What a beautiful way to introduce little ones to the Bible.

As a teenager, I read this book to my little nephews and I looked forward to the stories as much as they did! The illustrations are beautiful and the stories written in a simplistic manner so children can understand them. It's hard to stop reading just one or two at a time.

A Wonderful Book!

This is a fantastic book. The artwork is simply beautiful - enchanting, actually - and the Bible stories are told in a simple yet engaging style. For the last year, my 3 1/2 year old has consistently asked for this book far more than any others. We read it every night before going to bed, and it is the first thing he asks for in the morning. He repeatedly tells us it is his favorite book.

Stories to enlighten even young children.

I actually still have the version of this book my mother read to me as a child. She must have started reading it to me when I was only three years old. Quite possibly this book started me on my way to finding God. I never forgot the stories or the painting style pictures. The pictures in fact fascinated me, and I remember looking through the book on my own at an early age. The language in this book is in simple words, yet teaches great truths. This was the source of light to me as a child. Basically, this is a book of stories from the Bible in language very young children can understand. I quote: King Solomon built this new house. Do you know who he made it for? It is God's house. It took a long time to build it because it is so nice. Solomon is glad because he could make this beautiful house for God to live in. I Kings 6:11-14 1. Whose house is this? 2. Is Solomon glad? Not only are the stories understandable, children will enjoy answering the questions, pointing to items in the pictures and even possibly reading parts of the story themselves. When I read my "adult" Bible, I sometimes wish my version was illustrated as beautifully as this book. At least the pictures are in my mind and remind me of when I first learned the beautiful stories of the Bible. There are so many lessons we can apply to our own lives today. ~The Rebecca Review

Best Book From My Childhood

One of my earliest memories is of slipping into the kindergarten classroom during recess to sneak a peek at the pictures. The teacher read a story every day and I could barely wait to hear the next one. It never occurred to me to simply ask to look at the book for a while! My beloved aunt recently bought a copy for my baby, it is my most prized gift! I loved this book!!!

An adult remembers the influence this book had upon him.

My parents used this book to teach me the basic points of the Gospel when I was a toddler. I remember being captivated by the colorful pictures and the exciting accounts of history as told in the Bible. More than anything, I remember the awesome sense of holiness and reality with which the truths contained in this book were conveyed. As I grew older, the foundation laid through the use of this book helped me to start a friendship with Jesus that has, thankfully, grown and deepened across the years. Any parent can rest assured that this book both accurately and reverently presents God's plan for mankind in a way that any child can understand.

Wonderfully knitted together for little ones.

I am using this book to teach my three year old Bible in the school I do with him in the mornings and it is just the right amount before he tends to want to get up and start something else. He is captivated by the pictures and the way the words flow for his age group. I have finally found a book that is compatible to his age group and at same time teaches the truth in God's Word. I would most definetly recommend mothers and fathers to use this book before bed time or during homeschooling little ones. What a great title: The Bible in Pictures for Little Eyes. It really says it all. Sincerely, Another Homeschooling Mom
