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.

 Great book about Jesus for children January 2, 2009
This was a great book that I really enjoyed with my young children. The story was well written and the illustrations made the story come to life. It's a great way to spend time with your kids. By the way there is a beautiful new book on Jesus for adults entitled "The Enlightenment, What God Told Me After One Million Prayers: A Message for Everyone," by John H. Eagan. It's really great and deals with Jesus' teachings and His Passion so deeply but you have to be an adult to appreciate it.
Great for kids December 2, 2008

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.
very,very good. It doesn't shame kids into following God out of Fear! October 27, 2008
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!
Wonderful, loving storybook Bible! October 1, 2008

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!!!
