A timeless classic of Bible stories for children




How I remember my mother reading a children's Bible story book to my sister each night before she went to bed.  While not this version, it is similar and I firmly believe those words didn't fall on deaf ears.  From Creation to Revelation, your child will learn stories directly lifted from both New and Old Testament Scripture and put into words that are easily understood.   Each story contains the scripture reference and a short Bible story in a large easy to read font that can be read to them or that they can read for themselves as young beginning readers.  Vibrant colored illustrations adorn each page of the story and some of the expressions on the people are quite amusing.  I think they will captures the eye of all young readers and listeners.

The only fault I find with the volume is the weight--it is heavy.   Easy enough for adult hands to hold onto but I think young children will have a bit of difficulty holding the book up and open to read.  It is definitely more of a lay in your lap or on a table to read book but easily carried around in a child's arms.  It does have a durable binding and substantial cover which will protect it well.   An added bonus is a dictionary in the back, explaining terms such as leprosy, Passover, and Tabernacle which aren't so commonly used today but will help the reader in understanding.  I would definitely recommend this volume of Bible stories to any child ages 2-8.

I did receive this book free from the publisher in exchange for an honest review and was in no way obligated to write a positive one.
