"In the overwhelming abundance of Children's Bibles, The Jesus Storybook Bible stands out in its Christ-centeredness and above-average writing. As Mark Tubbs says in his detailed review at Discerning Reader, "Every story does indeed whisper the person and work of Jesus Christ. The message of man's sinfulness, his inability to obey, and God's enduring grace bleeds through every page."
In Lloyd-Jones' attempts to contextualize the stories for young children she does take some liberties, but these usually don't go too far. For example, when the hungry 5000 are preparing to be fed, the disciples realize that "they couldn't go and buy themselves a burger and fries to go because, of course, they were in the middle of nowhere with no shops or restaurants. (Besides, that kind of food wasn't invented yet)".
Overall the story selection is good, the presentation is interesting and faithful to the original Scripture, and the illustrations are cheery, if not artistically amazing. Each chapter carefully and wonderfully makes explicit how it points toward Jesus' work on our behalf. This is well worth reading with children in preparation for their experience of the real Scripture."
"This book takes the TRUTHS and the characters from the bible and tells it exactly how I would want to tell it to my girls. It's the beautiful truths that make me nearly cry everytime I read them to Emma and Clare. The story of revelations and God's kingdom coming on earth is so beautiful. It says in the back of the book,"
"A friend gave this to us for our five-year-old daughter. We love it!! I think I love it more than she does. I admit I often get bored reading Phoenix her bedtime Bible story, but this Bible is so well-written for children, that I actually asked her to get it this morning so I could read it to her!!! Here is an excerpt from the Adam and Eve story: "You see, no matter what, in spite of everything, God would love his children--with a Never Stopping, Never Giving Up, Unbreaking, Always and Forever Love. And though they would forget him, and run from him, deep in their hearts, God's children would miss him always, and long for him--lost children yearning for their home." Who doesn't need to be reminded of that?!"
"I've been working my way through The Jesus Storybook Bible with my children for several months. It only took a few of the short stories to make it one of their all time favorite Bible story books. The intended age range for this book is four to seven years old, but my children as young as three and as old as ten have enjoyed it as well.
The Jesus Storybook Bible is comprised of 21 stories from the Old Testament and 23 stories from the New Testament. What makes this book unique is the way each story from the both the Old & New Testaments clearly point back to Jesus as the central figure of the Biblical story. The illustrations throughout the book are colorful, exciting, and age appropriate. Parents and kids alike will appreciate Sally Lloyd-Jones excellent writing style. This is by far the best children's Bible story book I've ever seen. It will be a great addition to any family's library.
