I have 4 children; my oldest child is 15 and my youngest is 6 。。。 I've read through a lot of children's Bibles over the years。 I really like this one for the early elementary age。 Each story is a two page spread with a well written 2-4 paragraph summary of the story and nicely drawn art work。 While many children's Bibles only include the highlights, this one walks carefully through the biblical narrative from Genesis to Revelation。 It doesn't shy away from the hard stories, but shares them in a I have 4 children; my oldest child is 15 and my youngest is 6 。。。 I've read through a lot of children's Bibles over the years。 I really like this one for the early elementary age。 Each story is a two page spread with a well written 2-4 paragraph summary of the story and nicely drawn art work。 While many children's Bibles only include the highlights, this one walks carefully through the biblical narrative from Genesis to Revelation。 It doesn't shy away from the hard stories, but shares them in a way that is age appropriate。 (For example, this Bible actually includes a description of the desolation and judgements described in Revelation。 Looking through 5 other good children's Bibles we own, this is the only one that touches on Revelation beyond a cheerful "Jesus is coming back soon。" I'm not criticizing the others, but simply using that as an illustration of the thoroughness of this one。) With my older children being well beyond the "Bible story" stage, I've had to be more intentional to not neglect such readings for my youngest。 It's worked well to include this at the beginning of our school day, and she was excited to finish it this morning。 😊 。。。more

Gorgeous illustrations, and solid Bible stories without too much interpretation by the author。

We've been telling our grandson Bible Stories using this book。 Now that he's older we can read them to him。 I don't there is any exhaustive Bible Story book and so I believe its up to me to share anything else that can be helpful and bridge the gap from 1 story to another。 The end time stories at the end is also very relevant, maybe to the days in which we live even more than at any other time。 Unfortunately it's been called a Children's Bible whereas its a book very helpful to all ages。 I'm so We've been telling our grandson Bible Stories using this book。 Now that he's older we can read them to him。 I don't there is any exhaustive Bible Story book and so I believe its up to me to share anything else that can be helpful and bridge the gap from 1 story to another。 The end time stories at the end is also very relevant, maybe to the days in which we live even more than at any other time。 Unfortunately it's been called a Children's Bible whereas its a book very helpful to all ages。 I'm so grateful to be able to send it to people in the north who have limited resources。 :) 。。。more

To be honest, we didn't finish this picture Bible all the way through。 We were well into January when I realized I hadn't been reading the Bible regularly with my kids, and the reason is because we (or at least I) just wasn't getting anything out of the stories。 Sure, the illustrations are probably one of the best I've seen, but the stories are short and disjointed, and several are not child-friendly in my opinion (my kids are ages 6, 4 & 3)。 Yes, I get that they are in the Bible, but without co To be honest, we didn't finish this picture Bible all the way through。 We were well into January when I realized I hadn't been reading the Bible regularly with my kids, and the reason is because we (or at least I) just wasn't getting anything out of the stories。 Sure, the illustrations are probably one of the best I've seen, but the stories are short and disjointed, and several are not child-friendly in my opinion (my kids are ages 6, 4 & 3)。 Yes, I get that they are in the Bible, but without context some of the stories just come across as strange or even morbid, and I found myself explaining a lot of background。 We will switch to a picture Bible intended for a younger audience, as well as a NLT version for sections of Psalms and the New Testament。 *Will revise this review in a few years, after we've had a chance to re-visit this Bible。Added Feb 2021: we enjoyed the New Testament part much more than the first half of this Bible。 。。。more

Beautiful。 A simple, yet comprehensive way to present biblical text to kids。 It took us over a year to read through this。 I highly recommend this Bible for family Bible time, and especially if your kids are 10 and under。

We started reading this book in March after my daughter saw some of the medieval images in the series of wooden panels near the altar at Notre Dame (pre-fire: I hope they survived but I don’t know), which re-inspired her interest in the Bible (I’m not sure whether I’m pleasantly surprised or a bit worried by this interest – good thing she has an expert guide!)。 It features condensed versions of numerous biblical stories (and sometimes, in the case of the Gospels, harmonies), with illustrations, We started reading this book in March after my daughter saw some of the medieval images in the series of wooden panels near the altar at Notre Dame (pre-fire: I hope they survived but I don’t know), which re-inspired her interest in the Bible (I’m not sure whether I’m pleasantly surprised or a bit worried by this interest – good thing she has an expert guide!)。 It features condensed versions of numerous biblical stories (and sometimes, in the case of the Gospels, harmonies), with illustrations, which are a collective effort by “Netscribes。” For the most part they’re reliable synopses of major stories and teachings, without glossing over violent episodes; though it’s interesting that almost no dialogue is maintained, and there is no effort to actually quote the bible。 The overall effect of the selection and abridgement seems basically non-sectarian, but at the very end, in the last chapter on the Revelation of John, there is a prayer for the second coming of Christ, almost like an expansion of the scribal colophon, perhaps suggesting the rapture and a primarily Evangelical intended audience。 。。。more
