"The Beginners Bible" makes a wonderful first Christmas, Easter or religious gift to any child hearing God's Word for the first time.
Seperated into short, easy-to-grasp chapters, it features gorgeous, colorful but simple illustrations of the Bible's most vivid, even humorous stories. (the talking donkey, Elijah's besting of Baal, Jesus and Zaccheus, etc.) It tells the book's most spectacular stories (the parting of the Red Sea, Jesus' walking on water) with simply expressed awe that should impress children hearing it the first time. God's love and power is always written into the final line of each story, things as reassuring to children as a parent's goodnight kiss. ("God had saved his people again!" "Mary loved Him, Joseph loved Him, and God loved Him.")
The New Testament portion emphasizes Jesus' parables and miracles, and tells Christianity's most moving stories (Judas' betrayal, the Revelation) with tact few religious writers would attempt. You'll find no better, more contextual explanation to a child of why Christ died than the "Sadness" chapter in this book.
Overall, "The Beginners' Bible" is the best attempt yet to bring Jesus' love to His most youngest, most treasured ones, and is a book to read or be read to. HIGHLY recommended for families with young children.
Target readers:
Kids aged 4-8.

I grew up always knowing I would be a graphic artist of some sort. My mother instilled the love of drawing and painting in me at an early age. I landed my first job as a graphic artist right out of high school with The Shirt Shed, which was a leader in the imprinted apparel industry at that time. I found the job to be very challenging and rewarding, working on major licenses such as: Looney Tunes, Garfield, Adidas, and many Disney products. I remained in the screen printing field, working for various companies designing and art directing for a total of 20 years. Then I freelance illustrated my first of many Beginner's Bible books. The publisher liked my work enough to hire me as their full time illustrator and move me from Indiana down to beautiful Tennessee, where 10 years later, I'm still illustrating books and various other Beginner's Bible and A Life of Faith products for Mission City Press.

A Kid's Review (MSL quote), USA
<2007-06-22 00:00>
I got this Bible when I was 2 years old. I loved looking at the pictures- and they are very bright and colorful. This Bible first gave me the idea that there was a book about God. When I was a little bit older, It told me that Bible stories were interesting, and not boring and glum like I thought it would be after I looked at my dad's Bible with a black cover. After all, you can't judge a book by it's cover! Now I am 10 years old, and although I have a full text NIV Bible, I still love to look at this bible. I actually have 2 copies of it, because when I was 4 I begged my Mom to get me another copy of this Bible. I am extremely fond of reading, and I still remember the day I read it all by myself, When I was 5. Wasn't I proud! It's very understandable and in clear, big, print. I still treasure it very much, and I absolutely recommend this Bible to you. |

Our daughter received this bible for a baptism present. Because the stories require more of an attention span b/c of the length, we didn't read it to her very much until last year. This year, she will be turning 4 and she loves it! This is a bedtime reading staple in our household. We read at least 5-7 stories each night. It has given both my husband and I a better understanding of the Bible as well. The text is clear and the illustrations are vibrant and engaging. I truly would recommend this story to anyone interested in understanding the Bible a little more...it isn't just for young children!

My daughter feels very important as she takes her Bible to church, just like her Mom and Dad. The illustrations are perfect for toddlers-lots to look at, which leads to questions, which leads to discussion...it's not so much the text that teaches them, but the discussions the book prompts that gives me the openings to talk about God with my daughter.

I bought this book after several attempts to get my children interested in the Bible. I always look for metaphysical interpretations for children, but am not sure they exist. And I have bought a handful of children's Bible literature so when I read a review for this book I thought, great! When the book arrived my heart fell. I told myself, "another flop!" and was ready to send it back. But my little boy (8) saw it and asked me to read it. And he just loves it!! He asks for more, always more... even though he has tons of other books on his shelves. And I am thrilled. The stories are very simply put and illustrated, exactly like a child needs. Sometimes I shudder at the interpretations (at times a bit too classical for me), but an adult can always explain the stories. This book has an amazing calming effect on kids, and it seems to fill a need they have. Amazing! I think it is a perfect first approach to the Bible.
