Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it. Proverbs 22:6
A few months back I ordered our family the Child Training Bible as a way to nurture Lexie in the ways of the Lord as she learns about right from wrong, consequences, and Godly behaviors.
What better way to teach her these things than going directly to the Bible? We already do our family Bible time, which she loves. So I thought the Child Training Bible would be a great addition to our family. And it has been!
So, you may be asking, “what is the Child Training Bible?”- well, it is a:
“tool that allows parents and children (and anyone that loves the Word of God) to go directly to the pages of Scripture for instruction in 20 key areas with a complete section dedicated to the gospel. The CTB was designed with Colossians 3:9-10 in mind. “You have put off the old self with its practices and have put on the new self.” The Scriptures selected for the CTB teach why we are to “put off” certain behavior and what godly behavior we are to “put on” instead.“ (CTB website).
The Child Training Bible gives us verses for correcting undesirable behaviors. It is so helpful, allows us to go straight to scripture for training our children, and encourages that children learn to do the same. Children learn by example, and what a great example to set!
Everything about the Child Training Bible encourages training our children in the way they should go; through scripture.
It is also very reasonably priced at only $9.00 (plus shipping). Which is wonderful considering it is a well made, very detailed resource.

| Here are the supplies that come with the Child Training Bible chart set |
Here is what is included with the CTB chart set:
- 1 Child Training Bible Key
- 3 Scripture Tabbing Charts (double-sided)
- Set of Instructions
In addition to the CTB chart set, you will need:
- A Bible (6.625″ x 9.5″ for an exact fit)
- Your colors for marking verses (I used colored pencils, but you can use highlighters, markers, crayons, anything you have that includes all the colors)
- Post it flags
Above are all my supplies before I assembled my Bible
Here is a video tutorial of how to use the CTB set:
The toughest decision was picking a Bible- did I want to buy a whole new Bible, or use one we had? I started with the smaller Bible seen in the pictures above (which is the exact size recommended by the Dunns for the CTB), but I decided to use our family Bible.
It is a large Bible, so it isn’t exactly the size recommended by the CTB website. But I chose it because it is our go-to Bible everyday for scripture and Bible lessons, and I wanted the CTB to be right there every time we opened our Bible.
Overall, we love our Child Training Bible. I was able to easily add some of my personal favorite verses to the tabber charts, thus highlighting them in the correct color in our Bible. It took me about 4 hours total (while watching the news, so you could probably shave some time off of there) after the kids went to bed to get everything complete.
**The creators of Child Training Bible have also created the Virtue Training Bible!** This excited me so much! I can’t wait to order a set; it will definitely need it’s own Bible, as it involves many more tabs and topics. I look forward to ordering it.
I want to give a huge thank you to Mindy Dunn- she has graciously offered to provide a giveaway of one Child Training Bible Chart Set for one Life Is Good reader! Woo hoo- someone is going to be blessed to receive this set. I hope that if you are not the winner, you will purchase CTB for your family, it really is an invaluable tool.

Great resource
Awesome giveaway I’ve always wanted one of these. Great review as well
Great giveaway and review than you
I really like how easy it is to find the topic you need at that moment in the ible. I would love to use the bible more often when teaching my children.
I love the ease of use. The topics are very useful. I would love to use this with my children.
I love having the color coding. Makes it much easier to find what we are looking for!
Love the color coding!
I love that it has tabs that help you go straight to where you need in the Bible to show your child that their particular behaviors are not okay with God and it isn’t just that we parents are being difficult.
It also teaches them that God is the first & last source of information & guidance on how we see the world & live our lives.
I love that it has tabs that make it easy to see where to go in the Bible to learn & teach about what & why certain behaviors are unacceptable. It teaches children that parents aren’t trying to be difficult but that God also finds certain behaviors wrong.
I love that using this will teach children that the Bible is, in fact, applicable to their daily lives. That God is the first & last place we should go for info on how we should live our lives to please God.
I LOVE the CTB!!
I have both the CTB and VTB and love them both! I am hoping to win another set to give a friend who is currently expecting her first child. Wouldn’t this make the best shower gift? I’m also wanting to make up a set for each of my nieces and nephews who are teenagers now, but will have families of their own one day. I even use these references just for myself! Thanks for hosting a giveaway! If I win, I will be spreading God’s word!

I have both the CTB and the VTB kits and love them! I use them for myself most days! I am entering the giveaway in hopes to win one for a friend who is expecting her first child. Wouldn’t this be an awesome shower gift? I’m also hoping to make up kits for my young nieces and nephews (ages 6-20 now) who can use them for themselves or for their own families someday. Either way, I will continue sharing God’s word!
I like that it teaches children to go to the bible for answers.
This looks so great – so easy to use!
I love that the CTB charts that include over 200 Scripture references.
I like how it makes the right passages that you need to use with your children available so quickly.
This is Awesome….. I Love the color coding this would be helpful because Kaden has Autism. He loves reading his children’s story bible, but as asked for more meat. To him it’s very overwhelming to open up his Bible and read the scriptures that go along with the story. Hope that makes sense. 😀 hahahahaha
The color coding is probably my favorite part of it. It makes it not only easy for my kiddos to look up things that they would need to look up. But also easier for me and my hubby too!
