Kids will love it and so will parents!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
This is one of the best Bible story books I have ever used. I had a copy for my children and both of them loved it -- in fact, I have saved a copy for each of them to have if they ever have children. Since they were grown, I've used it to help teach Bible classes and have given many as gifts to new babies. The illustrations are realistic rather than cartoonish (which I think is important as you stress the reality of the stories)and the text is simple but true to the original. I heartily recommend this book, especially for small children and beginning readers.
Great art and accurate translations

This is the best children's Bible I have seen. My 7 year old grandson can hardly put it down. The pictures are very realistic without adding imaginary content as most kids' bibles do. The text paraphrases the stories fairly accurately - without watering down the truth of each story. Adults can add spiritual concepts to the simple stories presented. I will buy more for the young children I know. Thanks.
BESTEST. We've used others but this is the one for the kids.

This bood was discontinued for a long time, and I got it on the used market. I got 6 copies. We have used this Bible for about 7 years now. Our oldest (10)started when she was (3). We try to read almost every night. They do not get tired of the Biblical stories and the great illustrations. 6 per page. Because of this Bible, my 3 children answer most questions in Sunday School. We've tried may others, but only this one keeps the kids attenention, from preschool to teenagers. ITS THE BEST. BLessings, IN CHRIST...
The Best Picture Bible -- hands down
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
This is by far the best picture bible I've ever found. I hold a BA in Bible and find time and again this book is accurate, readable and ideal for teaching children an overview of Scripture. Its pictures are wonderful, able to hold the attention of a 3 year old while teaching eternal truths to "children" of all ages.
Unusually accurate cartoon-style Bible story book;
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
This is the only illustrated Bible story book that I have ever seen, that I can really recommend. Comparing the stories to a simple-English-language Bible reveals a careful attention to detail and significance in what is necessarily an abbreviated story. This alone is almost unique. The careful consideration of age- appropriate language is still unusual enough to be noteworthy. But the pictures!I could count the anachronisms I have caught on the fingers of one hand. In most picture Bibles, this score is exceeded before the third page. But every detail seems to have been carefully researched: clothing, weapons, architecture, technology, are all taken from contemporary evidence. Most books just draw the people in robes. Not this one! Goliath wears armor and headdress right off Merenptah's pictures of the Sea Peoples. Israelite robes, Roman togas, Persian headgear, are all carefully distinguished. Even the geography is carefully represented. I highly recommend this book as the second resource (after an appropriate Bible translation such as NCB/ICB) for anyone teaching 4-10 year olds.
