The Jesus Storybook Bible - Collector's Edition
If you want a profound children's Bible storybook where the overarching story is Jesus, The Jesus Storybook Bible does it nicely. The Jesus Storybook Bible helps children hear the sound of Jesus in all of the stories in the Bible. From the Old Testament through the New Testament, as the Story unfolds, children will clearly see that Jesus is at the center of God's great story of salvation.
The Jesus Storybook Bible: Every Story Whispers His Name was written for the young child looking for a deeper understanding of the Bible. It makes a great addition to family devotions or can be read by an older, confident reader.
The Jesus Storybook Bible is not the Bible but is a storybook. As such, some of the stories have been embroidered a bit to add clarity or drama.
Use this opportunity, then, to talk to your children about perspective and intent and, in some cases, how they would have taken that passage and made it more understandable for children.
The beautifully produced, award-winning Jesus Storybook Bible is the key part of this collector's edition. Also included are audio CDs richly narrated by David Suchet and a DVD with animated videos of all 44 stories packaged in a slipcase. The DVD's simple, clean animation matches the original vibrant and quirky illustrations of The Jesus Storybook Bible.

"A unique resource for communicating the gospel to children in all it's fullness."
—Kathy Keller, Redeemer Church Parenting Newsletter, NYC, Feb 2007
"I would urge not just families with young children to get this book, but every Christian"
—Dr Tim Keller, Redeemer Presbyterian Church, NYC, Feb 2007
"The Jesus Storybook Bible is unlike any other storybook. True, that's to be expected when you combine the mesmerizing illustrations of Jago and the award-winning writing of Sally Lloyd-Jones, a Brit with an uncanny knack for storytelling. Not only is each story as vividly illustrated as it is portrayed, but also each tale is telling one Big Story--the Story of Jesus. Even the Old Testament stories of `The young hero and the horrible giant' and `Daniel and the scary sleepover' come full circle to Jesus, the greatest Hero, King, Lover and Rescuer the world has ever known."
—More to Life Magazine, May 2007
"'The Jesus Storybook Bible: Every Story Whispers His Name' disproves the adage that you can't judge a book by its cover. Jago's award-winning cover art is a foretaste of the whimsically insightful and richly colored drawings that await you on every one of the book's 351 pages. The illustrations alone are worth the price of the book. Jago the illustrator, and Sally Lloyd-Jones the author, are a good pair. She brings the same creativity and sense of humor to her telling of the Bible's stories. But Lloyd-Jones's writing isn't cutesy. She has a grasp of the profound. How does one explain to a child the agony of Jesus in Gethsemane, and his prayer of surrender to his Father? Lloyd-Jones does it as well as any biblical commentator. The title and subtitle are even better than the book's delightful illustrations and narrative -- because they provide, in one deft stroke, the interpretive key that unlocks the meaning of the whole Bible. 'The Jesus Storybook Bible' says it all: The Scriptures are not merely a collection of stories designed to teach moral lessons. As Jesus explained to the men walking the road to Emmaus on Resurrection Sunday, the whole Bible is about Jesus. In the words of the subtitle, every story whispers his name. Lloyd-Jones manages to show again and again the presence of Christ in all the Old Testament Scriptures, and the presence of the Old Testament Scriptures in the life of Christ."
