Book Description: A Bible story for every day—365 of the best-loved Bible stories fully illustrated in a classic style will become favorites for children and parents alike, with each story divided into easy-to-read sections with the day, heading, and Scripture reference. Children are encouraged to spend family time together reading a new story each day.
Old Testament: From the Story of Creation to Isaac, from Joseph to Ruth, from Job to David, from Elisha to the Prophets.
New Testament: From John the Baptist to the story of Jesus, to the story of the Apostles, to John’s Vision of Heaven.
My Thoughts: This book was quite a surprise . . . a nice surprise! I was expecting a soft back, kind of cartoony looking book but instead this is a lovely hardback book with realistic looking "drawings" of biblical characters and sceneries.
The biblical "stories are short, almost like a novella, a retelling of the Scripture, not the exact Scripture. However, the retelling does not stray from the Scripture. The "story" form just makes it easier for kids to read and comprehend. The Bible reference for each retelling is right below the title of that retelling.
This is a book for older children. The suggested ages are 8-10 years old but I would extend the ages from 7-12. Actually any elementary age child that is reading would probably enjoy this book.
Kids like short, to the point lessons. And this is one of those books that gives the kids a non-detailed version. But it would be great for the parent to read the Bible verses to the child or with the child.
I think this could be a great devotional tool.
This book would also make a great gift!
We loved the book! My 13 year old said, "Wow! Nice book" Now that's a great compliment from a young teen.
