shows how all the stories in the Bible point to Jesus.
The Moonbeam Award Gold Medal Winner in the religion category, The Jesus Storybook Bible tells the Story beneath all the stories in the Bible.
At the centre of the Story is a baby, the child upon whom everything will depend. Every story whispers his name. From Noah to Moses to the great King David - every story points to him. He is like the missing piece in a puzzle - the piece that makes all the other pieces fit together.
From the Old Testament through the New Testament, as the Story unfolds, children will pick up the clues and piece together the puzzle. A Bible like no other, The Jesus Storybook Bible invites children to join in the greatest of all adventures, to discover for themselves that Jesus is at the centre of God’s great story of salvation and at the centre of their Story too.

I highly recommend this storybook Bible. Adults will benefit from reading it through in one sitting. So will teenagers. But its intended audience is young children from 3 or 4 up to the end of primary school. I’d encourage parents and children’s ministry leaders to get a copy. Read it through first and then take it a chapter at a time.... continue reading
I have bought several copies of this book to give to children over the years. It is instantly appealing by its design and size and from the very first page the reader is drawn into the Biblical story with appealing illustrations and excellent writing that concisely describes each major theme, event and story whilst continually pointing to the One who will fulfil and make good all our stories. Easily understood by children and well-written enough to keep adults hooked. I am invariably moved to tears by it.
Wanted a special gift for one of my granddaughters that her parents could read to her. This is excellent.
The bible arrived in good time. I love the Jesus sorry book bible. It has a beautiful way, for kids and adults, of showing how the whole bible points to Jesus.
This is a beautifully written and illustrated Story Bible for children. It picks various narratives from the Bible and Sally rewrites them in a way that children can understand and always thread Jesus into each one...showing how the Bible fits together as a whole. I have given several away to friends and family as they make excellent Dedication or Christening presents.
This is a book that we give to every parent we know, often as a first birthday present. The pictures are beautiful and the stories are clear as well as heartwarming. Jesus is woven into each story and it is a fantastic book to give to Christian and non-Christian parents.
This is such a great book. Too good for children! It is so simply and beautifully written. Buy two and give one away.
I love this book- were only just starting reading it with our daughter but already I can see how wonderfully it is written and the illustrations are great. The stories are told in a very understandable way for children to grasp the concepts of the bible like sin and God, heaven etc. Definitely recommend this to young families, great to read little bits each night with your children as they gradually learn our Gods great master plan for our lives!
We love this Bible. It's one of the main ones we rotate through for my son's Bible stories at bedtime. I particularly like the language which gives a real beauty to the stories and captures children's imaginations; the story of Jairus' daughter brings a tear to my eye and is worth the purchase price alone. We also use it for reading out at our church toddler group (although bear in mind that the stories are sometimes too long for that group's attention span). I recommend it though - I would say it's more easily understandable for younger children than the 'Big Picture Bible' which has shorter chunks and brighter pictures but less concrete language.
I bought this as my boys (4 & 6) had outgrown The Beginner's Bible. We read this before bed and it is excellent, they love the descriptive nature of the stories as it is just right for their understanding. The lovely pictures are a great help at illustrating the message.
I bought this Bible for my 4 years old daughter. And she really loves it. It is Jesus centered and the story line is kept all trough the Bible. So it reeds more like one great story rather then small individual not connected stories.
