I was in the Evangelical Library recently when I spotted a copy of T C Hammond's commentary on the set of 100 texts used by Irish Church Missions in Bible clubs for children. Although designed for use amongst Roman Catholic children, they are suitable for teaching all children (and adults for that matter) basic gospel truths. I looked on t'internet for a list of the texts and found them here. Thank you Timothy Davis. T C Hammond's biography (1994 Banner of Truth) is well worth reading. See here.These are the first ten.
