Introducing children to Bible stories is a beautiful way to nurture their faith and moral foundation. These stories, rich with lessons about God's love, compassion, and guidance, offer children a sense of purpose, hope, and a deeper understanding of their relationship with God.
Bible stories are often written in simple yet profound ways, making them relatable and easy for children to understand. Stories like Noah's Ark, David and Goliath, and Jesus feeding the five thousand capture their imagination while teaching important virtues such as courage, trust, kindness, and forgiveness. These narratives help children see how God works in the lives of His people and inspires them to follow His ways.
By learning Bible stories, children also develop a strong moral compass. They begin to grasp concepts of right and wrong, empathy, and the importance of treating others with love and respect. These lessons help shape their character and guide their behavior in daily life.
Bible stories foster a sense of wonder and connection to God. They help children see Him not as distant but as a loving Father who is always present. Sharing these stories during family time, Sunday school, or bedtime builds a foundation of faith that will grow with them, instilling a lifelong trust in God's plan and promises.

ST. JOSEPH'S ILLUSTRATED BIBLE REVIEW

To whom it may concern: The children's Bibles that I have ordered and still need more....I use with my adult classes. (My students are the parents of the First Communion Class) I do this in several parishes and have foundit very successful for several reasons: It has the Bible in a "Nut shell" At the top of each story is the references to the adult Bible. The stories are much easier to understand. The continuity of how God works with His people and how Jesus is the visible sign of God is easier to grasp. Each parent is asked to read two stories each night and simply explain the moral of the story. Parents and children love and get acquianted with the Bible. I would recommend this to all teachers of Religion classes. Sincerely, Sister Mary Sardinha, S.S.D.

The best Children's Bible I've ever seen.

My daughter received this Children's bible on the day of her first communion. She loves it! And so do I. This book presents bible stories in true to bible form, yet easy for the child to understand. The pictures and very nice. It is a wonderful gift for any child. It reads like a story book, and holds the attention of the child. I'd recommend this Chilcren's bible every time!
