I've looked at dozens of Children's storybook Bibles for my 5 year old and none of them can compare to this one.  This book is amazing!  The colorful pictures and the short stories keep her attention and she looks forward to reading every night.  Highly recommended!!!!

My daughter had this Bible story book when she was a child and asked for it for her 8 year old daughter.  I don't actually remember it but my daughter is thrilled and said it was perfect for their nightly Bible story reading.

Originally I bought this book and I want to give to my friend's kid as a gift.
After I read through I decide to keep one copy for my self.
This is a children story book with amazing art illustration.
The story is also touching me.
The author had a good imagination to descript the bible story with a simple and easy to understand illustration.
I strongly recommend everyone to buy it.
God Bless.

I absolutely LOVE the illustrations in this Story Bible, but that's not the only thing that makes you want to keep reading more!  And isn't that what we want for our kids, to read more of the Bible?  I know what some of you may be thinking, this is a STORY Bible, therefore "it doesn't count", but this isn't like any other kids story Bible I've ever read.  It invites you in, the tag line says so much - "Why God Loves People Like Me".  The way that these stories are written connects you directly with the Bible character because they story is told from their perspective!  Each story, and there are 54 of them, and not all the same ole same ole stories show God's relationship with them - after all our faith is about a relationship, not a subject to learn.  My favorite part about this Bible though is the "face-to-face encounter" you have with each Bible character at the end of their chapter.  So good, so relatable.  It's like having a smoothie with Rahab or Ezra or Nicodemus or .........  And of course there's the super cool app feature, which in this digital age, kids will have a blast with!  And the last chapter, well, that's all up to the kids who are reading it!!

I just finished reading The Beginning Reader's Bible to my 5 year old for the fifth day this week. She and I love it so much for these reasons:
The illustrations...
I was immediately attracted to the beautiful illustrations on each page. The stories in the Bible come to life! The illustrator did an amazing job.
The resources...
The book contains twenty six stories from the Old and New Testaments and twelve additional resources for children, including prayers from the Bible, books of the Bible and the ten commandments which I love! This is a fabulous book if you have young kids till not ready for the actual Bible but old enough to read through a few pages of a story such as Noah and the Ark, The ten Commandments, and the birth of Jesus. I like the fact that the book has a reading chart in the back to track progress with your children as well as a list of all the books of the Bible to memorize.

At the end of the storybook a sinner's prayer is included. I didn't like this (my opinion)...as I feel if children are ready and feel drawn to God through His grace and mercy the words will come from the child, not a book.

What I didn't like...

The title.
This is not a beginning reader's Bible. It is not the Bible, and is not really for a beginning reader. My daughter cannot read all the words herself and they are in long paragraph form, not simple words on each page as you would expect a beginning reader book or Bible to be.

The translation. Pure and simple...
The text is taken from the International Children's Bible and so any trinity references in the Old Testament are missing and there are gender neutral references (people instead of men).

So overall I believe this is a great addition to any collection for Christian parents to help their young ones understand stories in the Bible. I am glad BookSneeze had this book available for me to review as I found it excellent in most areas and am happy to read it to my daughter.

These Bible stories are the best children's Bibles Stories I have found.  The pictures are clear and the writing is concise and easy for children to grasp. There is great emotion expressed in this book regarding the love of Jesus toward people. It is a wonderful book that children actually like reading.  I have read it to my children and now grandchildren.  Other children's bible books are too long or if they are short stories they leave out important points.  This book has all the right components.  If you really want your children to understand God and Jesus's love for them THIS IS THE BOOK.

This is absolutely the best storybook bible we've encountered so far. We are using it with our 4yr old and she can't get enough. The stories are very well done and honestly it speaks to me as much as her. I love this stories and how they consistently point to Christ. Get it!

What a wonderful way to introduce Bible stories to youngsters.  The Biggest Story by Kevin DeYoung is filled with brightly colored illustrations that will capture there imagination and draw them into the stories of the Bible. Written in a simplistic way that will allow youngsters to understand and connect with the stories, while also teaching them the message of the Bible.  Written for youngsters, this is actually a book that young and old will appreciate. Once I picked up this book I read it cover to cover because of the smoothly flowing story that unfolded inside. While I have read the Bible extensively I have to admit there is something about the illustrations and wording of this book that inspires and put a smile on my face as I read it. A great book for gift giving, and I could see using it in home study or even in Sunday school. What a wonderful way to capture your youngsters imagination and get them hooked on God's word. I only wish there would have been a book like this when I was growing up.

A complimentary copy of this book was provided for review.

