The Children's Illustrated Bible

Product Information

The pictures are realistic and not the silly cortoon-like figures you see in some children's bibles. The brightly coloured, detailed illustrations in this wonderful children's Bible bring every story to life. Major events, including the Creation, the Nativity, and the Resurrection, are covered in depth and detail. My top 3 essential Catholic kids' books for kids with short attention spans grades K-6: the Lego Catechism of the 7 Sacraments, THIS children's Bible, and Meg Hunter-Kilmer's Saints Around the World. In this outstanding edition of the Bible, the stories of the Old and New Testaments are retold by Selina Hastings in a lucid, flowing style for children's enjoyment and edification.

This Bible also gives the child the feel of the times, like showing plants, utencils, and statues that are mentioned in the story. I’m a pastor, the son of a pastor, and I learned a few things reading through this Bible with my daughter. Raised in a family with a 50-year history of publishing Bibles and commentaries, she has an inherent wealth of knowledge and understanding.One great difficulty in reading Bible stories to children is the wealth of unfamiliar things, ideas, and terms. The chapters of each book of the bible are simply written making it much easier for young children to understand, without loosing the theme of the original Bible. This gorgeously illustrated bible is centred around stories which explore themes of kindness and compassion.

Important quotations from the King James Bible are included with useful references to chapter and verse.

The one we had in the 80s had a red cover with The Picture Bible in embossed gold, and no artwork on the cover.My seven year old daughter loves to have me read the stories and talk about the pictures, she is especially interested in the photographs along the sides of the pages showing actual carpenter tools, clothes, jewelery, foods, etc. Get ready for the adventure of a lifetime when you study these colourful maps and fun facts that will help you learn more about the people, places, and events you read about in your Bible.
