Buy Bibles Online

My son’s religious education began early, and over the years I’ve purchased various bible translations for him to study. The first few were little more than glorified picture books. In time, his knowledge base and reading skills matured enough to allow him to graduate to the actual translations of the bible. His favorite bible story comes from 1 Samuel, chapter 17. It should be immediately familiar even to those who don’t study the Old Testament.

The story of David and Goliath is a rather violent one, but like many Old Testament parables it teaches a solid moral lesson. My son grew up enjoying the story so much in part because of his own diminutive size, which he used to view as a detriment. Now it’s clear to him that if David could go from being a nobody to the king of the Israelites, he could also grow up to do great things. Most recently I bought him an NIV audio bible so that he could enjoy the story even in the car.
