Product Description
"The Jesus Storybook Bible" tells the story beneath all the stories in the Bible. At the center of the story is a baby, the child upon whom everything will depend. Every story whispers his name. From Noah to Moses to the great King David - every story points to him. He is like the missing piece in a puzzle - the piece that makes all the other pieces fit together. From the Old Testament through the New Testament, as the story unfolds, children will pick up the clues and piece together the puzzle. A Bible like no other, "The Jesus Storybook Bible" invites children to join in the greatest of all adventures, to discover for themselves that Jesus is at the center of God's great story of salvation - and at the center of their story too.

 Some good, some bad... September 7, 2010

I like how each Old Testament story points toward Christ, but there is a LOT of liberty taken with the text that I'm not a fan of at all. Many times when the original words of scripture would be perfectly suited for young children, a substitute is used that can sometimes change the meaning completely. The first story makes this mistake by saying the lie from Satan was that "God doesn't love you". That wasn't the lie... it wasn't even close to that, yet that "lie" pervades the entire storybook. I have to filter while I'm reading as it is always making assumptions and trying to fill in holes that scripture is silent on... I'd go a different route for your kids storybook Bible.
 Best Children's Bible Story Book Ever August 27, 2010

This is the best children's Bible story book I have ever read. The pictures are great, but the way the stories are told is amazing. I have a Christian Theology degree and am often frustrated how Bible stories are told to children. But this one is wonderful because they are told with a sense of humor and real life. But they also weave in the story of God's love for his people starting at the very beginning in the Old Testament. "Every Story Whispers His Name" is an accurate subtitle, because all the stories lead the way to the story of Jesus in the New Testament. Very well written. I have started buying this for gifts for my friends! Great gift for adults as well.

I can't say enough about this book. We bought it for our 4 year old grandson..book with CD version. We've bought 2 more since for gifts...one for the grandson's family and one for a couple who will be having a baby in the fall.
The narrative is electrifying with its Biblical content and commentary. If you don't know the gist of the Bible, buy this to get a real grip on the magnitude of Biblical truth.

This book is for children of all ages. Written in such a manner that old and young alike can understand the life of Jesus without needing a commentary to decipher the story.
The Best Children's Bible I Have Come Across July 31, 2010

My husband and I attended seminary and after having children struggled to find a theologically accurate bible for your children. We wanted something that didn't dumb down key concepts and that also kept God's holiness in tact. We LOVE this Bible. The stories are longer than most children's bible (3-4 pages usually), but the illustrations are nice. Each story points back to Jesus by the end of it. It doesn't mask over sin and man's falleness, but openly shows that without Jesus we have no hope. We know that our children won't catch everything we read every time we read, but whatever they do here is Truth. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BIBLE.
