The Beginner's Gospel Story Bible
Our foray into foster care has yielded a flock of miniature humans who would rather leap from the couch than sit attentively on it. Devotions have to be short, eye-catching, and easy to understand for these little ones.
For the adults, it has to be theologically solid and grace-centered (not moral lessons aimed at behavior modification), mainly because we know that some of these children will be returned to spiritually dark situations. The Beginner's Gospel Story Bible has checked all our boxes.
The illustrations are simple, captivating, and stunning, and the minimal text is clear and theologically correct. Because God's promises are at the heart of the gospel, The Beginner's Gospel Story Bible focuses on them. The Old Testament section is titled "Promises Made," and the New Testament "Promises Kept."
Stories highlight God's plan of redemption through Jesus and the unexpected ways God's grace and mercy are revealed throughout the Bible. With The Beginner's Gospel Story Bible, your tiniest children will learn key Bible stories and essential words like sin, promise, Jesus, Savior, pray and forgive.
The vividly-colored illustrations provide your little ones with an opportunity for fun learning such as counting, finding the opposite, looking for patterns, and more. A fundamental truth in every story is printed extra-bold, perfect for quick reviews or reading with infants.
Each of the 52 stories ends with a question that you can use to further reinforce the story. Because you don't want your children to just understand the Bible, you want them to want the Jesus of the Bible. If you have small children in your home, you will want to add The Beginner's Gospel Story Bible to your bookshelf.

Though the language is simple enough for toddlers, the gospel truth it carries can and will transform lives. The illustrations compliment the story, creating a colorful journey for children as they discover the promises of God and how they are fulfilled in Jesus Christ.
