highly recommended

Rather than simply retelling the most familiar short scenes from the Bible, this book presents the big picture the unified story running through the Old and New Testaments. This delightful book will help children learn the Bible s whole story and begin to appreciate the fulfillment of God's promise to his people.
The Big Picture Bible Story Book is perfect for parents to read to their children, and eventually, for children to read on their own. It is an excellent way to introduce them to a book that will guide them through all of life.

My kids CAN'T GET ENOUGH of this Bible!!

Have your children ever begged for more Bible stories instead of food? Have you ever read 160 pages to attentive toddlers in one sitting? And then have them ask for more? I certainly hadn't -- until I got this book.

The Big Picture Story Bible is unlike any other Bible story book I've seen. Rather than telling the familiar stories in the familiar patterns, this book instills in children a unified theme through both the Old and New Testaments. Author David Helm makes the common thread clear by emphasizing in each chapter how these true stories show God's love for the world and the fulfillment of His promises.

This is a big story in a big book. It measures about 10" square and contains 456 pages. Broken into 26 manageable chapters, the book begins with creation (Genesis) and ends with the Apostle Paul's vision of the new heavens and new earth (Revelation). Gail Schoonmaker serves as illustrator. She fills the book with big pictures, both colorful and unique.

What I Like: I love how my kids can't get enough of this book! We read 9 chapters (156 pages) yesterday, and they cried when I said it was time to stop. The chapter breaks offer easy "intermissions". The theme is clear! The text is perfectly toddler and preschooler friendly. I appreciate the use of repetition and the insistence on truth.

Some have complained that not all the best-known Bible stories are included; other stories do not provide all the details. This is not a Bible where you can look up favorite stories, but this is key to the point of the book: the Bible is more than just a collection of great stories; it is one big story consisting of several parts. Often children fail to see the connection between all the stories; they miss how God and His love for us strings the stories together to make sense of it all.

Overall Rating: Excellent.

Amazing!!

This book is OUTSTANDING!! When I read it to my preschool class, they begged me to read "Just one more chapter!" each day! It really does an excellent job of telling God's Story of the WHOLE Bible, connecting the individual stories from Genesis to Revelation, even including the time of
waiting for the Messiah between the Old and New Testaments. The pictures are beautiful and colorful, showing the people from God's point of view. The text is written to carefully follow the Bible and is VERY child friendly - it has just enough text to go with each illustration. This book is great for children of any age AND the adults that read it to them!!

The Bible for Children, before they carry their own.

I learned about this bible from my daughter, a preschool teacher at a Christian Day Care. She uses it for three year olds. It ties the old and new testaments together with all the stories they love, with a glimpse of God's plan from the beginning of a "Forever King". This is not a story-at-a time, but a book with a plan. Excellent, and can be used through Elementary. I've purchased four, one for a newborn-parents in vocational ministry and one for our Worship leaders two year old for Easter.

Accurate Picture of Who God Is

I have been reading this a couple pages each day to my toddler. I think the illustrations and the story line give a wonderful picture of how awesome our God is truly is. The book is a beautiful book and I'll probably read it repeatedly with my children.

I bought this book for my godchild and it is perfect for a beginner reader! The pages are extremely colorful and eye-catching and the sentences are easy for him to understand. This is a perfect book for a child to start learning about the Bible.
