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
The hard cover ensures it will last years, and the stories and illustrations passionate adults and children. We were given this at our baby's dedication at church and ever since have bought it to offer too.
I haven't read the whole thing yet, but it's a great approach to biblical stories. It's NOT a BIBLE (in the sense that it doesn't contain all the chapters and verses), but a collection of Bible stories (or should I say, Biblical passages) recounted. It's a great addition to a children's Bible and I hope my kids will read it when they get old enough!
The stories we have read so far are very close to the text (not just "stories" but actual passages of the Bible) and there is always a conclusion that points to Jesus, which is really well done (it's done in a very natural way without implying that the passage itself points to Jesus). I totally recommend it!
I chose this lovely book for a Christmas gift as my Assistant Minister used it in church to talk to the children. Great to introduce children to God's Word & Truth!
We have been reading this to my daughter since her birth, and she enjoys the stories and illustrations very much. The theology is excellent, giving children a redemptive-historical hermeneutic from childhood. The stories are written in a beautiful and moving way; I tear up most every time I read it to her.
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.
