The Jesus Storybook Bible: Every Story Whispers His Name

We love reading this Bible to our daughter. What is especially notable is the way that it is written in easy to understand lingo and ties the OT scriptures to Christ - the great Rescuer.

I bought this book months ago and read it with my older two children each night for our storytime. They are ages 6 and 10. I absolutely loved the book, regardless of the fact that the author took a few creative liberties as mentioned in other reviews. While I would love it to be absolutely perfect and true, I've found that many children's bibles are so factual they don't hold a child's attention. I feel this book is accurate in the important things, and only deviates from very little things that would require more explaining, thus making the story too complicated. Like one reviewer mentioned the book says Jesus fed 5000 people when it was actually 5000 men plus women and children. Try to explain that to a child without getting more questions like "why doesn't the Bible just say how many of everyone?" which just serves to get you off topic.

Overall, I thought the book was great and my children loved it as well. They looked forward to the next story each night, unlike other Bibles I've tried. By the end, they had memorized the mantra at the end of most stories that God loves us with an unfailing, neverending.....love. Now, my 10 year old did seem to tire of that repetition, but it was nice that it was drilled into their heads of how God has done all these things because of his love for us.

Under age 10, this book is awesome. By age 10, your child may want something more substantial, but they still enjoy it.

This is an awesome kid Bible. It takes license yes, but it is for 3-8 yr olds. The heart of the Gospel is in it. Plus as a bonus no manipulation! woo hoo! Check it out!

We have now read through this Bible 5 times with my now 6 year old son. We gave it to him when he was 4, and he has asked--more like begged--to read a story from it each and every night since then.
This is the most loving, gently written children's story book Bible that I have ever come across. They are all written in a way that a child can relate to and understand. And I love that at the end it really does bring it back around to Christ's love for us.
Even as an adult, there have been many stories that I have read my son, and ended with a teary eye, as my heart connects to the message, and I feel I have really "grasped" something for the first time in reading it. Well done!!!

This book is an awesomely written and illustrated book. The pictures are beautiful and interesting. I am engrossed in the stories and dare I repeat the pictures. The pictures are intricately weaved with the story and are almost one with the writting. My husband reads them to our son on Sunday morning and I read them at bedtime. I am very happy with this purchase!
