One of the first words a child learns to recognise, and then to write, is his own name. He identifies not simply with its shape and sound, but often with its origin, especially if he shares it with someone he loves and respects.
Bible names were often derivatives of Greek or Hebrew words of very significant meaning. Some were chosen by the baby's parents as an expression of their hopes for its future. Others were given - or changed - by God Himself, in order to describe a new identity that He wished the person to embody.
Bible Names, written for young children, presents simple biblical truths about God's promises, repentance, faith and obedience. It uses the lives and names of some well-known Bible characters, presented in chronological order. Some activities are provided to help children recap the main facts in each lesson.
