The Jesus Storybook Bible: Every Story Whispers His Name
by Sally Lloyd-Jones
No, the Bible isn’t a book of rules, or a book of heroes. The Bible is most of all a Story. It’s an adventure story about a young Hero who comes from a far country to win back his lost treasure. It’s a love story about a brave Prince who leaves his palace, his throne–everything–to rescues the ones he loves. It’s like the most wonderful of fairy tales that has come true in real life!
You see, the best thing about this Story is–it’s true.
There are lots of stories in the Bible, but all the stories are telling on Big Story. The Story of how God loves his children and comes to rescue them.
I love this children's storybook bible. Author Sally Lloyd-Jones shows how each story points towards the metanarrative of Scripture and the good news of the Gospel. It is full of colorful and whimsical illustrations that kids will love. As with any paraphrase, there were a few artistic licenses taken--however nothing majorly problematic. I found the Unneccesary Capitalizations a little annoying (but that's just personal preference). All in all, an excellent children's bible and imo, an essential part of every Christian family's library.
