Young Christians in places where there are fewer opportunities to get early education can often benefit from materials aimed at younger ages in our "educated" cultures.

This is no less true in our own "educated" churches. I think the children's catechism should be reviewed by adults frequently, to remind themselves how "elementary" is the faith. Even their faith should, after all, be "childlike."

In addition to other studies mentioned, Nancy Ganz' new series of children-oriented Bible commentaries might be useful. Amazon.com: Herein Is Love, Vol. 1: Genesis:...Amazon.com: Herein Is Love, Vol. 1: Genesis:...
