I recommend: The Big Picture Story Bible

If you’re looking for a great resource for your kids that provides an overview of the entire Bible, this is it. The Big Picture Story Bible tells just that — the big picture. It addresses the themes of creation, fall and redemption in a clear, simple way. Lots of big pictures make it especially appealing for small children.

It’s a big book, at about 450 pages, divided into 26 chapters. It’s no problem getting through one chapter in just a few minutes, and it wasn’t unusual for us to read two or three chapters at at time. I’ve gone through this Bible with Daniel twice, and it only took us about 10 days or two weeks to complete it each time.

If you’re looking for a resource that provides details about some well-known Bible stories, this isn’t it. But if you’d like to help your children understand the main themes of the Bible and provide them with an excellent overview of Scripture, look no further.

  1. We bought this about two months ago and we love it. What is great about this book is that it is so simple that it is very understandable for children, but the content is also so rich that it could be used to teach adults who do not know anything about the Bible.
