Not just bible stories! (1/1 people found this helpful)
This isn't just an anthology of disconnected bible stories. It is an introduction to biblical theology, Christology, and soteriology. It is about the "Big Picture" of salvation history. After finishing this bible for the first time my five year old son exclaimed, "The whole bible is about Jesus isn't it Daddy!" What more needs to be said? This book is quite literally the best children's bible that it is possible to buy. Even the illustrations are theologically sound! I can't recommend it more highly.
Clear Gospel Presentation (2/2 people found this helpful)
This book is a wonderful resource for explaining God's plan for Salvation through His 'forever King' Jesus Christ. This has been thought provoking reading for our young son, prompting him to ask many questions and even be a witness for Jesus at age 2! He loves to hear the stories and look at the fantastic art work in this book. We have even noticed unsaved friends pick it up and read for themselves the simplicity of the Gospel and learn of the Love of God for them! Every family should have one, I have bought 3 already as gifts! Highly recommended if you can only buy one book for your child get this one!!
Not just cute stories! (5/5 people found this helpful)
This is the best book of children's Bible stories I have found so far. Rather than the usual trite tales with a slight moral bent, this clearly communicates God's plan for the salvation of mankind in a way children (and adults) can understand. What is particularly refreshing is that it doesn't gloss over unpleasant facts like man's rejection of God and God's subsequent anger which are vital to graps if anyone is to understand why they need Jesus. Despite that, the big picture of the Bible is set out in a loving, humble way with gentle challanges to make kids think rather than preaching. If anyone finds this book unpalitable, it is because the gospel is at work in them, not because the book is insensitive or cringe-making. On top of all this the book is very nicely illustrated and makes great bedtime reading.
the best bible for children! (22/22 people found this helpful)
Having spent many hours reading Christian books to children, this is the best book yet! The illustrations are beautiful, but most importantly this book shows children how God's plan in the Bible fits together. It shows how the whole Bible is pointing to Jesus. My 4 year old daughter wants me to read on and on, and really seems to be grasping the message. A great present , and also a great resource both in the home, and at Sunday school.
