Description:
The bestselling The Jesus StorybookBible, written by Sally Lloyd-Jones and illustrated by Jago, is celebrating
its phenomenal success with this beautiful clothbound gift edition. The
Jesus Storybook Bible tells the Story beneath all the stories in the
Bible. From Noah to Moses to the great King David––every story points to Jesus.
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.
My Review:
Sally Lloyd-Jones has done a beautiful job re-telling many of the Bible's
stories. I am impressed that she's written them for children without a lot of
sugar coating. Often, Bible stories get watered down and children don't learn
about sin or why Jesus died and was raised. Sally does a nice job and leaves
room for parents and teachers to give more explanation. The colorful
illustrations liven up the pages. I imagine children will love the color and
characterizations of the Bible people. This would make a lovely gift for a
child or a teacher of children. You might consider giving this book as a gift
to students promoted in Sunday School or who have taken the step to accept
Jesus as Savior. It would also be a great for family devotional time.
