"- Westminster Theological Seminary BOOKSTOREThe Jesus Storybook Bible is unlike any other book of fairy tales. It is true, which is expected when you combine amazing illustrations of James and the award-winning writing of Sally Lloyd-Jones, an Englishman with an extraordinary ability to tell stories.

   I enjoy every aspect of this Bible. Illustrated by Jago are both charming and fascinating. There are stories of the fifties, a good balance. The text itself is exactly what I listen to my children, theologically. I love this line from the first chapter. "The Bible is not primarily about you and what to do. God is and what he did. "Amen.
   The subtitle is "Every story whispers his name" and, in fact, each story has. "No, the Bible is a rule book or a book of heroes. The Bible is most of all a story. It is an adventure story of a young hero who comes from a foreign country to recover the lost treasure. It is a love story … You see, best of all this is – is true. There are plenty of stories of the Bible, but all the stories you are telling a great story. The story of how God loves his children and tries to save them. "
   She will say that the center of the story is a child who is like the missing piece of a puzzle that makes all the other pieces fit together, and to show the beautiful image. She remains true to this goal, pointing to Christ with each story, helping children see the whispers of redemption throughout. If you buy a single child History of the Bible, I recommend it for you.

   As pastor I just finished preaching an overview of the Bible – I'm passionate about gettting people to see the whole picture. So I was very excited to see this to children. The idea is excellent, linking each story of Jesus is wonderful. Our 4 year old daughter has begun to see the connections now. And that excites me. I like how it fits into every story with the plot line of the Bible.
   But I have a couple of caveats.
   As children get a lot of photos I was very disappointed with the artwork. The quality is excellent, but the content very poor, and highlights the misunderstandings of the Bible, the Bible in fact it seems less credible. Noah's ark is shown balancing precariously on top of the mountain, besides being so stupid as that is often drawn – nothing to do with the proportions given in the Bible. Jericho is a city of five home – not so much a conquest there. Goliath is to look like an ogre of a fairy tale of appalling proportions. The people of Israel to reach the Red Sea look like a small Sunday school exit rather than 1. 5 million people making the exodus. I could go. For me, images of undermining the very words they are trying to do – push the stories into the realm of fairy tales.
   (A much better set of illustrations are by Gail Schoonmaker in The Big Picture Story Bible written by David Helm.)
   Advice to others is that sometimes Lloyd-Jones is a bit "loose in history, doing things that are not in the hall. For example – that Jesus is bathed in golden light at his baptism, there are three wise men, Jesus, winking at the man who brought 5 loaves and saying, "Look at this" and others. It's little things, "says Jacob waited 7 years to marry Rachel, instead of just one week, as God's creation, saying:" Hi Light ", as the use of" father "Father – a word that carries the same Abba connotations. As the power of the people '5000 ', over 5,000 men, plus a lot more women and children. Like Jesus, playing with the kids. Be as small as Zacchaeus had to take a flying leap to get to the chair for breakfast.
   In a sense they are little things, and is in the style of the books of other children. And herein lies the problem – the Bible is not another children's book. And 'true in every detail – so when it is a children's version of the Bible must be true in every detail. We owe it to our children.
   I prefer not having to change history, as I say. Growing up, we had the history of Children's Bible by Catherine Vos read to us. Occasionally people thought to stretch the text, when we look at our Bible we found was the reason. Since we read so often, a large amount of accurate knowledge of the Bible has been absorbed. This is what I'm searching the Bible for children.
   Having said that – the links to Jesus often stop and praise God for Jesus, we read this general picture after the biblical story – I highly recommend. And this is probably the best – for the children of others, Bibles and correct on the fly.
   Looking forward to the revised edition of this well potentially enormous.

   By Sally Lloyd-Jones, single, child-friendly style, The Jesus Storybook Bible tells 43 stories of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. But this book is more than a collection of Bible stories. Each story in some way relates to Jesus and that is to give children an overview of what God is all.
   What I like: Sally Lloyd-Jones, has a special gift for writing for children. His sense of humor is spinkler whole – and not underestimate the importance of the message of the Bible. I also appreciate the author's clear understanding that parents should help children understand that Bible stories are different from the fairy tales. As you say, "Look, the best part about this is – is true. It takes the whole Bible to tell this story. And in the center of the story is a child. Every story in the Bible whispers his name. He is like the missing piece of a puzzle – the piece that makes all the other pieces fit together and suddenly you can see a beautiful image. "The illustrations of award-winning artist Jago are also attractive, colorful, and often beyond the obvious.
   What I Like: Nothing.
   Overall rating: Excellent.
   Actions Age: 4 to 8.
