God's Big Picture Bible Storybook: 140 Connecting Bible Stories of God's Faithful Promises

Brief overview: 

New Testament scholar N.T. Wright walks kids through 140 Bible stories, including portions from the Psalms, Proverbs, Old Testament books like Isaiah and Daniel, and letters from Paul in the New Testament.

Recommended age range: 6-10

Strengths: 

  • A good stepping stone for kids toward diving deeper into Scripture and gearing up to read and understand the Bible.
  • Includes biblical references to show where each Bible story is pulled from. (And kids can opt to read those Scriptures alongside the written story.)
  • Helps kids connect different parts of the Bible to other portions using a visual element and page number to another biblical text in the storybook.
  • Brings clarity to biblical history and provides context for kids to track with the biblical narrative in deeper ways.
  • Illustrations bring the Bible stories to life in fresh ways.

Additional Notes:

  • No discussion or comprehension questions provided. 
  • Includes maps at the back.
  • I received a free copy of this storybook Bible so I could provide an honest review.
