The Jesus Storybook Bible: Every Story Whispers His Name: 1

Product Information

We are disturbed by how little God's grace is taught in churches, to be honest most Sunday School stuff is based around Old Testament stories and good behaviour - nothing wrong with either of course UNLESS you don't use them to point people to Jesus, which is something Sally Lloyd-Jones does brilliantly in this book. How does one explain to a child the agony of Jesus in Gethsemane, and his prayer of surrender to his Father? I gave him this one, and he says the pictures, the style of writing, and the way the stories has told has helped him to understand the Bible for the first time in his life. Not only is each story as vividly illustrated as it is portrayed, but also each tale is telling one Big Story--the Story of Jesus. 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.

But however hard I tried, I couldn't keep the rules all the times so I knew God must not be pleased with me. Beautifully written by New York Times bestselling author Sally Lloyd Jones and illustrated by awarding winning artist Jago, The Jesus Storybook Bible invites children 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.There are also multiple pages where the lines of text overlap, making it *completely* impossible to read. Could I tell them about the time I tied the tails of foxes together, set them on fire, and sent them running through the Philistines’ vineyards? But she manages to show again and again the presence of Christ in all the Old Testament Scriptures, and the presence of the Old Testament Scriptures in the life of Christ.

The hard cover ensures it will last years, and the stories and illustrations passionate adults and children.

And Adam and Eve joined in the Song of the stars and the streams and the wind in the trees, the wonderful Song of love to the one who made them. I came across this bible when babysitting for a friend's child, and have now bought it for my own children and as a gift for others.For example, at the end of the story where Moses comes down from the mountain with the 10 Commandments to see the people with the golden calf the book says "No matter how hard the people tried they could never keep God's Rules all the time.
