I found The Jesus
Storybook Bible by Sally Lloyd-Jones while searching for a bible for my
daughter. The idea is that “every story whispers his name.” Twenty-one Old
Testament stories and 23 New Testament stories are featured from the Creation
Story to Noah to Abraham to the gospels and the parables. It is recommended for
preschool to 6th grade (ages 4-8 years old) readers. It is a great format
to be read aloud or independently.
The opening chapter, “The Story and the Song” is a great
introduction to who God is and what his Word is to us. The Bible is more than
just rules or a guide to life. It is about God and who is he and what he has
done for us. The stories are beautifully illustrated by Jago. The language is simplified
for young readers. There are creative liberties to help illustrate the point of
each story without being too complicated for young readers. A few people who
have reviewed this bible had issues with the liberties; however, I find the Bible
to be a great introduction to who God is, who Jesus is, without going over
their head with philosophy and theology. I highly recommend the Jesus Storybook Bible.
