Growing up I loved stories.  I remember during those long summer days when you were staying up late and playing outside all day long, my mother would often make us lay down for an afternoon nap.  The only way Mom could get us to hold still  long enough to fall asleep was to read us a few stories.  This is where I learned the childhood classics of the Three Little Pigs, Goldilocks and the 3 bears, or Tortoise and the Hare, Brer Rabbit, and even nursery rhymes.

Stories that taught me the importance of building a strong house, the idea that slow and steady wins the race and the beauty of twinkling stars.

Today is our second episode in our series “Simplify Your Summer Scripture Study”.  Today we look at the power and simplicity of using stories to teach the gospel to our children and how we can use stories to reinforce our monthly theme.
