Book Review: The 365 Storybook Bible

I received a complimentary copy of "The 365 Day Storybook Bible published by B&H in exchange for this review. The 365 Day Storybook Bible is a book that you can read through in a year with your children, if you want to move at that pace. The book begins in Genesis and moves through the biblical stories up until the book of Acts. The stories of many of the Old Testament characters are covered (Adam and Eve, Noah, Abraham, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Joshua, Samson, Elijah, Jonah, Esther and more). The stories that are told from the New Testament cover the lives of Jesus, the early church, Peter and Paul. In a world full of activity with little time to spare, this book makes it easy to share wonderful biblical stories with your children. The book advertises the fact that it contains "5-minute stories for every day". Most people can spare 5 minutes :) Hopefully, this book could be a catalyst to more than five minute devotions with your children. In most of my reviews, I am always drawn to children's books with beautiful illustrations. This book does not disappoint, as it contains illustrations that are bold, bright and colorful. This Storybook is not a specific bible translation, but a retelling of specific chapters of the stories chosen. For example, on Day 298 (Jesus Brings Lazarus to Life), it also lists the reference of John 11:20-44. I love this because as a parent, I can also read the exact bible verses that go with the story. I love when people retell a story, but when it comes to the bible, it is always best to go back to the Bible and make sure you are getting the truth from Scriptures. This book would be a great addition to a child's library. Thank you B&H for allowing me to review it.
