colorful!! 😀 Because it looks like a wonderful TOOL to use the WORD OF GOD!!! 🙂

  • I think it will help all of us realise God’s truths instead of thinking about the worlds ideas of “the rules”.

  • I have been struggling with keeping my cool, but I don’t have tons of scripture memorized either and don’t often know where to look to help me read the Word that will help me the most! This tool looks like it could easily be called the “Mom Training Bible”, since ultimately if we aren’t trained in the Word, then we can’t live out the proper example to our children!

  • I like organization, and organization to learn God’s Word better is a wonderful too!

  • Would love to win this for my friend, who did not grow up in a Christian home.

  • With four kiddos, this would be a great time saving resource! My daughters usually heed admonishment from the Bible, so this would be easy for me to look up those little issues that arise. I would have no excuses!

  • What a great idea! I have a book of scripture passages to deal with certain behaviors, but to have something so easy to use, right at your fingertips…awesome!

  • What an absolutly wonderful product. Thank you so much for the chance to win one free. 🙂

  • I would LOVE to receive this because I can already see myself using it in our home, thanks for the opportunity. 🙂

  • Would love to win this- I have several friends who have one & love it! I am a homeschooling mom & could use this handy resource to deal with issues throughout our day!

  • their website says over 200 verses, I can see how that would take 3 hours!

  • This looks amazing…to have 200 verses at my fingertips …gosh I would hope that would help my attitude and really infuse scripture into our lives where it is sooo badly needed.

  • I wasn’t raised in faith and don’t have memorized scriptures for training either, would really benefit from this!

  • This looks amazing! I have been trying to compile flash cards with verses to memorize and use in specific “teachable” moments with my children, but it’s such a daunting project, and I honestly have no idea which verses to use in most cases. I find I can think of a verse most of the time, but forget repeating it verbatim or locating it . . . the reference is usually nowhere in my memory. A tool like this looks like exactly what I need to provide some direction and to get us off on the right foot in directing our kids according to God’s word . . . give them a better reason to do as Mommy and Daddy say rather than just “because I said so.” It’s be cause GOD said so! 🙂 Thanks so much for sharing this! I had no idea something like this even existed! Even if I don’t win, I will probably buy it anyway!

  • 200 verses to highlight! Wow! No wonder I’ve been feeling overwhelmed and at a complete loss as to which verses to memorize and use in instructing my children! I am so glad this mom took the time to compile these charts and is making them available to other parents . . . this tool seriously looks as though it would be invaluable. Simply having a list of 200+ verses you can use in training your children in the ways of God seriously takes a HUGE load off of any parent trying to pull something like this together on their own.

  • I have just had a discussion about training up our children more purposefully. This would really encourage that!

  • I would like to have an organized way to teach the Bible to my daughter. I also have a desire to raise my daughter using His word. I was not raised in a Christian home and I am not as familiar with scripture even though I try very hard. My husband on the other hand was raised in a Christian family. This resource would be very beneficial and help guide my hubby and I in the right direction with discipline and would help me find Bible or scripture references quicker when in need. We are currently focusing on one habit or character a month and it would be of GREAT help. Honestly, there have been times we have both recently resorted to raised voices … even yelling to be truthful and that is not what either of us wants. I would rather focus on God’s word.

  • I want to raise her up, from the beginning, the way she should go… This would be a great tool to help my husband and I do just that!

  • I would love to win this because It will help to teach their hearts God’s Words. I Always wish That I could find That Verse when I need it. 🙂
