The Children's Bible cover

This beautifully illustrated collection presents Bible stories for young readers. The Children's Bible is perfect for ages 7 to 9, offering engaging narratives from both testaments.

This engaging collection offers a beautifully illustrated selection of Bible stories tailored for children aged 7 to 9. The Children's Bible presents a comprehensive array of tales from both the Old and New Testaments, retold in a clear and accessible manner for young readers. Each story is crafted to ignite curiosity and foster a deeper understanding of these timeless narratives.

In the Old Testament, children will encounter iconic stories such as the Garden of Eden, the tale of Cain and Abel, Noah and the Ark, and the journey of Moses. Other notable figures like Abraham, Joseph, David, and Daniel are also featured, providing a rich tapestry of faith and morality. These stories are not only entertaining but also serve as valuable lessons about courage, kindness, and perseverance.

The New Testament section highlights the life and teachings of Jesus, introducing children to parables such as the Good Samaritan and the Prodigal Son. Key events, including the Last Supper, Crucifixion, and Resurrection, are presented in a manner that is both respectful and age-appropriate. Complementing the text are Carla Manea’s vibrant illustrations, which enhance the storytelling experience and make The Children's Bible a delightful addition to any child's library.

TEACHER and writer Sally Ann Wright has produced a page-turner of the Bible for the seven-to-nine-year age group in The Children’s Bible (SPCK, hardback, £9.99). In 140 succinctly-written pages, appropriately colourfully illustrated by Carla Manea, she takes her readers through both the Old and New Testaments, interpreting and presenting complex stories with clarity and integrity. Invaluable for both home and Sunday school. -- Margaret Daniels * Methodist Recorder *
Aimed at seven to nine year-olds this beautifully illustrated book retells 101 key Bible stories. Unlike some other children’s bibles, it doesn’t simply focus only on the best-known and familiar stories but seeks to lead children equally through some of the important moments of the Old and New Testaments in accessible but engaging and lively language. Some of the perhaps lesser known stories covered include Ezra, Nebuchadnezzar and Nehemiah. Published in mid-August, this attractive but sturdy 140-page volume would be appreciated by youngsters keen to learn more about the Bible or be a welcome addition or helpful resource for young church groups and Sunday schools. -- Lynne McNeil * Life and Work *
