At The Good Book Company, we have the privilege of creating and publishing biblical, relevant and accessible resources to encourage you and your church family to keep going, keep growing and keep sharing your faith.
Many of these resources are books you can purchase—but there are also free resources to help you use these books as tools as you teach, counsel, and come alongside others.
Here are a few highlights of some of the free resources we’re offering. We hope they’re a help to you.
Many of our books are a great fit for group study or discussion. We offer free resources to make it easier for you to lead groups through many of these books. Browse below for examples.
Some books feature memorable quotes or reflections on the Bible that you might like to display and dwell on. We offer posters of some quotes from books, as well as prayer cards you could print and use as prompts and memory aids. For example:
Kids especially benefit from engaging with Bible-centred books in a variety of ways. That’s why we offer colouring and activity books, as well as free colouring sheets for many kid’s books. Some books, such as A Jesus Easter by Barbara Reaoch, include journalling pages. We offer a free PDF of these pages if you’d like to print copies so that multiple children can participate.
Do Great Things For God Series, which features biographies of godly women for kids, is supported by free biography worksheets for 4-8s and 8-11s. Just visit each book’s page to download these and help your kids dig more into these powerful testimonies.
Some books, such as Any Time, Any Place, Any Prayer by Laura Wifler or The Awesome Super Fantastic Forever Party by Joni Eareckson Tada, are especially suited for hands-on learning through crafts, games, printout journals, and more.
While we do offer a 6-session curriculum based on the bestselling book The Garden, the Curtain and the Cross, several of our children’s books also have shorter free lesson plans to help you teach a kid’s Sunday School class or homeschool session on the topic of the book. Use these free full-size illustrations to read the stories live while projecting the pictures on a big screen, or play one of these free video read-throughs as part of your lesson.
Bethany McIlrath loves to get lost in a book and to help others discover their next read in her marketing role at The Good Book Company. When she's not reading stories, she's usually writing them or dreaming about them as she comes up with real-life creative adventures for friends, her husband, and a doorbell-like dog named Indy. Serving in children's ministry is also one of her greatest joys.
