Bible Fun

By Farris Yawn

Studying the Bible can be intimidating for many people. Some will pick it up and start reading, while others will seek out study guides or classes.

During her years as a Sunday school teacher, Wanda Erbse found the most effective way to teach the Bible, particularly to children, was to make it fun. She created quizzes, puzzles, riddles, and games to help her students better understand and remember the stories and lessons from the good book.

Erbse collected those lessons and games into several books in order to share the puzzles and devotions with parents, ministers, and her fellow teachers. She has recently combined those books into a single volume entitled Bible Fun.

Here are a few riddles and questions in the book:

I wasnt very tall / So in a crowd I couldnt see /
But I wanted to see / So I climbed a sycamore tree

Each day I walked with God /
And when my eyes grew dim / I never tasted death at all /
But was taken straight to Him

Upon our pages / Gems of wisdom are found /
Were a book of the Bible / With advice very sound

What kind of animal was Rebekah riding when she came to meet Isaac?

This book also includes several devotions written for children, but it is not only for the young. Bible Fun would make an enjoyable addition to any persons spiritual journey, and it will definitely test your knowledge of the Bible.

Wanda Erbse has been writing since 1975. She has written a column for Union Gospel Press for 22 years called NOAHS ARK. She has also written hundreds of articles used in multiple curriculums and published six childrens books.
