… this is my greatest parenting purpose… sharing the love and salvation of Christ with my children.
My desire is that our daily lives are infused with a spiritual outlook that points the way to God. It’s not always easy in a busy world where everyday life vies for our attention in so many different ways. We sing Bible songs after dinner, and read Bible story books to our son. Sometimes I read him passages from the actual scriptures although he has no idea what I’m reading. 
And then I discovered The Jesus Storybook Bible. (Written by Sally Lloyd-Jones and illustrated by Jago; published by Zonderkidz). I had no idea how much I was going to love, love, love this book. I brought it along for the 5-hour drive to our campsite this summer. I started reading to myself. But within a few pages, I stopped, turned to my husband and said, “I have to read this aloud to you! It is so beautifully written, you need to hear it.” And so I began, and read for nearly an hour. Sometimes I had to stop and exclaim over the poetic phrases, or catch my breath (and a tear) at the message of some stories. If it sounds like I’m gushing… maybe I am, but I think this book truly deserves to be gushed over.
Truly, all 44 stories in this book “whisper his name.” Interwoven through every story is the truth that God loves us with a “Never Stopping, Never Giving Up, Unbreaking, Always and Forever Love.”
In lyrical writing that is nearly breathtaking in its literary skill, I read from Creation to the Cross to the Coming of Christ. Every story is detailed, connecting to other Bible stories in a way that vividly shows how the Bible isn’t just a book of stories, but it’s really one big story of the love of God towards man.
Beautiful, unique illustrations fill each page, and draw your eye to consider the people of the Bible, see their emotions, ponder the magnitude and beauty of God’s Plan.
Artfully flowing through the entire book is the main theme of the Bible – that God always had a plan for mankind. That He would send his Rescuer, Jesus.
I grew up in church, went to Christian school and hold one degree from a Christian college. I wasn’t trying to be arrogant thinking I had nothing to learn from a children’s Bible storybook; so many children’s books skim the surface events of Bible stories. The Jesus Storybook Bible delves deep, yet in child-friendly language. It made me understand anew the trust Abraham had in God, the love God has for the unlovely, the small ways God reveals Himself to man, the message of hope running through every story. These are the understandings I want my children to realize at an early age.
The best part about this book, to me, is that it is so enjoyable to read aloud. Repetitious phrases flow from the tongue. A sophisticated variety of sentence structure keeps the stories fresh, interesting, and suspenseful. Delightful titles don’t just label stories, but hint at the message behind each one: “The forgiving prince” tells the story of Joseph in Egypt; “The teeny weenie…true king” tells about David being chosen to rule Israel; “The man who didn’t have any friends (none)” shows Jesus love for outcast Zaccheus. And so it goes, layer upon layer of Bible story sharing the Great Rescue Plan God had from the beginning of time.
This is truly a Bible storybook I’ll enjoy reading to my children over and over… and one I know clearly reveals the beauty of God’s nature.

My wife and I include our sons in all that we do–worship services, meal-time devotions, and talks about God. We also take special time with our older son (4 years old) to explain some things to him in language he can grasp. My wife often helps him remember aspects of what we read or even to memorize verses so that this becomes normal for him.

Besides reading stories to her we tell her about Jesus and how he loves her and what He did in life.

My 5.5 month old daughter loves books! We read quite often. Lately I have been reading aloud from 1st Corinthians while she nurses. She also enjoys listening to me sing old hymns in the shower. We named her ‘Keturah’ which means incense used for praising God in ancient Hebrew. It was also the name of Abraham’s second wife. I like to stand beside her crib at night and pray that her life will be like a sweet incense to God.

I read a bible story every night to my 3 yr old daughter from a book similar to this but not near as cute!! We then talk about what happened in it and pray for the night. She also prays at meal times for us and is encouraged to pray any time she gets frustrated or angry! My favorite though, is to walk outside with her and talk about all the beautiful things God has made (we make an “I spy” game out of it!)

