great childrens bible	Customer Rating:
we bought this bible on a friend's recommendation, and I am really happy with it. we read it to our 3 year old, and each story is short enough and simple enough to hold her attention, yet I think it is probably appropriate for up to 7 or 8 year olds too. each chapter points to the gospel and Jesus' coming as part of God's plan. this is the best childrens bible I have seen yet.

Wonderful recommendation!

Customer Rating:

This book was recommended by someone, I waited awhile before I purchased it, I finally found it at a Books-a-Million store, browsed through it and decided, I had to have it. My little boy is 6 years old and he loves the stories and illustrations. We read a couple every night at bedtime and I am learning again the older bible stories from my childhood as well. I also bought the book Handbag Friends from this same author Sally Lloyd Jones. My daughter will receive this at her 3rd birthday, very cute.. it's hot pink in the shape of a handbag. Thanks, A.S. from Bring The Rain ;) -Joy

Excellent!

Customer Rating:

This is a terrific book that my daughter loves. I find myself learning along with her how every story in the Bible relates to God's plan of salvation. The pictures and layout are quality and the language it uses makes for a very enjoyable read. It is exciting to see how interested my little one is to learn about God through this book. I highly recommend it to any parent who wants to teach their children about the word of God.

Best Ever!	Customer Rating:
This Bible Storybook is wonderful, fantastic, awesome!! I think anyone with children should have it. I bought 5 so I could start blessing all the young families I have a reason to give a gift to and also so I could have one at my home (no children at home any longer.)

Stories not accurate to Bible

Customer Rating:

I was so excited when I orginally read reviews about this book. My Daughter had out grown the toddler Bible story books and this look appeared perfect. Unfortunately, after I started reading it with her I soon found that the stories were not truely accurate to the Bible. The heart of the stories are there but the author embelishes the stories which when teaching a child is inappropriate. The child doesn't know that what is written is not authentic and that is unacceptable. I have wanted to write a review for a number of months but had put it off and tonight when I signed on to write the review I did see another user that had the same issue with the book as I do and I encourage you to read that review for examples but I will give at least one example. Here is an excerpt from the story of David and Goliath: Begin Quote "Chickens!" Goliath bellowed. "Your God can't save you! I'll rip your heads off and have you on toast!" His beady, greedy eyes glowered at them hungrily from under his horrible helmet - as if any minute he really might just gobble them all up. And he laughed his terrible laugh. "Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha" it boomed, echoing horribly around and around the dry, dry valley. Well, Goliath might just as well have been a green slimy monster with three heads because God's people froze with fear. End quote Most of what you read here will not be found in the Bible. You can recognize that most of it is creative story telling but even the quote of Goliath saying "Your God can't save you" that is not found in the Bible; in fact Goliath never makes a reference to God. I kept looking for a Bible book and have been happy with "First Bible Stories" see link below First Bible Stories
