Taylor Turner, a ninth-grade science teacher and mother of three, shares her transformative journey from struggling with family Bible reading to creating a comprehensive family Bible study. What began as a simple tradition of reading a chapter of Luke daily during December evolved into something much more profound when Taylor realized her family was merely going through the motions without meaningful engagement.

"We'd read the Bible and it felt like we got nothing out of it," Taylor explains, describing how her young daughter would focus more on the advent calendar reward than the scripture itself. This disconnect prompted Taylor to develop a resource that transforms Bible reading into genuine family conversations about faith.

Her Bible study stands apart through its accessibility and practical design. Understanding the intimidation many parents feel about leading spiritual discussions, Taylor incorporated parent tips, conversation starters, and background information using simple Bible translations. "I try to come about it in a perspective of a parent who doesn't really read the Bible as much," she shares. Each chapter includes fill-in-the-blank summaries, memory verses, and family activities—from themed snacks to games that reinforce biblical concepts.

Beyond scripture comprehension, Taylor's study teaches families how to pray meaningfully, moving beyond formulaic approaches to develop authentic communication with God. "I think there's so much hate in this world that if I could choose anything to stand for, it would be love in every situation," Taylor reflects, explaining how her own faith journey informs her approach to teaching children about God's love.

The Bible study represents more than just a published work—it embodies Taylor's passion for breaking generational curses through intentional faith development. As she powerfully states, "We have to train up our kids in the way of the Lord, and it's nobody else's job." Whether you're looking to strengthen your family's faith conversations or begin a new tradition this Christmas season, Taylor's Bible study offers a fresh approach to experiencing scripture together as a family.
