Description: God’s love is unstoppable. And that’s a promise.
Noah’s ark. Joseph’s dreams. Jesus’s miracles. The Bible is rich with stories for our children to hear and enjoy, but when those stories uncover the thread of God’s promises, our children learn much more than individual Bible stories. They discover how God has demonstrated His love for us, from the first promise in the garden to the promise of the new heavens and earth.
A conversational, whimsical, biblically faithful retelling of more than fifty key Bible stories, The Promises of God Storybook Bible lets your child hear favorite stories with new ears, repeatedly assuring them that each word is proof of God’s unstoppable love and unbreakable promises to His people.
My Thoughts: What I like about this storybook Bible is the interactiveness. Each chapter ends with four questions which prod children to remember and think on what was just read. And the narratives themselves are peppered with questions that prompt a verbal response. The way these stories are told lead to genuine conversation between the children and whomever is reading.
The theme of this book is also a great one, teaching children that God always keeps his promises and showing stories from the Bible that prove it. Unlike many storybooks, this one does not have as much of a narrative flow, instead treating every story as a lesson. Sometimes, this style leaves the story feeling a little choppy, but overall I think it works well. It also helps to remind the reader (adult) that this is not the actual Bible and shouldn't be used as a substitute.
I think this is a great addition to a family or church's library and will be using it as a resource myself.
I have provided an honest review after having received a copy of this book from the publisher.
