This week we thought we'd show you some helps to go alongside your Bible reading. I've picked one for the children and one for adults.

Pictured here are 'The Barbour Bible Reference Companion' by George W Knight and Rayburn W Ray, published by Barbour. And for the children 'Look Inside Bible Times' by Lois Rock and Anthony Lewis, published by Lion.

The Bible Barbour Bible Reference Companion has an A-Z section to help you find out about anything from Aaron to Zuzim, notes on Bible customs and curiosities written in a book by book format and a beautiful full colour map section to help you understand where things in the Bible text are happening. Priced at £15.99

Look inside Bible Times is a Lift the Flap Discovery book for children. This takes a child through Abraham in Canaan, the people of Israel in Egypt, Moses and the Tabernacle, the promised land, a Kingdom and a city, the Assyrian attack, Babylon, and Jerusalem in the time of Jesus. (a second book takes you through the time of Jesus) Helpfully gives a look into what life was like throughout Bible times for the people living then. Simple explanations of words and colourful illustrations means children (and probably adults reading with them!) are learning without noticing. Priced at £9.99
