Perhaps the greatest value of this book is how it can train parents (and anyone in a position of teaching) to teach the Scriptures rightly to their children. I love this book, and those words about it are amazing not just for children, but and essencialy for all of us. Could I tell them about the time I tied the tails of foxes together, set them on fire, and sent them running through the Philistines’ vineyards?

Excerpted from The Jesus Storybook Bible by Sally Lloyd-Jones Copyright © 2009 by Sally Lloyd-Jones . Each story is simply told and ends with a simple pointer as to how the story fits into the 'bigger story' of God's redemptive plan.Sometimes she does this with startling insight: Her take on the story of Leah and Rachel is an ancient reading of the text that points straight to the gospel and the doctrine of election. From the Old Testament through the New Testament, as the Story unfolds, children will pick up the clues and piece together the puzzle. She loves retelling the stories and the best part is that I didn’t have to ask her to read it, she was drawn to it! Her two newest books are Tiny Cedric, illustrated by Rowboat Watkins (2021) and Little One, We Knew You’d Come, illustrated by Eve Tharlet (2022). I came across this bible when babysitting for a friend's child, and have now bought it for my own children and as a gift for others.

But she manages to show again and again the presence of Christ in all the Old Testament Scriptures, and the presence of the Old Testament Scriptures in the life of Christ.Beautifully written by New York Times bestselling author Sally Lloyd Jones and illustrated by awarding winning artist Jago.

I gave him this one, and he says the pictures, the style of writing, and the way the stories has told has helped him to understand the Bible for the first time in his life. She’s almost 9 now and she read this book voraciously cover to cover in just a few days and keeps it on the breakfast table to read with some of her favorites each morning. May you and your household be blessed through the words on these pages as my family and I have been and continue to be. It's NOT a BIBLE (in the sense that it doesn't contain all the chapters and verses), but a collection of Bible stories (or should I say, Biblical passages) recounted.I create my work entirely digitally from my home in North Cornwall, using a combination of a Mac and an iPad. The bestselling The Jesus Storybook Bible, written by Sally Lloyd-Jones and illustrated by Jago, is celebrating its phenomenal success with this beautiful clothbound gift edition. The Jesus Storybook Bible says it all: The Scriptures are not merely a collection of stories designed to teach moral lessons. 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. Often I think that difficult stories have been tackled well - eg the story of Abraham being asked to sacrifice Isaac is often one which we gloss over with children, as many adults find it more difficult to comprehend than the children we are explaining it to, I think the author tells the story beautifully - I'm not an emotional person, but more than once have been choked up reading this!
