Sally in English and live in New York. Another thing I really like about the Jesus story book Bible is it shows how the Bible is one cohesive whole. It's not just giving random Bible stories, which I think a lot of the children's Bibles I went through when growing up, I didn't understand the difference between the Old Testament and the New Testament. I didn't understand how the stories fit together. There was some stories like Daniel and the Lion's Den and David and Goliath, and then there was other stories about Jesus feeding the 5,000 or Paul's nephew realizing that he was going to be killed and going and telling the Romans in authority. And I didn't understand how all of the texts went together as one cohesive whole because that wasn't explained in those storybook Bibles. Where that's something that The Jesus Storybook Bible does really well. It is showing scripture as this one meta narrative focused on God reconciling the world to himself.

I couldn’t. I had to bowdlerize the Bible to make it accessible and acceptable to kids. At what age would they be ready to hear the story unexpurgated? More importantly, at what age would I be able to tell the story in its full Christological significance? The truth is, the Bible is an adult book. Of necessity, we must distort it to teach it to children.

Sometimes she does this with startling insight: Her take on the story of Leah and Rachel is an ancient reading of the text that points straight to the gospel and the doctrine of election. Her telling of the woman’s anointing of Jesus in Simon’s home in Luke 7 connects her act of adoration with Samuel’s anointing of David in 1 Samuel. If you want to engage with your kids and you want to engage with your teens, it's best practice to create spaces and meet kids and teens where they are.” - Melina Luna Smith Tim didn’t have a clue it was being written,” said Kathy, who reviewed the book’s theology for Zondervan before it was published. “The first time we saw it, it was a finished [manuscript].”

Jago’s drawings of the scene moved me to tears. I can only imagine what it will be like to sit with the book open to this scene, a child at my side, and try to read it aloud. In the United Kingdom, the London City Mission passed it out to as many as they could in the poorer parts of the city, former chief executive John Nicholls said. In fact, they handed it out so often to at-risk adults that they asked for—and got—an adult version titled The Story of God’s Love for You. I actually tried to disassociate my career from myself because alI ever knew was what I wanted to be, never who I was going to be. So it led me to a deeper place of understanding. And it changed my whole life.” - Darnell FergusonIt's actually good that you read the Bible first anyways. Characters like Samuel and Elisha are introduced as if you know who they are already, while other major characters get major spotlights before their story. The book “emphasizes the primacy of God’s love in an imbalanced manner,” New Testament professor Charles Lee Irons wrote. “[B]y completely avoiding God’s judgment and by putting a deliberate emphasis on God’s love for his children ‘no matter what,’ Lloyd-Jones distorts the character of God in a way that, in the end, makes it logically impossible to believe that he is a God of holiness, wrath, or judgment.” The Jesus Storybook Bible Curriculum features everything you need for nearly a year of lessons! Kit includes… individual lesson plans plus 6 review lessons (3 Old Testament, 3 New Testament – available online) plus ideas for engaging activities, easy-to-use instructions and notes for teachers based on material from Timothy Keller, memory verses, color handouts, and more.

Having a narrator also let her end each story with a glimpse of what is to come (“I love cliffhangers”).

Jago the illustrator, and Sally Lloyd-Jones (no relation to Martyn) the author, are a good pair. She brings the same creativity and sense of humor to her telling of the Bible’s stories.

The Jesus Storybook Bible, which is often given at baby showers or baptisms, has a fascinating birth story of its own.

That's a possibility, but he actually asks good questions about the things that are being read. So even our young children are not too young to be read scripture. So that would be my recommendation. I think there's a lot of great things about the Jesus story, but Bible, I think we need to be really careful when we're reading it that we're not elevating God's love above His other attributes. What follows is a paraphrase of John 1:11–13, and an invitation to say yes to Jesus and receive his wonderful gift.Another thing that I think the Jesus story Book Bible does well is I think that they've done a good job of pulling out key narratives in the text. Anytime someone is writing a children's Bible, they cannot include every single narrative in scripture nor every single portion of scripture. And I think that the author of The Jesus Storybook Bible, I believe it's Sally Lloyd Jones, I think she's done a really great job of identifying what are key narratives that our kids really need to understand if they're to understand the whole story of the Bible. Another debate came over the illustrator. Lloyd-Jones, who majored in art history and worked with illustrators in previous jobs, had a vision for how the book needed to look. She was silent, worried that voicing her opinion (again) would turn the tide against her. But then a young designer said, “I think Jago is right for this.” Is the perfect kids’ Bible for any age up to 6th grade, as well as church ministry or Sunday school Written for children ages four and up, The Jesus Storybook Bible tells the one story underneath all the stories of the Bible and points to the birth of a child, the Rescuer, Jesus.
