The only thing I would like that is not in the book is a question area or discussion area after each chapter. Bible based stories told in K-3rd grade language and illustrations that attract and keep children's attention. Every story contains a Gospel message. Very useful as a Sunday school tool. The Jesus Storybook Bible: A Bible like no other, this book invites children to discover for themselves that Jesus is at the center of God's great story for salvation. At the center of the Story is a baby, the child upon whom everything will depend. Every story whispers his name. From the Old Testament through the New Testament, as the Story unfolds, children will pick up the clues and piece together the puzzle.
Additional Details Number of Volumes. Reviews "The Jesus Storybook Bible is unlike any other storybook. Not only is each story as vividly illustrated as it is portrayed, but also each tale is telling one Big Story tm the Story of Jesus. Every Story Whispers His Name' disproves the adage that you can't judge a book by its cover.
Jago's award-winning cover art is a foretaste of the whimsically insightful and richly colored drawings that await you on every one of the book's pages. The illustrations alone are worth the price of the book Jago the illustrator, and Sally Lloyd-Jones the author, are a good pair. She brings the same creativity and sense of humor to her telling of the Bible's stories But Lloyd-Jones's writing isn't cutesy.
She has a grasp of the profound. How does one explain to a child the agony of Jesus in Gethsemane, and his prayer of surrender to his Father? Lloyd-Jones does it as well as any biblical commentator The title and subtitle are even better than the book's delightful illustrations and narrative -- because they provide, in one deft stroke, the interpretive key that unlocks the meaning of the whole Bible.
The Scriptures are not merely a collection of stories designed to teach moral lessons. Jago lives in Cornwall, England, with his wife and daughter. Our customer reviews This is the best children's Bible I have come across. It tells the complete story of God's love for people from His perspective - the greatest love story ever told. The illustrations are excellent and the use of language brilliant.
It traces God's fingerprint throughout scripture. A must for children and for adults too. If you know someone who is interested in the Bible but doesn't know where to start this is an excellent starting point as it gives you the big picture. As it says itself "There are lots of stories in the Bible, but all the stories are telling one Big Story. The Story of how God loves his children and comes to rescue them.
Such a fantastic book, for children and adults both! My faith has been refreshed and simplified by this wonderful book, which puts each story of the bible in context of the big picture.

The Jesus Storybook Bible
The Story of how God loves his children and comes to rescue them. It takes the whole Bible to tell this Story.
And at the center of the Story, there is a baby. Every Story in the Bible whispers his name. He is like the missing piece in the puzzle - the piece that makes all the other pieces fit together, and suddenly you can see a beautiful picture. And this is no ordinary baby.
This is the Child upon whom everything would depend. This is the Child who would one day - but wait. Our Story starts where all good stories start. Right at the very beginning Oct 04, Kristen rated it it was amazing Recommends it for: I love every aspect of this Bible. The illustrations by Jago are both charming and intriguing. There are about fifty stories, a good balance. The text itself is exactly what I want my children to hear, theologically. I love this line from the very first chapter. It's an adventure story about a young Hero who comes from a far country to win back his lost treasure.
It's a love story You see, the best thing about this Story is -- it's true. She stays true to this aim, pointing to Christ with every story, helping children to see the whispers of redemption through it all. If you buy just one Children's Story Bible, I'd commend this one to you. Nov 01, Skylar Burris rated it really liked it Shelves: I keep hoping the next one will compensate for the deficiencies of the last. In fact, I have absolutely no idea how my children acquired it, but today my son brought it to me and asked me to read it.

I flipped a few pages back to see who the publisher was…Zonderkidz. For kids, you see. With a z, no less. Let me just say this discovery did nothing to abate, and quite a bit to increase, my cynicism. But then I started reading…and the greater part of my cynicism slowly faded. The stories are certainly child friendly. They certainly have a non-droll style. But the overall quality of the writing was much better than I anticipated. The style was actually somewhat effective, despite being non-serious. The pages were enjoyable to read aloud. There's a strong sense of God's grace coursing throughout the storytelling, an idea that these stories, even the most violent of them, point to a gentler, beautiful, and loving truth.
It does this, too, I think, without seeming pollyanish, without turning God into a teddy bear. My opinion could very well change as I read more. But it was nice to put the breaks on my jaded, gut reaction and to find quite a few things to appreciate about this Bible. But if I can revert to my usual cynical self for a moment, based on what I've read, there are too many chunks of the story left out.
The chunks are left out because the author is busy making a point, a worthy point, but I wonder if that point could have been made without, for instance, boiling down the ten commandments to, say, four. Now, if you wanted to boil them down to TWO, the two Jesus and the prophets specified love the Lord your God with all your heart and all your mind and your neighbor as yourself , okay, but why four?
I think that sort of thing is going to annoy me after awhile. But for now, I leave my rating at four stars. Today we read from page one through the end of the Noah story. The Japanese invented lacquer. No, he sent a raven out first. Actually, it went dove, raven, then dove. Like by flames or fire. View all 3 comments. Dec 11, Amie Geyman rated it it was amazing.

