Book Reviews of The Jesus Storybook Bible: Every Story Whispers His Name
Book Review: The best Bible for kids!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this Bible! I'd heard about it from several friends so I finally purchased it. My daughter is a bit young (18 mo) to sit and really comprehend, but I love it still! When it arrived, I sat and read it out loud for a half hour while she played. I was brought to tears several times. Every story truly does, "whisper His name".

Summary: 5 Stars
I picked this Bible up at [...] because I have a hard time getting excited about reading the bible. I lead a growth group at my church this spring using a DVD series my pastors did on Character. In one of the lessons, Rob McKenna was talking about discipline and how he struggled with reading his own bible daily. He said that one thing he does to get excited about reading his bible, is by reading to his kids from their children's bible,and then he goes and reads his bible to find out more of the story.
Taking his advice I picked up this bible and I love it. It is exactly what the bible is about, God's great plan for rescuing us, that started at the very beginning. Today I was reading the story of Jesus dying and the words were so simple yet so powerful I got tears in my eyes.
As for the illustrations, I love them. They are whimsical and child-like, exactly the kind of faith Jesus calls his followers to have, yet only little kids seem to have. How can you not laugh at the picture of Jesus and Saten (as a snake) faceing off. Jesus looks slightly pissed. I also appreciate that his hair is messed up. Let's face it, most pictures of Jesus his hair looks like he's just walked out of fancy hair salon. Nary a hair out of place. I don't think Jesus looked perfect. In these pictures he actually looks like he's travel worn.
I love this bible storybook. I am hoping to pick one up for my best friend's son. He is 5 and asked Jesus into his heart last fall. I've been wanting to get him something to celebrate and now I know what it is.
Book Review: Great text - strange artwork
Summary: 4 Stars
My son who is 3 actually sits still to hear the whole story each night and then repeats it to his mom. But the illustrations are a little strange at times, too abstract for a concrete thinking child. What I like the most about this book is that each story ends by pointing to Jesus Christ.Book Review: LOVE IT!

This book is so awesome! I love reading it as much as my 2.5 year old daughter likes me reading it to her. It's so well written and enjoyable. I'm learning little things I didn't even know too!
