Woman at the Well Bible Story Read-Aloud Book
This is a printable Bible story read-aloud book for the story, Jesus and the Woman at the Well. When I was searching for children’s editions of this Bible story, I couldn’t find any. It also isn’t included in The Beginner’s Bible, which I sometimes reference when I create the printable activities. I felt like this is an important story, because it comes at the beginning of Jesus’ ministry and it is the first story where he reveals himself as the Messiah. So, I decided to create a printable book that you can use for this. This story comes from John 4, and I referenced a few different versions (ESV, ICB, NASB) of the Bible to write the story for preschool children. I hope this helps your children understand the story, and I welcome your feedback!
