Bible Basics for Babes in Christ is filled with a "Did You Know..." section for each letter of the alphabet uncovering little known or unknown pieces of information in the Bible.

+"A" - Did You Know...The Bible only names 4 angels. Who are they? Each letter of the alphabet includes a brief biographical sketch of up to 8 key people.
"H" - Ham (the man not the meat!) was the father of the Canaanities, whose land was also known as the "Promised Land" which was given to the Israelites, descendants of his brother Shem. There are also sections for places and things for each letter of the alphabet.
"P" - A Parable is an everyday truth that has spiritual application. "Z" - Zion began as the name of the City of David (2Sam. 5:7) and has been used figuratively to mean Israel as the people of God (Is. 60:14) and has gone on to mean the Church of God and the heavenly Jerusalem (Rev. 14:1).

Other sections include:

Scripture... (Fill in the blank) How much was Delilah paid for information about Samson? _______________________ (Judges 16:5) Trivia... Lot is the first "caveman" mentioned in the Bible (Gen. 19:30). A question to ponder: Why did Thomas doubt the report of the other disciples about Jesus' appearance?
