Customer Reviews

Excellent book

I bought one copy of this book to read and see if I wanted to give it as a gift to my nieces and nephews. All of the stories are beautifully told and illustrated. By the last story, I was in tears, my heart so very touched. Of course I ordered several copies for my family, but I also kept one for myself.

Such a lovely book of Bible Stories

My aunt gave my children this book of Bible Stories to my children for Christmas. Its so warmly, lovingly written and the illustrations are beautiful. My children will love it for years.

Bible Stories with a Personal Touch

Nana's Bible Stories will definitely become a Christian children's classic. The stories are told with such vivid description and from the point of view of very relatable characters. Nana has Balaam's Donkey give us the skinny in "A Donkey's Tale". The story of David and Goliath is related by one of David's more timid friends. We experience the parable of the Lost Sheep as we frisk along with a rebellious little lamb and we view the crucifixion through the eyes of a sad and curious butterfly. I have heard each of the Bible stories since childhood but Nana manages to make them fresh and give them more vivid life. I can not recommend this book highly enough. It is a must have for those of us who wish to pass on Biblical values to our children and grandchildren in a way that they will never forget. Don't be surprised if while reading them you are moved to laughter and tears. It is part of Nana's magic. Don't miss this book.
