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.

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.

This bood was discontinued for a long time, and I got it on the used market. I got 6 copies. We have used this Bible for about 7 years now. Our oldest (10)started when she was (3). We try to read almost every night. They do not get tired of the Biblical stories and the great illustrations. 6 per page. Because of this Bible, my 3 children answer most questions in Sunday School. We've tried may others, but only this one keeps the kids attenention, from preschool to teenagers. ITS THE BEST. BLessings, IN CHRIST...

I have an older copy of the book given to my brother in 1980 - the one with Jesus healing the blind man on the cover. It's taken quite a beating over the years, but I now read it to my 5 and 3 year old every night. We usually cover about 3-4 stories. They love it and look forward to it over night. There is a picture for everything couple sentences, so I just point my finger to whatever picture we are on and they have something to look at while they listen. I'm really amazed at what they remember when we review. For example, I asked them what God had said to Moses from the burning bush. I was kinda looking for "tell Pharoh to let My people go," but my 3 year old yelled out "take off your sandals and go get your brother!" (both things God also said) So this is giving them a great intro to more of the details.

We have several different children's Bibles, and I like them all for different reasons. I wish this one was able to tie things together more. For example, last night we read intricate details of the articles in the Tabernacle, but there is no explanation about the New Testament parallels, not even later in the book. "The Big Picture Bible" does an excellent job of bringing out God's redemptive plan, but it also has really childlike and simplified illustrations. I love the realism in the Read n Grow Picture Bible. Overall an excellent Bible for introducing all the stories in the Bible to young children.

I got this ages ago for my kids and they poured through it a thousand times. Looks just like a typical comic book setup with 8 frames per page. The drawing were interesting and captivating for them, so they always loved being read to from it. What I liked most was the depth and accuracy of the stories. While reading it to them, it allowed for a lot of further discussion at about every age level they were at. We had others and used them in the church nursery, but this is worth the price. When it was time to get a gift for my niece and nephew, this was a no-brainer. Their their mom has the same results as we had with our kids as they treasure it and always want to read from it. If you have to buy just 1, look no further!

My older grandchildren - ages 8 to 12 - love reading this. My younger grandchildren - ages 4 to 7 - love having it read to them.

This version does not "push" any particular doctrine -- even one of my atheist friends likes it!

This is by far the best picture bible I have seen! The pictures and content are outstanding. Most picture bibles do not have a whole lot of content. This one does! It is a comic book style which makes it easy to read for children. My children devoured this book for hours at a time. They used it over and over until it was literally falling apart! I recommend this book for anyone who wants their children to get a better knowledge of God's Word.

I've bought this book twice over the last 15 years--and need it again. It was the best Bible picture book I have found--kids literally tore it apart reading it over and over.

This book is everything that you'd want in a picture bible. It's easy to comprehend and great for sharing with the kids. The pictures are real nice also! This book gives good insight to the readers. Excellent buy!
