The Jesus Storybook Bible in the special bilingual edition tells the Story beneath all the stories in the Bible. At the center of the Story is a baby, the child upon whom everything will depend. Every story whispers his name. From Noah to Moses to the great King David---every story points to him. He is like the missing piece in a puzzle---the piece that makes all the other pieces fit together. From the Old Testament through the New Testament, as the Story unfolds, children will pick up the clues and piece together the puzzle. A Bible like no other, The Jesus Storybook Bible invites children to join in the greatest of all adventures, to discover for themselves that Jesus is at the center of God's great story of salvation---and at the center of their Story too.

Review
'The Jesus Storybook Bible is unlike any other storybook. True, that's to be expected when you combine the mesmerizing illustrations of Jago and the award-winning writing of Sally Lloyd-Jones, a Brit with an uncanny knack for storytelling. Not only is each story as vividly illustrated as it is portrayed, but also each tale is telling one Big Story---the Story of Jesus. Even the Old Testament stories of 'The young hero and the horrible giant' and 'Daniel and the scary sleepover' come full circle to Jesus, the greatest Hero, King, Lover and Rescuer the world has ever known. -- More to Life Magazine <br><br> (More to Life Magazine )
''The Jesus Storybook Bible: Every Story Whispers His Name' disproves the adage that you can't judge a book by its cover. Jago's award-winning cover art is a foretaste of the whimsically insightful and richly colored drawings that await you on every one of the book's 351 pages. The illustrations alone are worth the price of the book....Jago the illustrator, and Sally Lloyd-Jones the author, are a good pair. She brings the same creativity and sense of humor to her telling of the Bible's stories....But Lloyd-Jones's writing isn't cutesy. She has a grasp of the profound. How does one explain to a child the agony of Jesus in Gethsemane, and his prayer of surrender to his Father? Lloyd-Jones does it as well as any biblical commentator....The title and subtitle are even better than the book's delightful illustrations and narrative -- because they provide, in one deft stroke, the interpretive key that unlocks the meaning of the whole Bible. 'The Jesus Storybook Bible' says it all: The Scriptures are not merely a collection of stories designed to teach moral lessons. As Jesus explained to the men walking the road to Emmaus on Resurrection Sunday, the whole Bible is about Jesus. In the words of the subtitle, every story whispers his name....Lloyd-Jones manages to show again and again the presence of Christ in all the Old Testament Scriptures, and the presence of the Old Testament Scriptures in the life of Christ.' -- Christianity Today <br><br> (Christianity Today )
The Jesus Storybook Bible is, in my opinion, one of the best resources available to help both children and adults see the Jesus-centered story line of the Bible. Tullian Tchividjian , Senior Pastor of Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church -- PCA, Fort Lauderdale, FL. <br><br> (PCA, Fort Lauderdale, FL. )

Review
'I would urge not just families with young children to get this book, but every Christian--from pew warmers, to ministry leaders, seminarians and even theologians! Sally Lloyd-Jones has captured the heart of what it means to find Christ in all the scriptures, and has made clear even to little children that all God's revelation has been about Jesus from the beginning--a truth not all that commonly recognized even among the very learned.' -- Dr. Tim Keller, Redeemer, NY, NY <br><br>

I hate to have to leave only 3 stars for this Bible, since I really do LOVE it and we read it every night. It has wonderful vivid pictures and tells the story in a clear and thorough fashion, pointing all of the stories back to Jesus. Each section is about 4 pages long, which seems perfect for a nighttime before bed reading for my 3-year old. With that being said, one review mentions a few grammatical errors in Spanish - I have to say, there are more than a few. There are multiple errors on almost every page - from grammar, to spelling, to misuse of words. I would love to see a new edition put out with solid Spanish editing, because I would definitely change my rating to 5 stars!

This bible is a precious treasure for families. It actually has the translation of the pages in English and Spanish, so it makes it very easy for kids of both languages to read it without much help. The Spanish translation could be improved since it has minor grammar mistakes. However, the language of the book, so beautiful and simple really makes up for it. I have long looked for a children`s bible that is beautiful, not just the facts, but that it brings the Word with poetry and in a gracious way so the heart will be engaged in the reading. This one does it. It can be read aloud to younger kids or self-read by older ones. The illustrations and page layout are a gift to your senses. It is a great value for the price, since is one of those books that will be read by the entire family at different points. The size is convenient, the language is clear, the layouts are appropriate, the text is mostly accurate (it does mention there were 3 wise men and most bibles don't specify a number.) Nevertheless it makes a very useful and clear link between the old testament stories and promises to the actual coming of Jesus. It skips most of the new testament, so you will need a different bible for details on that part of the story. all Paul's letters are condensed in a couple pages to pinpoint the relevance of Jesus in Paul's life. Yet it is a wonderful buy. I will buy more as presents. Since it is non-denominational, it can be enjoyed by anybody that wants to read and learn more about Jesus. After all, teachings about God should not be more complicated than a children`s book. Maybe that`s why he said if we did not became like children, we could not enter the kingdom. This book is definitely a keeper at a great price. It makes a great present for small and not-so-small kingdom seekers.

We were given the English version of this children's bible last year. Didn't realize that this was actually bilingual (not just spanish). The font is smaller but the beautiful illustrations are the same. A really great way to introduce your entire family to Scripture.
