Throughout this Bible, high quality realistic art from our Growing in Christ series is used to fully engage the reader, rather than using cartoonish artwork that might suggest to children that the Bible stories are pretend rather than real.
Our intent was to keep the focus on Christ by presenting stories with Old Testament prophecies about Christ so we could present one story for all of Scripture—God’s gift of the Savior. Instead of paraphrasing each story, they were drawn directly from the Bible while adjusting them for student readability.
Many stories from the latter part of the Old Testament have been included so that children may begin to build an understanding of the sequence of biblical history. There is also a user’s guide included to explain how to use this Bible with children at different stages of development and reading levels.
Other unique features included in this Bible are discussion questions, learning activities, and prayers. These bring each story to life, making a meaningful and lasting impression on children from ages 3 to 8.
Whether for at-home use, in preschools, or as part of a congregation-wide children’s ministry, this Bible will make a lasting impact.

I use it to read to my niece so she can learn about Jesus at an earlier age. The pictures attract her attention and she is curious to learn more about the biblical stories.
I loved this book when I received it and was very surprised how nice it was. The internet does not do it justice. It is much more beautiful holding it with gold lines on the pages, the quality was fantastic. It reminds me of the one I had as a child and I will be giving another as a gift to my sister and her children when Amazing Facts gets more in.
I have 4 children from ages 3-11 yrs old. We read a story from this every night. My children love this easy to read book, that has illustrations that portray biblical characters and events in relaistic settings.
