I received a free copy of this product by Tyndale Kids in exchange for writing a review. All opinions are my own.
I kind of feel like one can never have too many storybook Bibles, so we recently added this to our collection:
What makes this version stand out to me is the fact that it uses traditional illustrations, rather than the cute-and-flashy pictures typical of most of our other storybook Bibles:
Another difference with this book is that since there are 100 stories, it includes several that you won't find in most other storybook Bibles. Even the common tales of Joseph, Moses and David include so much more detail than we're used to reading and multiple chapters are devoted to them.
I'll be honest and say that this is probably my least favorite of the storybook Bibles that we have. It just has a more classic, serious feel to me and I definitely prefer the "cutesy" illustrations of the others.
However, that doesn't mean that I wouldn't recommend it. In fact, I can easily see this storybook Bible being the better choice for many families, as its classic appearance and high-quality pages (they seem thicker to me than most) would make it stand the test of time and be a treasure to be passed down from generation to generation.
And Gv claims it's great and that we absolutely have to include it in our rotation, which means that we'll now be adding one more book to our weekly story stack...
If you're looking for a lovely gift or for a sturdy storybook Bible for your own family, then this book would be a lovely choice. Grab a copy for your family here!
