1) Hardcover Book The Jesus Storybook Bible: Every Story Whispers His Name by ZonderKidz. This is a terrific book that my daughter loves. I find myself learning along with her how every story in the Bible relates to God´s plan of salvation. The pictures and layout are quality and the language it uses makes for a very enjoyable read. It is exciting to see how interested my little one is to learn about God through this book. I highly recommend it to any parent who wants to teach their children about the word of God.¤ 2) Hardcover Book The Jesus Storybook Bible: Every Story Whispers His Name by ZonderKidz. This Bible Storybook is wonderful, fantastic, awesome!! I think anyone with children should have it. I bought 5 so I could start blessing all the young families I have a reason to give a gift to and also so I could have one at my home (no children at home any longer.)¤ 3) Hardcover Book The Jesus Storybook Bible: Every Story Whispers His Name by ZonderKidz. I was so excited when I orginally read reviews about this book. My Daughter had out grown the toddler Bible story books and this look appeared perfect. Unfortunately, after I started reading it with her I soon found that the stories were not truely accurate to the Bible. The heart of the stories are there but the author embelishes the stories which when teaching a child is inappropriate.
The child doesn´t know that what is written is not authentic and that is unacceptable. I have wanted to write a review for a number of months but had put it off and tonight when I signed on to write the review I did see another user that had the same issue with the book as I do and I encourage you to read that review for examples but I will give at least one example. Here is an excerpt from the story of David and Goliath:
Begin Quote
"Chickens!" Goliath bellowed. "Your God can´t save you! I´ll rip your heads off and have you on toast!" His beady, greedy eyes glowered at them hungrily from under his horrible helmet - as if any minute he really might just gobble them all up. And he laughed his terrible laugh. "Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha" it boomed, echoing horribly around and around the dry, dry valley. Well, Goliath might just as well have been a green slimy monster with three heads because God´s people froze with fear.
End quote
Most of what you read here will not be found in the Bible. You can recognize that most of it is creative story telling but even the quote of Goliath saying "Your God can´t save you" that is not found in the Bible; in fact Goliath never makes a reference to God.
I kept looking for a Bible book and have been happy with "First Bible Stories" see link below
First Bible Stories¤ 4) Hardcover Book The Jesus Storybook Bible: Every Story Whispers His Name by ZonderKidz. This is a thoughtful, respectful, intelligent book that you can share with ANYONE who has a remotely open mind.
The only reason it gets four stars is that I was looking for something a bit more dense and challenging, but now that I think about it, how many people out there are geeks like me? Not many.
This book is extremely engaging, using questions posed by REAL people and providing REAL answers with great insight. So, for what it lacks in philosophical depth (okay, you can read the stuff in the references if you must) it makes up for in accessibility to (almost) any reader.
CAVEAT: This book is not for stupid or closed-minded individuals, whether they be Christian or Atheistic in their faith walk. But if you can´t grasp the reasoning, you probably weren´t pondering the questions in the first place.
This book does not give you pat answers or smug circular reasoning. It does acknowledge the validity of some anti-Theist arguments and then gently and thoughtfully dissects them. Atheists, skeptics, agnostics, and thoughtful Christians alike will appreciate the fact that they are not being taken for a ride.
The first half of the book examines arguments against Christianity, and agrees where agreement is appropriate. There is no whitewash, only reason and good arguments.
The second half of the book gives reasons that support Christianity. It is very helpful, but not arrogant or over-the-top.
You can purchase this book for any friend without embarrassment.
Recommended.¤ 5) Hardcover Book The Jesus Storybook Bible: Every Story Whispers His Name by ZonderKidz. I bought this book as a birthday present for my 6 year son. We read it everynight and he seems to really enjoy it. It inspires lots of questions from him.¤ 6) Hardcover Book The Jesus Storybook Bible: Every Story Whispers His Name by ZonderKidz. In The Jesus Storybook Bible, every story whispers his name. It tells the story beneath all the stories in the Bible.¤ Page Updated: Robert N. Goolsby, 19-Aug-2008, 03107082579780310708254, 001-8
