Vivid colours, engaging retelling and the old old story of the Lord's promises. It's a great mix for every young child. Read this over and over again at home, in Sunday School and any other opportunity!
This has everything I am looking for in a kids Bible: vivid and colourful artwork, well-told stories, ethnically diverse illustrations, faithfulness to Scripture, and a clear sense of how God’s promises hold history together. A go-to Bible for the next generation of children.
Christian parents, rejoice! God’s Big Promises faithfully tells the big story of the Bible with theological and pastoral care, offering both parent and child a clear and vivid view of the most important storyline ever crafted. Here is the truest and most beautiful story, both simple and profound, a priceless treasure to be passed from one generation to the next.
An excellent first bible for children. My grown up daughter who doesn't have time to read an actual bible yet, also concurs.
Bought in Faith that we will one day give this book to our daughter to read to our grandchildren.
A beautiful, easy-to-understand adaptation of the gospel throughout the Bible. Our almost-three-year-old is the perfect age for it.
Mr. Laferton’s Bible storybook seems to draw you to it. The hard cover is so bright and colorful. The character people look so pleasant and happy.
Every page has drawings on it from Jennifer Davison. There’s no overwhelming amount of text to read on each page, which is perfect for little people with short attention spans.
The gospel message is given throughout the book. Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection story is in place, as well as people like Paul or Peter that share the good news about Jesus to others who then believe and get baptized.
God’s Big Promises Bible Storybook is specifically designed to highlight the promises that God has made, and the promises that God has kept. Special icons on the page edge gives you a quick view of the promise category that Mr. Laferton has designated.
I would highly recommend this book to any family with young children. It’s easy to read, colorful and engaging to look at, and of course it is based off of God’s Word. This Bible Storybook will help your child learn about God starting at an early age.
I also recommend having this book available in any young children’s Sunday school room, children’s church classroom, homeschool, and/or church nursery.
I liked the Easter sticker books very much. Certainly 4 grandchildren 5- 8 enjoyed them. They were pitched just right, but their parents and l did not appreciate the strange looking goggle-eyed characters on most pages in the Bible Book. I returned it. The sticker books were full of activities and there were no pictures of big-eyed characters as in the Bible.
I bought this Children’s ‘Bible’ for our grandson’s 3rd birthday.
I thought the text was really sound and graphics were most engaging. Praying his mum and dad will enjoy reading it to him🙂
Beautiful Bible with an engaging story and bright entertaining illustrations. I love that it has 6 different paths which are colour coded and that it seamlessly weaves in the scripture here and there. The most perfect Bible for kids Easter basket.
God’s Big Promises Bible Storybook has 45 stories from the Old Testament and 47 stories from the New Testament for 92 stories in all. The illustrations are vibrant, detailed, and engaging. Lots of colors and pictures on each page to delight the reader. The font is simple for young readers. Each story lists the corresponding Scripture right under the title.
I think what makes this Bible Storybook unique and different from any others I’ve come across are the “Promise Paths” throughout the book.
There are 6 paths and they are:
To rescue
About his people
About a good land to live in
That he will bring JOY —happiness
About a king
One big story in 20 stories
Each of these paths is color coded with corresponding emblems found throughout the book. These emblems that are shaded in the middle when God makes a promise and the shaded part turns white on the emblem when God keeps a promise.
This is a Bible storybook so expect the language to be as such. There are some direct quotes from Scripture, but this is obviously not Scripture. Yet I still think Bible storybooks have their place with discipling our children. This book would be great for younger kids, ages 1-6. My children are on the older end of this, but still enjoy reading through the stories and looking at the beautiful illustrations.
I received God’s Big Promises Bible Storybook compliments of The Good Book Company in exchange for my honest review.
God’s Big Promises Bible Storybook is a storybook Bible for young children written by Carl Laferton. My family has been greatly blessed by Laferton’s children’s book, The Garden, The Curtain, and The Cross and when I saw that he was releasing a children’s Bible, I couldn’t wait to read it! God’s Big Promises Bible Storybook is for children ages 2-6 and my 5 year old really enjoys it! The illustrations are vibrant which helps keep children engaged.
Each story is brief and communicates deep truths in a way that is understandable to young readers. Sometimes family discipleship time feels defeating because my children struggle to pay attention so I greatly appreciate the brevity of each story. The intro of the Bible includes symbols to help children recognize when God makes promises throughout the story of Scripture and when He keeps promises. Many of the stories contain the symbols. This is a unique attribute of God’s Big Promises Bible Storybook that I appreciate because it helps little ones begin to make whole Bible connections.
We are so grateful for God’s Big Promises Bible Storybook and can’t wait to read more by Carl Laferton!
We were looking for a kid’s Bible focused on the gospel, that shows how the Old Testament speaks of Jesus (John 5:39-40).This Bible has been great for that. The emphasis on God making promises and fulfilling them has allowed us to use it to point our 16 month old daughter to Christ as God’s ultimate fulfilment of these promises!
