I ordered a copy of the Precious Moments “Storybook Bible” to read and review and have been delighted with it! The “Precious Moments” illustrations are timeless and quite attractive to children. My little niece is only 2 years old, so while she is still a bit young to understand the stories, we’ve been enjoying looking through the illustrations with her and it has been so sweet to see her face light up with enjoyment as she sees the children drawn in different stories and situations.
The “Storybook Bible” looks like it’s made for just that, as something to be read to a child such as at bedtime. The stories are short and concise, filling up less than 3 pages each, and come with a couple illustrations per story. The stories are written in an easy to read and understand language for little ones from about ages 4 or 5 and on. It gives a good springboard to add to, comment or ask questions on.
I’ve liked the way some of the Precious Moments Bibles for kids takes it from a different angle, not just listing the Bible stories in their chronological order, but by themed sections like this one. Some of the sections not just based on a story, but also drawing morals and character points from Bible passages and putting them in child friendly language to present to them. Overall I really enjoyed this book and look forward to reading it with my niece in the future once she’s old enough.
