I liked this book, and would recommend it to Christian parents of young children, and Christian teachers of young children. The simple, engaging text and profusion of colorful pictures won over my young listeners, and older readers. The sound theology won me over. I thought it was perfect for my 3yo and 6yo audience members.
This story Bible recounts biblical history beginning with creation, focussing on the theme of the 'forever king.' The description of Christ's death, burial, and resurrection, simple enough for a young child to grasp, was nevertheless profound enough to move me to tears.
I have only one complaint to make against the book: it pictures Christ, which I can't help but consider as a violation of the law of God. Why must story Bibles do that? This is not the only one I know of to include pictures of Christ.
I read a friend's copy, but am now desirous of owning my own copy, so's I might be able to share it with my children again and again.
Ooh, thanks for the review!
ReplyDeleteSo I bought it... and I do like it pretty well! I will definitely be wanting more Bible story books with more stories in them, but this is a decent place to start. The word to page ratio is just right for my little dude right now.
