Product Description
With more than a million copies sold, this classic Scripture provides an ageless Bible story for every day of the year. It's a perfect addition to any Sunday school room or children's church program.
"An imaginative arrangement, preserving the on-going interest of a serial . . . The illustrations are excellent . . . and will hold the listener's eye if the book is being read aloud . . . This selection provides a built-in continuity which other collections lack."?Church Times "Written in a lively, eaily understood style which still retains the dignity of the original . . . The luminous artwork is realistic, expressive and well-researched in detail."?School Library Journal "Many children's books retell Bible stories. This is one of the best for its factual, sensitive and imaginative approach. The stories are allowed to speak for themselves in a panorama of scripture from Genesis to Revelation, and each is beautifully and imaginatively illustrated. [Here is] storytelling par excellence, clear, uncomplicated, concise, superlative."?Churchman "The selections are just the right length . . . After using this book for several months, I can enthusiastically recommend it for families with young children."?Christian Home and School

 A Bible for kids!!! BUT... November 17, 2008
This is a great bedtime story book for kids but you will need to read it to them until they can read it themselves.
But what a great way to tell the story of what the Bible is and what it tells us about people that have been affected by God's presence in their lives, and, what the Bible story is all about. After all, it is a single story from Genesis to Revelation comprised of many individual stories within that single story of salvation.
Many parents, that may have not read the whole Bible through, may find this a revelation to them as to what really is the greatest story ever told! They and their children will learn so much more and can help teach the truth and clarity of each story they read. What fun that can be! You can ask questions of your kids and they can ask questions about the story you just read to them. Great learning tool.
Have fun and enjoy being able to teach your children about God's love for all people and His grace He has shown us from the very beginning of time.
 Used at Church August 29, 2008
We have purchased this Bible storybook for many years for our Kindergarten children. The only thing we don't like about the book is that it is written at a higher reading level. This means that parents need to be reading with their child ... but that isn't such a bad thing. By the time the child is a more independent reader they are ready for their first complete Bible, not a storybook.
The pictures leave a bit to be desired. The fact that this is one of the only (if not only) storybook in a 365 day format is a huge bonus in helping to develop daily Bible reading habits from an early age!
Enjoy! Our families continue to choose this storybook over others!
LOVE the Story Per Day, Sometimes a Bit to Wordy July 13, 2008
I love the format of this children's Bible in that the stories are just a few paragraphs long, one for each day of the year. But they still go into enough detail so the meaning is not lost. My child usually asks me to continue and read further then just the one story-per-day, so it passed the REAL test - that of a child for whom the book is intended.
The illustrations, though, are my favorite. Many children's Bible's are very cotton-candy pastel, and that type of illustration just doesn't hold the attention of my 6 year old boy. These illustrations, however, are realistic, beautiful, rich in color and detail - and they don't gloss over the brutality that is a part of the Old Testament (and yet, at the same time, there's nothing gory or frightening within).
I give this 4 instead of 5 stars because I feel the language is a bit too advanced. I often find myself simplifying sentences or words so that my child can understand the storyline. I also think sometimes this book goes into a bit too much detail in a story, and the child can lose interest.
Still, I think this is one of the best of the bunch for younger children who are not yet ready for reading of the actual Bible, or for whom a condensed story line would be a beneficial addition.
Wonderful to teach your children how to read June 16, 2008
When both my girls were 3 years old I began reading this book to them every night. One story per night. When they were 4 years old, I started over and never underestimated them (kids are much smarter than we give them credit for). They remembered the stories from the previous year. Only this time around, I began showng them how the words are pronounced. By the end of this 2nd year, THEY were reading the book to me. The following year, they began kindergarten. But there was a huge, HUGE difference........my girls already knew how to read! And since then, I now have a child who just completed her 1st year of college and one who just completed her 1st year of high school. Both have had advanced courses and both continue the trend of getting straight As! This little insignificant book can really place your child's feet on solid ground for their future education. And I haven't even began to state the Message of the book. In a world rushing to judgement and a country which has forgotten and outlawed God, this book is a MUST for parents. Hopefully...oh how I hope that a young parent will read this review and follow my example by teaching their children both how to read, and to introduce them to the Lord Jesus.
love this bible May 15, 2008
My 10 year old daughter and I love this bible. We read it together every night, usually two chapters a night. It is great because it is pretty accurate, yet easy to understand. I would recommend it for kids 7-10 or even older. If you child is still too young for the real bible but too old for the baby ones, this one is perfect.
