The Children's Illustrated Bible Hardcover – 3 Feb. 2005

This is a well written and illustrated Children's Bible. The chapters of each book of the bible are simply written making it much easier for young children to understand, without loosing the theme of the original Bible.The pictures describe the stories and are so lifelike. I was so engrossed in looking at them, they look so real.I bought this book for my daughter as she recalled when she was a child I had bought a similar book for her older brother, which she inherited when he moved on. She loved it, especially as it had lots of pictures. No idea what has happened to that book. She spoke about it recently, hence I bought this one as a surprise for her.

I bought this as a Christmas present for Callum. He has asked especially if he could have a bible as a present and after looking at a lot of others I chose this as it seemed to have a broader story base and was more complete in its reproduction of the bible, yet fully explained so that a child can read and enjoy. Callum is delighted with it and is reading it with great enjoyment, so that in itself tells me it is a success.

I bought this book as a christening present for my grandson. He is far too young to appreciate it, but I loved it. Buy the larger version for children. I would seriously like the smaller version for myself. The stories are well written and the illustrations lovely, and there is a lot of background information. A good book for older children.

An excellent book, very suitable for children, but be careful to order the right version - two versions are on sale, one is large and easy for a child to read, or for reading from at Sunday school, the other version is tiny, and would be unlikely to engage a child, and an adult may prefer a different style if they wanted a compact Bible for personal use. I might have known about this had I read previous reviews, or taken care to look at the product dimensions in the small print - but I had seen the vicar's copy and thought I didn't need to research further. So I went for the latest version, and this miniature book arrived a few days later. No good for Sunday school work, but a happy ending, Amazon, bless them, exchanged the book and my lack of care cost me only the return postage. As the product details are so visually similar, perhaps Amazon could add something more prominent to make the prospective buyer aware of the different sizes on offer.

Really good to get kids interested because it connects the Bible to now the 'now'.It explains how life was 2000 years ago and gives all the background information that children love (maps, photos, very good drawings) whilst taking you through the Old and New Testament.If only the larger version was more easily available...

I'm happy with purchase. Thanks.

We are forever grateful to God through this publication that my children are eager to know God word for their lives.Glory to God

Really enjoy reading this with my grandson
