Exciting news in the world of both Believers and books! Coming this October, is the New Jesus Story Bible Deluxe Edition published by Zondervan Press. Many of you may already be familiar with the original edition, but for those of you who aren't let me say that this is a children's Bible unlike any you have read to your little ones or opened when you were a child. Sally Loyd Jones, the author, brilliantly (and by this I mean both ingeniously and vividly) weaves the entire purpose of the Bible into selected stories-- the glory of God in the coming of Christ. I would say that this is a hermeneutical principle that that many Adult Christians don't have much of a grasp on!
The language of the Jesus Story Bible is beautifully simple in a way that is strikingly unlike it's contemporaries. (perhaps it is because Ms. Lloyd Jones speaks and thus writes in the delightful British phraseology)!
For any parent, grandparent, or friend who is looking for a good gift for a 4+ year old, the Jesus Story Bible is a worthwhile investment. Now, with the Deluxe Edition, the book is accompanied with CD's so that kids (and their parents) can listen as well as read! Listen to one of the free audio samples here.
Perhaps I sound like I am being a pushy salesman (or woman!), but I can honestly say that I personally have been blessed by this book. Yes I have read through parts of it and even cried at the clarity of the gospel. God’s Word is beautiful! What better way to pass that on than The Jesus Story Bible?!
