This first Bible combines "read-me-a-story" text with colorful illustrations to communicate God's truth as revealed in His Holy Word. This book includes 35 well-known Bible stories (18 Old Testament, 17 New Testament) told in extremely child-friendly language. The Bible stories are short and to the point. They can be read aloud by an adult or can be read by older children who are beginning to read. Each story has a Gospel connection so children are encouraged to see the connection between the Bible story as an actual event in history and the promise of salvation through Jesus Christ.
