An important part of our nighttime routine is our evening devotion and The Children's Illustrated Bible has been an important tool. Clear, easy-to-understand language and beautiful artwork make this little book is a treasure for young readers. With simple text and vivid graphic novel style, The Illustrated Bible for Children masterfully retells the exciting episodes of the Old and New Testaments. The illustrations and text are interesting and accurate, it's a wonderful bible for the older children to read on their own, my son is almost ten and loves it.Important quotations from the King James Bible are included with useful references to chapter and verse.

But even without that, this is a great overview of the Bible for little kids, much easier than the God's Plan in Scripture for young ones. It explains how life was 2000 years ago and gives all the background information that children love (maps, photos, very good drawings) whilst taking you through the Old and New Testament. Abraham, Moses, Joshua, David, John the Baptist, Jesus, and the Apostles are brought to life in a way even reluctant readers will enjoy. There would be a double-paged massive picture, dark and gloomy and horrible, almost (but not) like a photo of what the actual scene would have been like.Get ready for the adventure of a lifetime when you study these colourful maps and fun facts that will help you learn more about the people, places, and events you read about in your Bible.

I have bought pretty much every children's Bible, including the new ones from Ascension, and this one is just so much better for young children with short attention spans. I was taken to church as a child, was bought a bible and read it again and again, so my knowledge of the bible is good. The stories are well written and the illustrations lovely, and there is a lot of background information.

I want to get hold of a copy of this bible I had as a kid as they just don’t make them like that any more. The Complete Illustrated Children's Bible is the perfect picture and storybook for young ones and an ideal first reader your children will treasure. One great difficulty in reading Bible stories to children is the wealth of unfamiliar things, ideas, and terms. DS aged 11 is enjoying RE at school and we’ve been discussing bible stories, particularly the creation myths at the beginning.

The DK Children's Bible has become my gift of choice for newborns, whether the parents are dedicated Christians or only those who want their kids to see the Bible as great literature. Very young children will love looking at the colorful pictures while the book is read aloud, while older children will enjoy reading the stories for themselves. My seven year old daughter loves to have me read the stories and talk about the pictures, she is especially interested in the photographs along the sides of the pages showing actual carpenter tools, clothes, jewelery, foods, etc. I’m a pastor, the son of a pastor, and I learned a few things reading through this Bible with my daughter. A graduate in modern foreign languages, Janice Emmerson is the bestselling author of The Complete Illustrated Children’s Bible, The Jesus Bible for Kids, and The Illustrated Bible for Little Ones.

In this beautifully illustrated Bible, young children can learn about the most wonderful story of all for themselves, from the marvel of creation to the spreading of the good news. The somewhat lackluster illustrations on every page are not nearly as compelling as the stories themselves, but the variety of other artwork, including maps and color photographs of artifacts, plants, biblical places, animals, people, and architecture, makes up for any deficit there. With a reading and a prayer for every day of the year, this book offers a marvellous introduction to God's Word, and will help to develop the habit of daily reading and conversation with God that will last a lifetime. Raised in a family with a 50-year history of publishing Bibles and commentaries, she has an inherent wealth of knowledge and understanding of the gospel that is evident in her inspirational and melodic style of writing.