I love praying with my husband, talking about God, and reading the Bible to and in front of my little girl. We also read a girl’s devotional Bible every now and then (of course, the application parts are difficult, since it’s written for children ages 4-7 and she’s almost 7 months). We also go to church, and so far, she’s been doing great with staying in the service the entire time.

We use songs and life application lessons for the most part. My little ones are 18mo and 3yrs old so they love music and making “a joyful noise unto the Lord”, lol. Life life application lessons are really just a matter of making the most of any opportunity that presents itself to tie into a practical application of scripture. Simple thinkgs like playing outside and pointing out the clouds, sunshine, birds, bunnies, etc and turning into a lesson on the beauty of God’s creation, and the love He has for it.

For my young teenagers to more easily be interested and relate we bought them a book of different bible verses that’s were easily explained and relevant. They enjoy discussing it.

The way I shared about Jesus this past summer with my younger, 9 year old sister, was that we had bible studies most every day that I took care of her. She would watch a few episodes of Life Kids through Lifechurch.tv ‘s website, and then we would talk about what she saw, learned, questions, and sometimes (though we should have done it every time!), we prayed. We had some great talks, and I loved how she started bringing over some of her bible and bible books over to my house to read during her free time!

In my house I constantly tell my children about Jesus and how he sacrificed his life and did it just for them. I illustrate to them my reading stories in the Bible, praying and singing to let them hear and see how I pray and read my own Bible.

I take my grandson to Church and Sunday School, but not as often as I should. This would be a great way to teach him.

We do the same things you do in your house, pray, read scripture, memorize verses, sing hymns, constantly telling them what Jesus did for them and we let them see how important Jesus is in our own lives. We let them hear us praying and reading our own Bibles. Thanks for the giveaway!

I just went to put his book on my paperbackswap site and there are 246 people in front of me! Must be a good one! 🙂
One thing we do is read boy centered daily devotions every night with a small bible passage that ties the story together.

Well, our little one isn’t due until November, but we’re already brainstorming ideas of how to really help her see Jesus. We plan to teach her about His love, how He teaches us to give to those who are less fortunate, how He was not snobby about getting out amongst the people.

i have been admiring this book online for quite some time. I have two grand daughters. They are 3 and 4. I want so much for them to love Jesus and accept Him as their personal saviour. I pray for this every day. I would love for my ex daughter in law to have a chance to make this happen with this book. If I do not win, I will probably purchase it anyway . Thanks for letting me share.

I LOVE this book! It’s amazing, I wish I had enough money to buy copies to give away. It is so necessary even for myself. I enjoy reading our copy to the kids, it’s well worn!! Every time we read it, it speaks to ME!

While I don’t have any children of my own yet, I have been teaching the little kiddos (mostly Kindergarten, First Grade, and Second Grade) at my church for years. My Young Adult Bible Study leader used to regularly ask us the question, “Who do you know who knows less than you? And what are you doing about it?” Not having kids yet isn’t an excuse for not passing on the truth of God’s Word to others!
I primarily use my home church’s Sunday School curriculum, which is an amalgamation of all the best books, worksheets, videos and crafts from when it was first compiled. This curriculum teaches Scripture in a chronological fashion, with age-appropriate materials from age 2 through Fifth Grade. Now that I’m married and live in another state (and attend another church that doesn’t have all the same resources available to use) I get creative and improvise with what I have on hand. I like to bring in visuals for the kids to see, touch, and sometimes even taste. I think it’s important to try to get as many of the senses involved as possible.
But, since you’re probably looking for something specific here, I will say that some of the best resources out there for teaching Bible stories in a fun way, that still gets to the heart of the message are Master Storyteller Steven James’ line of books (ie: “Tandem Stories for Kids”). He has some of the best ideas for how to share the truths of Scripture so that you get (and keep!) kids’ attention and they remember the point of the story.
Some more great resources are the Evangecube (sold at FCS), the Torchlighter’s (Heroes of the Faith) videos, Sovereign Grace’s CD’s (ie: “Awesome God” and “The Way of Wisdom”), Troy & Genie Nillsson’s CD’s (ie: “Books of the Bible song” and “Scripture Rock” series), Abeka’s Bible Flashcards, and a myriad of kids books which I oftentimes find in the clearance section of Half Price Books. I could go on and on, but these are some of my favorites. 🙂

You are the second person I’ve heard rave about this book recently! I would love to have this book to share with A – we have a children’s bible that we read from often, but I don’t find it to be incredibly well written. 🙁 We pray at mealtimes and before bed, and sit front and center every week at church. All of the lullabies I sing to our boys are about God or Jesus. It is the most incredible, and sometimes convicting, thing to have A ask to pray if we have forgotten…he has also started asking to pray at naptime. Love it! He always ends his prayers with “I love you Jesus!”