I have read quite a few Bible storybooks and this is BY FAR my favorite. (Over the years -- with 6 kids -- we've probably owned at least a dozen Bible storybooks of one kind or another). It is beautifully written and has amazing illustrations. I love it. My favorite part is that Jesus is woven into each and every story -- even the Old Testament ones in a way that is really eye opening. I read it often, even when the kids aren't around, in my devotional time. I just love it. The audio is a nice addition to the book for when the kids just want to listen. Can't recommend it any more highly.

Last fall, I started attending a mom's group at our church and they were giving away copies of the Jesus Storybook Bible. I didn't win one that day but my friends told me this book was one of their kids' favorites so I ordered the hardcover copy since it would be easier for us to read and for my kids to look at.

The Jesus Storybook Bible contains many stories from both the Old and New Testaments that children would be likely to hear at Sunday School or kids' groups that teach Bible lessons. The book is 351 pages long and contains 21 stories from the Old Testament and 23 stories from the New Testament. Each story ranges from about six to ten pages in length and contains beautiful, colorful pictures that go along with the stories. The pages are glossy and the book is a hardcover, measuring 6 1/2 inches by 7 3/4 inches by 1 inch. Unless otherwise noted, all of the Scripture notations are taken from The Holy Bible, New International Version.

When we received this Bible, my kids initially weren't too interested in it but they started asking for me to read it after awhile. My son, especially, loves it and calls it the "Bible book." A lot of times I will find him sitting and looking through the pictures. I love that the stories are paraphrased for kids to make the stories simple and easy to understand, not to mention FUN! The stories are told in words that kids are likely to understand and they are easy for parents to explain if an explanation is needed. I'd say the stories take about ten minutes to read, give or take a few if you take some extra time to explain more of the story or the pictures so they would be great for bedtime stories.

I cannot recommend this book enough because my kids LOVE it! They weren't too interested in this Bible at first but now they love it and ask for me to read it fairly often. There are a lot of stories that kids are likely to hear in Sunday School so this would be a great book to help reinforce their learning and understanding of them. I'm so glad we purchased this Bible for my twins, who are now four. It's a fun way for them to learn Bible stories and it would make a great gift for many children!

The BEST KIDS BIBLE I found so far! the illustrations are just exceptional and captivating. What I like best: the bible stories are straight from the bible without any own author interpretation (which in some kids bibles I don't like so much), but all in kids friendly and easy to understand language. Also you find unusual bible stories / passages in this kids bible, which is very refreshing. SO LOVE IT and so do my kids (2 and 3 years old)!!

This is a great book, the best Bible story book I've seen for kids. It really gets to the heart of the Bible`s positive message in the way that speaks to kids. It would be a great Christmas gift.

I really enjoy reading this bible to my kids.  My daughter, who is in first grade, says that it is her favorite book.  The stories are not too simplistic for her age, but not too difficult either.  They chose great stories.  We own the older version and just recently bought the new version for a friend.  We peeked through it and liked the new illustrations so much that I am considering buying this one as well!

My childhood memories are specifically linked to two favorite Bible story books.
One was a girl's Bible story book, fat and pink, that specifically featured the ladies of Scripture. Each story had simple colored illustrations, with a tiny angel hiding somewhere, like in a sack on a donkey's back or up a palm tree.
The simple, sweet way the stories were told and the cute pictures made this a favorite.

The other is Bible story book is paraphrased and illustrated by the brothers Kenneth and Richard Taylor. The clarity of the stories in that book, combined with the illustrations, made that a book we read from four to fourteen and beyond.

We took these Bible story books to bed for flashlight reading, to the beach on vacation, and into nests made of leaf-piles and blankets. My Dad read them to us, my Mom read them to us, then my sister and I read them to Mom and Dad and each other.
Reading with your children forges some of the strongest bonds and the happiest memories, and it is a great blessing to read together the stories of Scripture.

The Candle Classic Bible combines colorful realistic-yet-imaginative illustrations with clearly written text, so that the reading experience captures both the eye and the ear.
Big enough that it feels like a "lapful of a book" without being so big that it is heavy to hold, this edition is made to last for quite a while. Hardbound, with smooth pages.

This book is also quite thorough. There are 365 readings, each about three paragraphs long.
For an example: Genesis is covered in 50 readings, Esther has four sections to tell her story, and The Gospels are woven together through 75 days of readings.

The Candle Classic Bible is a book I am glad to have on my shelf, alongside a collection of other good books to read to little ones.

Thank you Kregel for gifting me with my copy to review!

I can't even tell you how amazing this book is! The pictures are so colorful and completely capture my son on every page. He is so drawn to it already, knowing the stories well from the Bible App on my phone well. He truly LOVES his bible at the age of 3. What a gift that is to me as a parent. Thanks so much YouVersion for creating this one-of-a-kind resource! I'm buying these as gifts for all my nieces and nephews. :)
