The Jesus Storybook Bible by Sally Lloyd-Jones

I love this book. It is by far the very best Children's Bible I have ever seen or read. The flow of the book is great, following the linear stories of the Bible in a fresh manner. It links them together and links them ultimately at the end of every story to Jesus our Redeemer. It tells the story of the Bible as it should be told, the point as it really is. Redemption. It is not a collection of child-afied Bible stories. In my opinion, we do our children a disservice by separating the stories in the Bible from each other and by making them historical tales and worse yet, folk tales. This is inevitably what happens when we tell the stories without linking them to redemption. This book is really the message of Redemption from Genesis to Revelation. I think this is a must have for every family with kids. Maybe every young child should have their own. This book would make a wonderful baby gift or adoption gift for any Christian family.
