The Jesus Storybook Bible
/
I've spoke of The Jesus Storybook Bible here before, but now I can show you.
The above video is only a small sample, but it provides a great example of this children's Bible by Sally Lloyd-Jones and illustrated by Jago. (I believe the audio recording in the above video clip is by David Suchet who does the audio narration for the CD version of this children's Bible.)
My wife and I have been reading it to my boys and they get the story, and at many points they can re-tell it with ease. The illustrations are fun and memorable. The perspective is really good. But most important is that this Bible tells one story. It's God's Story with the theme of redemption just as the Bible should be read. In other words, rather than being simply a collection of stories with a moral point, The Jesus Storybook Bible tells the story of Christ from start to finish.
I highly recommend that you pick up a copy of this Bible for your kids. Or if you're an adult who has never read the entire Bible in chronological order and sometimes has trouble seeing the big picture, get this Bible and read it. I've even recommend it to new believers and the response has been extremely positive. The Jesus Storybook Bible is a great resource to have on your bookshelf, regardless of your age or longevity as a believer.
