For parents looking for a dependable and sturdy first Bible for their children, this Illustrated Children's Bible covers the Bible with simply told text that is vivid and will stay in children's memory and imaginations. Either as a bedtime resource, or an aid to reading, the Bible is a vital tool in a child's development.

This is a truly comprehensive children's Bible storybook that covers all of Scripture thoroughly in 608 pages. On every double page there is a simply told story, with realistic, kid-friendly colour illustrations (not cartoonish). There are 169 OT stories and 118 NT. Ages 4-10.

"This is one of my all-time favourite Bible storybooks. J Emmerson-Hicks is well known for his editorial work on Matthew Henry's Commentary and 200 other reference works in the areas of English language and Bible reference. His children's Bible offers a very good sweep of God's Word, with all the old favourites included. The striking cover and illustrations throughout this book are a highlight; each one not only illustrates the text, it contributes something new to the narrative. The Anglicised English text is easy to read, and with nearly 300 individual stories it offers a version of the "read the Bible in a year" genre for younger children to 9 year-olds." - Bronwyn Bootes Billington, Koorong Children's Buyer, August 2014.
