Lovely culturally appropriate illustrations by Jeff Anderson, great layout and very child friendly, this Bible overview for children has much that made it jump off the shelf and become part of family Bible reading; much of the book can be highly recommended.
Each double page has a retelling of part of the Bible, with a half page section given over to a Fact File, Think Spot and a Memory Verse – all very popular with the child reviewers. The idea of pointing to Jesus through the stories is often used in these additional sections. Genesis is given 12 double pages and the Old Testament forms around two thirds of the book as a whole.
