My Favorite Bible

December 1, 2011 by sjbraun

No, I’m not talking about my favorite Bible today, but a Bible storybook for kids. One of my fondest memories of my girls being little is of them listening to, and later reading, kids’ Bibles. We have had several, and they’re dog-eared from use. A good thing!

So, although my girls have passed the age for this type of Bible and are on to the “real thing,” I was excited to learn about a new children’s Bible:

With the vibrant illustrations and engaging text in this Bible storybook, you can enjoy sharing the best-loved stories of the Bible with the children in your life and encourage a life-long love for the Word of God. My Favorite Bible is a book of exciting Bible stories and activity pages that guide children through the foundational truths of Scripture.

Each story is fully illustrated and includes a simple narrative full of things kids love: repetition, rhythm, and energy, along with a key biblical theme, a key Bible verse, and discussion questions to help adults introduce children to the Bible.

The colorful illustrations will capture the imaginations of children ages 4–8, and the stories will help adults to pass along the most important truth in life—the Gospel. Families will cherish this time as they read, listen, learn, and love, growing closer to one another even as they grow closer to God.

I’ve not had the chance to see this book for myself, but it sounds great. You can look inside to get a better idea of its contents here. It’s billed for ages 4-8, but from the excerpt I viewed, I’d recommend it for the lower end of that. It also includes several pages of ideas for parents to extend each story with an activity.

I was happy when Baker Publishing Group gave me the opportunity to spread a little Christmas cheer by offering one of you this neat Bible storybook for your child or another child you know.

Enter by December 8; I’ll announce a winner December 9.

Do you know a little girl just learning to read chapter books who has access to a Kindle? May I suggest my children’s book, “Sophie, Pay Attention (Rhoda, You Too)!”

For the price of a Happy Meal, you’ll give a little girl hours of enjoyment learning a valuable lesson from a little-known Bible character.

I have not heard of this book. Your description of the illustrations would be a feature that little children would enjoy looking at, even if they can not yet read.

We loved this one: http://www.amazon.com/Childs-Story-Bible-Catherine-Vos/dp/0802850111/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1322761835&sr=8-1 As well as the Golden one that Memoria Press likes for their Christian Studies program http://www.memoriapress.com/descriptions/ChristianStudies.html

FYI: I got the first one, along with a set of McGuffey readers and another book, “free” for joining the Conservative Book club in College (while still a flaming liberal) knowing I’d want them for my kids! I bought the minimum number (for graduate students who paid me) and quit the club!!!
