Jesus Said Bible Stories: Old and New Testament Stories

By Anonymous

This storybook has several unique features. The premise of the book is the recognition of the central role played by Jesus Christ in the Bible. Each Bible story is related to the words and teachings of Jesus. When we frame stories from the Old Testament with the words of Jesus the stories take on a new and deeper meaning. Children begin to view Bible stories not as isolated historical events, but as part of God's divine plan. The struggles of David, Daniel, Esther and the other Old Testament heroes are viewed not just as exciting stories, but as practical lessons that illustrate the teachings of Jesus.

Customer Reviews

This is the best children's Bible around!

We LOVE this "Bible"! Before our son was even born, my husband and I started reading one story a night to him. He is now almost 20 months old, so we have read through it several times! He loves "his Bible," and I can't tell you what joy it brings to me to see him flipping through the pages on his own during the day. I also very much appreciate the "What Jesus Said" application section after each story. The author ties each story (even the Old Testament stories) to something Jesus said in the New Testament. It brings great depth to the book. And even though our son is only 20 months old, he has been enthralled with the book for months, and listens intently each night. One other "plus" to this Bible, compared to other children's Bibles: it covers a broad selection of stories. It really is a Bible in miniature for children. We will definitely buy another copy when this one wears out!

Great for the little ones

We read this during breakfast. My 19 month old is always exclaiming 'open it' to see what it says under the flaps. She likes the basic story as well. It's probably a little over her head but between the flaps and the pictures, she seems to get something out of it.

Good biblical perspective

We found this to be a great Bible story book for our young kids. It gives a correct view of Biblical history, and focuses on God's power in all things.