I would love to win this Biblebook because its the exact same one that we use for our children’s ministries at church. We are a small church so instead of curriculum we use stories out of this Bible for our kids aged 4 and up! My kids are only 2 & 3 so they have not experienced this Bible yet! My husband and I talk to our kids about things they learned in Sunday school and we sing songs about Jesus and we pray together!

One of the things I’ve integrated into my preschool lesson time with T Rex is Bible story coloring time. We have a Bible coloring book. It focuses on a few specific stories. We work on that story for the week. For example, this week was about Moses. We started with him as a baby, colored a picture of a baby in a basket, then we talked about the river he was placed into and where it was located (little geography lesson, too), toward the end of the week we were coloring photos of the ten commandments. It’s been a fun learning system for him. Plus, I forgot how much I enjoyed coloring!
What a lovely book! We still like hard copy books around here. And we do have an entire room dedicated as a library, too. We’ll have to add this one to our collection.

I read this to my children all the time! It’s the best children’s bible I’ve seen. My littlest one has done quite a bit of damage to our copy though.
Other ways we share Jesus with our children are through prayer and church.

We have worship each night. We usually read a bible story and out of a nightly devotional book geared toward young kids. We end by singing some songs and saying a prayer. This is a nightly ritual and the kids love it and learn so much!

My 3 year old loves his “Bible Book”. Daddy reads it with him nearly every night. He also likes watching videos of the Bible and we’ve been working on improving the Sunday church program at our church with the nursery and preschoolers.
We would love another Bible Book to share with our boys. This one looks fantastic!
Thanks for the opportunity!

This sounds awesome! We have bought several children’s bible stories books but they just don’t interest her/can’t keep her attention. This sounds like it might! We take dd to church every Sunday and in another year or two she will start attending classes to get her ready for her first communion. We pray daily and talk about Jesus and God frequently. Her hardest question has been why is her sister in Heaven with God. 🙁 How do you answer that? I usually tell her that God wanted her there with him but then after that comes the Why? 🙂 I tell her she can ask God when she meets him!

We talk to our 21 month old son about Jesus (mostly in the evenings around bedtime/storytime or at church) and how Jesus loves him and will watch over him and protect him and that that Jesus is a friend you can talk to. It is so cute to see our son fold his little hands and say, “love Jesus”! He will sometimes even hold his monkey stuffy and put the monkeys hands together saying, “monkey praying”. Ahhh…it warms my heart!

Oh, I love ZonderKidz!! We got their “God Loves Me Baby Bible” board book for my son when he was little bitty and read a story out of it every night before bed. A couple of months ago, we got a new one with “real” pages that’s called “The Beginner’s Bible” and we read that one every night before bed (he’s 2). He LOVES being read to, and he asks for his “Jesus book” all the time (he just recently started calling it his Bible…kinda made me sad. I thought it was really cute that he called it his Jesus book :). I think he would love the illustrations in the one you’re giving away. I didn’t see it at the Christian bookstore we go to…I’m going to have to hunt it down if I don’t win!

My son is 11 and I admit I don’t talk to him about the bible or Jesus like I should. I do try to explain to him why Jesus doesn’t like lieing, cheating and other things of this nature. This book would be a great way to introduce more about the bible to him.

