"I had always felt life first as a story: and if there is a story there is a story-teller." G K Chesterton The Jesus Story Book Bible is the best children's Bible story book I have ever read. And as an MK and now parent & missionary, I have read many. Most, though, told the story, but didn't focus on Christ and His grace. Some were even moralistic. However, biblically and theologically, Christianity is Christ. "Every story in the scriptures whispers His name." Jesus! Yoshua! Yesu!
The writer Sally Lloyd-Jones comments, "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 rescue the one 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."
I recommend it not only for kids, but also for adults, Sunday School teachers and even preachers. It will refresh your soul.
