Jesus Storybook Bible

Product Information

It talks about a literal 6-day creation, a literal Satan, a literal global flood, a literal Tower of Babel, literal patriarchs, literal angels, a literal Jesus(!), a literal final redemption of the world. Through charitable works and inviting others—whether it's directly or indirectly—to a higher sense of humanity, ultimately that higher sense of humanity, God willing, leads them to a realization of their own spiritual reality and that God is calling them.” - Eric Genuis complete printable lessons with teaching notes based on material from Timothy Keller, memory verses, and four-color children’s handouts with take-home notes Now, I don't think that The Jesus Storybook Bible wanders off into heresy, but I think it can give our kids an inaccurate understanding of who God is and thinking that God is solely love. And I think in the current cultural context in which we find ourselves, especially where progressive Christianity is on the rise, and a lot of people in progressive Christian circles only focus on God's love, I think that there's a danger that if all our kids are exposed to is The Jesus Storybook Bible, that they could get this incorrect understanding that God's love supersedes any other attribute.

You might’ve seen SuperChef Darnell Ferguson on Food Network, hosting, guest starring, and even cooking in the Beijing Olympics, dazzling people with his culinary abilities. But Darnell didn’t always know he wanted to be a chef, in fact it wasn’t until a teacher spoke life into him and he found an unexpected home in the church, that he realized God had given him this “superpower” to be a force for good in the lives of other kids who might have the same love for cooking, too. I see kids who are virtually illiterate carrying your Bible around the school grounds every day and reading it every time they get a chance. Some of them had read it all the way through within a week of receiving it. Some of the older girls in the boarding house read it together with the younger girls every night before they go to bed. They come to school and love to tell me what they’ve been reading about and where they’re up to. Did you ever wonder what Jacob’s face looked like the morning after his wedding night, when he woke up in bed with a different woman than the one he thought he had married — Leah instead of Rachel? Jago did, and what he imagined and drew made me laugh out loud.

That's a possibility, but he actually asks good questions about the things that are being read. So even our young children are not too young to be read scripture. So that would be my recommendation. I think there's a lot of great things about the Jesus story, but Bible, I think we need to be really careful when we're reading it that we're not elevating God's love above His other attributes.

In Jeremiah 29:11, God reminds us that He has extraordinary plans for each and every one of us. Often, it can be easy to get anxious when we think about the future and the unknown, but it’s important for us to trust God—His timing and plans are greater than we can imagine. Singer and songwriter Melanie Penn opens up about insecurities she has faced throughout her career and how staying rooted in her faith has always gotten her through the unknown. Of course, she's not old enough to grasp what "God loves you" really means, and by the time she is, that's where we can come in with 100% of the infallible gospel message. When kids understand that God is in pursuit of them in the good, the bad, and the ugly, when they can connect to those moments, and then they can see what God did for characters like Rahab, characters like Jacob when he was super jealous and not behaving properly, or David. In all of those stories, the Bible is really the key, and the crown jewel in knowing how God moves in our lives and loves us and pursues us relentlessly.” - Melina Luna Smith Perhaps the greatest value of this book is how it can train parents (and anyone in a position of teaching) to teach the Scriptures rightly to their children.”– WTS Bookstore Another thing I really like about the Jesus story book Bible is it shows how the Bible is one cohesive whole. It's not just giving random Bible stories, which I think a lot of the children's Bibles I went through when growing up, I didn't understand the difference between the Old Testament and the New Testament. I didn't understand how the stories fit together. There was some stories like Daniel and the Lion's Den and David and Goliath, and then there was other stories about Jesus feeding the 5,000 or Paul's nephew realizing that he was going to be killed and going and telling the Romans in authority. And I didn't understand how all of the texts went together as one cohesive whole because that wasn't explained in those storybook Bibles. Where that's something that The Jesus Storybook Bible does really well. It is showing scripture as this one meta narrative focused on God reconciling the world to himself.Jago’s drawings of the scene moved me to tears. I can only imagine what it will be like to sit with the book open to this scene, a child at my side, and try to read it aloud. Developmentally, it’s hard for a really young child to own their sin and realize they need to be rescued,” he said. “Later, in adolescence, you realize what a dark thing sin is.” I’m four months into researching it, and I went to a party with a friend,” Lloyd-Jones said. “A friend’s husband . . . told me the story of Martin Luther translating the Bible into German. He said Luther’s advice was not to go into the academy to listen to how the professors spoke; instead, go into a home and listen to a mother speaking to her children.”
