Product Details

A smaller, fatter version of Selina Hastings's outstanding edition of The Children's Illustrated Bible, this child-size volume is just right for the beginning Bible student. Hastings retells the stories of the Old and New Testaments in a lucid, flowing style for children's enjoyment and edification. Hastings consulted with a cadre of educators, scholars, and religious advisors to retain the original feel and poetry of the Bible, while appealing to contemporary young readers with clear, lively language. The somewhat lackluster illustrations on every page are not nearly as compelling as the stories themselves, but the variety of other artwork, including maps and color photographs of artifacts, plants, biblical places, animals, people, and architecture, makes up for any deficit there. All the best-known parables and teachings are here, including "The Golden Calf," "Sodom and Gomorrah," "The Garden of Eden," "Jesus Walks on the Water," The Parable of the Talents," and "The Crucifixion," among many others. This volume also includes a "Who's Who in the Bible Stories" as well as quotations from the King James Bible, identified by chapter and verse. Hastings has written several other collections of Bible stories, including The Birth of Jesus and The Miracles of Jesus. (Ages 8 and older)

Product Reviews

(1 stars) - Undisclosed Minature
I ordered this book based on one I had seen, 8" x 10 1/4", but the volume that arrived was a minature, ~5" x ~6.5". What a surprise! This book had print so small that I needed a magnifing glass in addition to my reading glasses to see the print. I was stunned with this minature version, the dimensions of which were never disclosed in the discription -- a terible disappointment. I am at a loss to understand why the publisher published this volume in an unacceptable size. My purchase was returned.

(5 stars) - Children's Illustrated Bible
I am using this book for Sunday School. We are going through the Bible in a year. It has been wonderful and the kids are really learning a lot!

(4 stars) - older kids
not for kids under 8... even then it takes a lot of explaining... could have been made a little easier to understand

(5 stars) - FABULOUS BIBLE
THIS BIBLE WAS WELL WRITTEN, TRUE TO THE FACTS, & EASY TO READ AND UNDERSTAND. I HAVE BOUGHT MANY OF THEM TO GIVE AS GIFTS TO FAMILY MEMBERS & FRIENDS.

(5 stars) - Just as described
Very pleased with the Children's Bible! Very pleased that I got it for a low price, and the fact that it was new. My grandchildren love hearing the Bible stories.
