Review: Even atheists like it! - I’m atheist and I bought this to read with my 7 yo son. My son attends a local non-faith school where they learn about religions, and this approach present Christianity as one religion among many, covering Christianity beyond Christmas in very little detail. This is problematic because not only is Christianity the State religion in the UK it is so much a part of the culture - you cannot hope to understand British history without a full understanding of Western Christianity, just as you cannot underestimate the impact the King James Bible had on English Literature and the turns of phrase many native Brits still use to this day. For this reason I bought this book to read with my son to start building his understanding of the Bible stories, characters and teachings. It is a very lovely book with each story set to a page or two with just enough illustrations to assist the text without distraction from it. As anyone who has actually read the Bible will know, there is much death, destruction and rape etc in the Old Testament. This book presents outlines of the stories with the worst of the gore and horror removed so it is appropriate for young readers. Highly recommend. Review: Wonderful Bible Stories for Children - This book is a fantastic way to introduce children to Bible stories. The daily format makes it easy to read a new story every day, keeping kids engaged. The language is simple and accessible, perfect for young readers. The illustrations are beautiful and help bring the stories to life. A great addition to any child's bookshelf!

Perfect for kids
A really great Bible for younger children. My daughter has grown out of her "my first Bible" which was more for toddlers/pre school. Now she's 8 and needed more depth and a Bible that covered all the stories, this one has lived up to that and she loves it and wants to read one a day to go through it all in a year :)

Lovely book. Unsatisfactory packaging
Beautiful book and it arrived quickly, but the package was breached in two places so it was lucky not to have arrived damaged

Wonderfully displayed Bible stories and scenic views
Wonderfully displayed Children's Bible stories, and scenic views. I have no children of this age, therefore I bought it for myself. I was brought up in a Christian environment among 4 sisters and 2 brothers. We were encouraged to read the Bible which in those days did not have pictures like these modern day ones. I thoroughly enjoy reading these transformed and well illustrated Children's Bible offering a story a day for a whole year, (365 days) This is marvelous, each picture tells a story. I love it.
