This review is from: Read-N-Grow Picture Bible: A 1,872-Picture Adventure from Creation to Revelation (Hardcover)

This is one of the best Bible story books I have ever used. I had a copy for my children and both of them loved it -- in fact, I have saved a copy for each of them to have if they ever have children. Since they were grown, I've used it to help teach Bible classes and have given many as gifts to new babies. The illustrations are realistic rather than cartoonish (which I think is important as you stress the reality of the stories)and the text is simple but true to the original. I heartily recommend this book, especially for small children and beginning readers.

This is the best children's Bible I have seen. My 7 year old grandson can hardly put it down. The pictures are very realistic without adding imaginary content as most kids' bibles do. The text paraphrases the stories fairly accurately - without watering down the truth of each story. Adults can add spiritual concepts to the simple stories presented.

I will buy more for the young children I know.

Thanks.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Picture Bible -- hands down, October 2, 2001

This is by far the best picture bible I've ever found. I hold a BA in Bible and find time and again this book is accurate, readable and ideal for teaching children an overview of Scripture. Its pictures are wonderful, able to hold the attention of a 3 year old while teaching eternal truths to "children" of all ages.
