Emma can’t seem to get enough Bible stories these days. (Great problem to have, eh?) Just the other day I snapped this photo when she was curled up in her little reading corner in the living room.
She’s quickly outgrowing the Bible storybooks she’s had for a while. She’s been using her Princess Bible to look up the original references for the stories. We’ve realized she’s definitely ready for more.
That’s why I’m excited about this new resource available from Thomas Nelson. Children’s Favorite Bible Stories is full of Bible stories, but there’s one major difference between this book and most Bible storybooks I’ve seen. This one tells classic Bible stories using actual Bible text. It’s not a summary. It’s not told in a different way. It’s God’s Word used to tell His stories.
Children’s Favorite Bible Stories also gives includes ‘Did You Know,’ ‘Special Words,’ and ‘Quote of the Day’ sections to help kids learn even more. The ‘Going Deeper’ sections give her ideas for reading more, and the ‘Do It’ section helps her apply what she’s learned.
Want to sneak a peek into the book? There’s a flipbook sample available here to help you do just that.

Jessica says
I would share this book with my daughters.
Peggy says
I would give this to our 8-year-old daughter who loves to read and loves the Bible!
Donna White says
I personally would not share it but my 9 year old, Emily, would. She would share it with her 4th grade class. She holds Bible Study at Recess every day that they are allowed to go outside. The coach gave her a Bible Story Book recently from his doctor after he had shared her story with the doctor. Am so very happy that my little one, in her innocence, is sharing her Faith with the others in her class and anyone else who is willing to listen! Way to go, Em!
Jennifer Short says
My favorite Bible story was Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednigo in the Fiery Furnace!
Heather says
I would love to read this to my five year old Abby. I would like her to have her own special Bible that didn’t already belong to a sibling. She is really getting into Bible stories now and I think this would keep her attention.
Theresa Walker says
I would love this for my 5-year old daughter! We just got the Jesus Storybook Bible at Christmas which she is loving because it connects the idea of Jesus coming to earth throughout all the Old Testament stories through to the end.
Pam says
I would definitely share this with my son, David. He is almost 3, but devours books. He loves learning Bible stories. I would say my favorite is David… who our son is named after.
Kristin Taylor says
My kids — my 5-year-old daughter, especially — would love this! My favorite story may be about Abraham and Issac.
Mindy says
I would share this Bible with my 3 little ones. Our 4 year old would enjoy it the most though!
Angela Hinson says
I would share this with my nieces. They don’t go to church, but go with us when they can. The oldest one is learning to read and that would be a great thing for her to read to me and her sister.
