As the managing editor of the popular online craft and family magazine Families-First I had the pleasure of reading Kathy Ross' terrific book Crafts from your Favorite Bible Stories. I also had the chance to interview Ms. Ross. Kathy's book is fabulous for families, schools, and churches. She does an exceptional job in helping children learn about the Bible and remembering the stories through her crafts. Families-First has a Craft of the Week every week and when we feature one of Kathy's crafts it is a huge hit! We have heard from hundreds of teachers, parents, and kids who love all of her craft books, but especially enjoy Crafts from your Favorite Bible Stories!

After using her craft books for some time now, I know that Kathy Ross does not use standard craft techniques. She creatively crafts with throw-away materials, which makes her crafts very easy on the budget. My Sunday school class loved making the sock puppet of Jonah sticking out of the mouth of a paperbag whale, as shown on the cover of this book. We also did the mitten puppet of Sarah and baby Isaac, where the thumb of the mitten becomes the craddled baby. I found the projects in this book to be both easy and charming. After taking this book from the library, I had to have my own copy of the entire Christian Craft series for my Sunday school classes.
Thank you Kathy Ross ~ you are a most creative author! Please keep writing and creating! There are many of us that can hardly wait for your next book!

Kathy has done it again! Wonderful, creative ideas throughout! My daughter really enjoyed working on these projects and I'm sure your kids will too!! My daughter and I love getting her books and have spent many weekends working together on these creative projects. Kids learn while they work on the crafts, too. We find the projects are often the stepping-off point for discussions about the bible stories. Kudos to the author for yet another job well done!!

Kathy Ross helps fill in the gap for Sunday School teachers. Sometimes our church cirriculum falls short on craft ideas. Kathy has shared her creativity for craft fun for kids and teachers alike. As a first-grade Sunday School teacher, I look forward to having her books in our Sunday School resource room and to see new craft books in the future!

I bought this book and thought it was great. My church is using it in their Sunday School. The ideas are so fun and clever. Thanks to Kathy Ross for another wonderful craft book!

Although I liked the authors' other book, this one was a huge disappointment. The projects were mundane -- and you could come up with much more on your own. After all, just think of the main characters in your favorite Bible stories (e.g., Joseph adn the coat of many colors), and design a boy with a multi-colored coat -- made from polymer clay, quilling, paper, or whatever. I just wasn't remotely impressed with anything in the book, and would have been much happier just using my imagination. This book is going back ... I'd strongly suggest that you save your money, and buy the book about Christian values (which shows much more imagination on the part of the author).

I thought this book would have a big selection of crafts, but when I got it I was very disappointed. Its very simple and small. Dont have a variety of crafts and only have few pages.

I am very pleased with my purchase. It has lots of great craft ideas for many bible lessons. These crafts require some items you will need to collect, such as, salad dressing bottle tops, socks and the craft materials required are inexpensive. Items such as glue on eyes, buttons, glue and construction paper.
