RSSBook Review: Jesus Storybook Bible
The Jesus Storybook Bible
By Sally Lloyd-Jones

Summary:
A children’s Bible written for preteens, this accessible yet theology-rich bedtime Bible is not only one of the best ones for kids, but hits home with adults as well.
Strengths:
This is a Bible that your kids will enjoy just as much as you’ll enjoy reading it. Though I’m not often much of a softie, I was reduced to tears several times by the wonderful story of our God and His love for His rebellious creation.
Sally Lloyd-Jones is a gifted writer with the right touch of sensitivity towards her audience as well as the right mix of doctrine in her storytelling. It never gets too corny. The illustrations capture the approximate feel of the people and environment in biblical times. And the major events — Noah’s flood, Moses and the Red Sea, David versus Goliath, Jonah versus the fish, the life of Jesus — are captured with the right spectacle and aplomb.

We and our children like this version a lot. We only wish that the author/publisher had used a proofreader who adhered a little more closely to the rules.