We have a really hard time with this. Aside from Christmas and Easter books and telling stories at those times, we say Grace at all of our meals. This book would make an amazing addition to our storybook collection, especially since my daughter LOVES books right now. 🙂

I’m not entering (I have a copy that my brother and his wife gave to my daughter as a Christmas present), but I want to echo your love for the book. It’s very personable and convicting (for me). I’ve read it to my daughter, but she just turned 1, so I’ll be reading it to her many times. Before my daughter goes to bed, I often sing some Psalms and pray with her. During the day, I might read a page or two out of this book or our other storybook Bible. Thanks for the giveaway. Hopefully, somebody else will love it!!

I don’t need to be entered to win this book as we recently received it as a gift for my daughter’s baptism. I LOVE reading these stories to my 4 year old son! I also find it one of my favorite books and learn much from it myself. Saying grace at dinner, reading bible and Christian stories, saying prayers at bedtime, and attending church are some of the ways we share our faith.

What a wonderful book. I would love to win this for my son. We read him books that are about Gods love and the stories of the bible. We watch Veggie Tales too! My mother in law reads him Genesis and he sits there bright eyed and full of wonderment. Its really sweet. He also has the Hug A Bible. Its a soft board book with a few lines from some stories of the bible. He kisses it all the time and says Baby to the pictures of Baby Jesus. I must admit I really do need to do more to make God more apart of our daily lives.

My son is only 5 months old, but he hasn’t missed a Sunday at church yet. We sing Jesus loves Me to him every night, read to him from his ‘baby Bible’ and tell him about how Jesus knew he would come into our lives before he was even born.

My son is just short of 5 months so he doesn’t understand. What I tell him now is that “Mommy loves you and Daddy loves you but Jesus loves you more.” This book sounds awesome.

We always say Grace and give praise when we eat together. Also, we try to watch wholesome tv shows and movies that shine a light on God and family.

only 5 entries? Holy cow! I would love to win this! We had our 2.5 yr old in VBS this summer, but as for more regularly, we pray with him every night and work Jesus into discipline every time. We talk about obedience, how he needs to obedient to us, and that we struggle with being obedient to Jesus.

Besides going to church every week and sunday school, I use real-life situations we encounter to mirror biblical truths and the actions those from the bible took in similar situations!

My son is just a tad younger than yours – (he’s almost 17 months). So other than going to Church/Sunday School, we have a “Baby’s First Bible” storybook at home that he loves to ave read to him. I think what’s hard for me is that since he’s so young, I obviously can’t quite teach him all of the big important Bible truths yet. But you have to start somewhere!
We also a nightly routine of saying prayers before bed. And the very last thing we say to him, every night, is “Mommy & Daddy love you very much, and God loves you even more.” I think I started saying it when he was a tiny newborn, more for MY OWN reassurance than for his. It was comforting to remind myself just how much God loved my baby boy – that I loved him with every ounce of my being, but if God loved him sooo much more, then I knew I could trust God to keep him safe. It probably sounds kinda corny, I know. But in those sleep-deprived few months, that was what worked for me. And now it’s a habit – and I hope he looks forward to hearing it, just as much as I look forward to reminding him (and myself).
I would love to win this book! It looks marvelous.

I would LOVE to share this book with my older daughter {16 months}. She has her own “Bible,” but it’s so simplistic and I think she’s ready for more! We love to sing about Jesus, worship through dance, and pray “thank-yous” before bed each night. This looks like it would be a beautiful way to share God’s love with my daughters!

Alright, I’m sold. If I don’t win, I am going to buy this Bible for my babies.
How do I share Jesus with them? Not well enough, I’m afraid. I’m trying…really trying…to be better about infusing Christ into their daily lives. We pray before meals, we sing songs about Jesus, we pray about our day at the beginning and end, we attend church faithfully…but I’m unfortunately not great about getting them into the word. Sadly, I’m not all that great about getting ME into His word, either. I’m trying desperately to do better about both of these issues! Thank you, thank you, for showcasing this amazing looking version.

Besides going to church and Sunday School twice on Sunday and once on Wednesday I try to do a 5-minute devotional with my kiddos (2.5 years old and 10 months). I also read picture bibles to them at bed time. My son is so into books so I have made sure we have board books that tell about Jesus and the stories of the bible.
