Some are short and some are long. Some are pretty and I even think some of them are ugly. They are all different colors…but live in the same box. Let’s look at this box of crayons and compare them to people. We can learn a lot from a box of crayons. There are dull people, bright people, people with weird names, short people, and all different colors of people. So, we are like a box of crayons. Jesus teaches us that we should learn to live together in love, although we are different in a lot of ways."

An excerpt from "Stories Worthy of Passing On" by Joyce Clayton

Some of the lessons we learn as children make such an impression that they stay with us into adulthood. It is that kind of a story that imparts the truth and insight that becomes a lifelong lesson. Joyce Clayton’s new children’s book contains such stories. A devoted Sunday School teacher to young children, Clayton has created a collection of her Sunday School lessons into a devotional guide called "Stories Worthy of Passing On."

Using simple and colorful analogies that appeal to a child’s curiosity and hold their interest, Clayton’s stories carry important moral messages taken from the Bible and the teachings of Jesus. Many of the stories employ props or simple visual aids that children can relate to such as a balloon, a box of crayons, or a dollar bill. The messages illustrated by these examples are simple truths such as focusing on Jesus as a role model, developing Christian character, developing faith and trust in God, and developing one’s God-given potential. Each of these unique and brief lessons contains a Bible verse that corresponds with the lesson and brings the gospel to an understandable level for a child.

A wonderful resource for Sunday School teachers, Christian schoolteachers, daycare workers and parents, "Stories Worthy of Passing On will bring the teachings of Jesus to children in stories and lessons that they will remember and treasure for years to come.