The Jesus Storybook Bible: Every Story Whispers His Name
I love how The Jesus Storybook Bible brings every chapter back to God's never stopping, never giving up, unbreakable, always and forever love. The book says ages 4 and up. Even though my 2 year old didn't understand every story, he did understand who Jesus was in each story and that Jesus loved him. We finished every chapter with singing Jesus Loves Me. Sep 30, Toni Harms rated it it was ok. The more I read this the more I don't like it. I think it would be better labeled the Jesus storybook, because this is not the bible.
In fact it is so added too and taken from its far from the bible. Just to mention a few theological discrepancies in the very beginning God says " hello stars" it does not say he spoke them into existence. To go on the story of Rachel and Leah frustrates me to no end. Ra The more I read this the more I don't like it. Rachel is popular and stuck up, and Leah is a victim. Then one day Laban had a sudden idea, Jacob has been working for me all this time, I should let him marry one of my daughters.
The bible tells us Jacob loved Rachel right away and was working to win her marriage. It was Jacobs idea from the beginning.

Then there is the Passover, it might not seem like a big deal to change simple wording, but in this place I believe it is a very, very big deal. In the jsb Jesus says this bread is "like" my body and this wine is "like" my blood. Jesus true words are this is my body and this is my blood, big difference. Another problem I have are the assumptions it describes. Like when God changes his mind about Isaacs sacrifice, it says " great sobs shook the old mans whole body.

Scalding tears filled his eyes. And for a long time they stayed like that, in each others arms, the boy and his dad. Some of these things may seem small, but from a young age I am telling my children over and over again that the bible is Gods words. What would it then look like when they ask why these other things are not in the bible. I do find this book very moving by its wording and believe it has some great stories for kids, but when it comes to reading them the bible and telling them it's the absolute word of God, I will stick to the real thing.
View all 4 comments. May 29, Ebookwormy1 rated it it was amazing Shelves: The strength of this book is two fold. One, every story ends with a reference to Jesus, showing how He illustrates a truth, fulfills a prophecy, exemplifies a character trait, etc. Secondly, the illustrations are truly unique and not "westernized. People and angels come in various colors. This book is part of our regular Bible rotation, and we have given it as gifts for Christmas, Birthday and baby showers. Advertisements The strength of this book is two fold. Advertisements list the age as , but we started at 2. In moments of impatience associated with this young age, we would skip some, just reading the highlights.
Now that he is school age, he is almost ready for another trip through where he will do the reading! The pictures are engaging and this book is often chosen to sit with, even before he could read. Read-Aloud Bible Stories, Lindvall, https: Jesus Loves Me, Anderson, https: Mar 15, April rated it it was amazing Shelves: This is a truly lovely children's Bible that does SO many things right.
The best thing it does is trace the story of Jesus through the whole Bible--it shows how every story points to the Ultimate Story in a way that is very graspable. The illustrations are SO well done--it's so relieving to see diversity in color of skin and body type. It isn't a Bible full of Middle Eastern inexplicable white people like the children's Bible I grew up with. I am not what you would call this Bible's typical audie This is a truly lovely children's Bible that does SO many things right.
I am not what you would call this Bible's typical audience no babies but I really enjoyed my time reading this work just as, like, a person. Anyone can learn something from this work from any walk of life.
The Jesus Storybook Bible: Every Story Whispers His Name by Sally Lloyd-Jones
Nov 11, Danielle rated it it was amazing Shelves: It's really astonishing how good this is. Recently, we started reading straight through it, one story a night, with our son who will be five at the end of November His questions and understanding of our covenant faith have matured a lot during this family time.
He wants to start it over from the beginning. I can't recommend this highly enough for parents of small children, and even for new Christians. I've benefited greatly from it myself, and I've been a Christian my whole lif Phenomenal. I've benefited greatly from it myself, and I've been a Christian my whole life. Dec 27, Sara rated it it was amazing Shelves: My husband and I absolutely loved the first book that we read by Sally Lloyd-Jones, Song of the Stars, so we were excited to read this storybook Bible.
I had also had many recommendations from friends who told me how much they liked the first edition of this Bible storybook. So as soon as we received this book, we started reading a story every night to our three-year-old daughter. From the beginning, we were pleased. Everything in the Bible points to Christ as our Savior, and that is exactly what this Bible storybook does.

It makes you think so much more about some of the Old Testament accounts because of how clearly each story shows how Christ has been there from the beginning and will continue to be there through the end. Read my complete review here - http: Jan 14, Nick rated it really liked it Shelves: The more I read and understand the Bible, the more I find it difficult to teach certain stories to kids and feel that I'm being honest to the meaning.
Think of the stories that we teach in Sunday School: Noah's ark death and distruction on an epic scale with a smiling family sailing atop bloated corpses 3. Joshua and the Battle of Jericho prostitution, warfare 4. David and Goliath "its ok to hit bad people as long as God tells you too.. David and Goliath "its ok to hit bad people as long as God tells you too You get the picture. Many Children's Bibles have sanitized them so that they have to make up morals or lessons to impose on the story.
I Don't agree with all the choices but it ties together the grand narrative of Scripture in a way few if any children's Bibles do. View all 5 comments. Sep 23, R. Rodda rated it it was amazing Shelves: This children's bible story is unique because it doesn't just retell the stories of the bible, but also links them to the greater gospel story. This helps primary school aged children understand how God's plan of redemption unfolds from the Old Testament stories to the New, putting it all into context.
