I'm helping someone learn more about the Bible, and I was wondering what are some good ways to teach them the basics (books of the Bible, how we got the Bible, how to find verses in the Bible stories, what they mean, etc.)

Thank you in advance.



Answer
Well, some of that would depend on how old they are. For very young children, there is a book called "My Book of Bible Stories" published by Jehovah's Witnesses that covers the basics, with beautiful illustrations and worded in such a way that they can understand. That book has deeper questions listed that you can use to help older kids too, and the scriptures pertaining to each Bible story are listed at the bottom of the page, with additional scriptures listed by the deeper questions.

For adults, we use a Bible study aid called "What Does the Bible Really Teach?" which you can examine online here: http://www.watchtower.org/e/bh/article_02.htm

The little box entitled "Get to Know Your Bible" at the bottom of this page may help you as well: http://www.watchtower.org/e/bh/article_00.htm

If you would like to receive either of those books, you may feel free to contact your local Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses or click on the "Contact Us" link at the bottom of either page linked above.
