A Beuatiful and Meaningful Companion to the Jesus Storybook Bible
October 10, 2012
By J. Scott
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
As a Christ following mother of three, I became familiar with this author because of the fantastic Jesus Storybook Bible. I am thrilled to see that this book has the same characteristics that led my family to enjoy the Storybook Bible so much. It is visually pleasing with gorgeous illustrations and a great feeling hardback book. The content is equally pleasing-- theologically sound (foreward by Tim Keller) and well written prose.
My children enjoy this book, but some days it functions as a devotion for me too.
Highly recommend.

This book is filled with the most joyful, deeply meaningful, and encouraging messages...each page is a separate pearl, containing a wonderful thought, and a bible verse. The icing on the cake is the absolutely stunning illustrations. I cannot decide which is more captivating, the words, or the gorgeous artistic accompaniment. The truth is that each stands up to, and enhances the other. I have enjoyed reading this book myself; have purchased it for each of my children (ages 12-21) and nieces...and had to send one to my 74 year old mother, to read to her step-grand-babies.
I'm sure this book will inspire many evenings, and be a treasured favorite.
Well done Sally! the Jesus Storybook Bible was exceptional, but this is another realm of inspiration altogether...

THOUGHTS TO MAKE YOUR HEART SING is the follow-up to Sally Lloyd-Jones' groundbreaking JESUS STORYBOOK BIBLE. What the previous book did to give children a Christ-centered narrative covering the whole Bible, this new book acts as a collection of devotional thoughts to guide children to cultivate their relationship with Jesus. Combined with the beautiful artwork of Jago, THOUGHTS TO MAKE YOUR HEART SING is a great companion to the JESUS STORYBOOK BIBLE in drawing children into a growing knowledge of and relationship with Jesus.
The foreword to the book was written by Timothy Keller and he describes the book as "the best, first introduction for children to have their own time with Jesus." I love this book because of its focus on encouraging children to have their own time with Jesus. I have three small children, and this is something my wife and I want to cultivate in our children early. This book is the perfect resource and really meets that need in our lives.
My children love THOUGHTS TO MAKE YOUR HEART SING, and my daughter calls it her "very own Jesus book." The devotional thoughts and the artwork included with each one are great for drawing my children's attention. If you have children, this book will be a great addition to helping you disciple your own children to know and love Jesus.
