About this deal

Perhaps the greatest value of this book is how it can train parents (and anyone in a position of teaching) to teach the Scriptures rightly to their children.”– WTS Bookstore That voice allowed her to put in quirky lines. For example, after God confused the languages at the Tower of Babel, Lloyd-Jones wrote, “You could be saying something like ‘Such a lovely morning!’ and then get a punch in the nose because they thought you said, ‘Hush up, you’re boring!’” As an adult, Lloyd-Jones let her friend Eric Metaxas talk her into visiting Tim Keller’s Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York City. complete printable lessons with teaching notes based on material from Timothy Keller, memory verses, and four-color children’s handouts with take-home notes

Written for children ages four and up, The Jesus Storybook Bible tells the one story underneath all the stories of the Bible and points to the birth of a child, the Rescuer, Jesus. Complete with 44 Bible stories, The Jesus Storybook Bible paints a beautiful portrait of Jesus and invites children to see that he is not only at the center of God's great story of redemption he is at the center of their story too. I would urge not just families with young children to get this book, but every Christian--from pew warmers, to ministry leaders, seminarians and even theologians! Sally Lloyd-Jones has captured the heart of what it means to find Christ in all the scriptures, and has made clear even to little children that all God's revelation has been about Jesus from the beginning--a truth not all that commonly recognized even among the very learned.' Dr. Timothy Keller Donald Guthrie, professor of educational ministries at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School (TEDS), doesn’t see any distortion of God’s character in Lloyd-Jones’s bestselling work.Another debate came over the illustrator. Lloyd-Jones, who majored in art history and worked with illustrators in previous jobs, had a vision for how the book needed to look.

Lloyd-Jones is firm: “You have to know you’re loved first. Rules don’t have the power to change your heart; God’s love does.” For Children and Adults Jago is an accomplished illustrator with several prestigious awards to his credit, including a Macmillian "Highly Commended" Award for Children's Illustration in 2003, an AOI Silver Award in 2004, and the National Literacy Association Wow! Award. Jago lives in Cornwall with his wife and daughter. I see kids who are virtually illiterate carrying your Bible around the school grounds every day and reading it every time they get a chance. Some of them had read it all the way through within a week of receiving it. Some of the older girls in the boarding house read it together with the younger girls every night before they go to bed. They come to school and love to tell me what they’ve been reading about and where they’re up to.

She also admired the way Keller “never uses jargon, but always finds a way to say it in a different way, and always uses metaphor. In my business, that’s the way you get truth across.” Lloyd-Jones started somewhat reluctantly, prepared to do a good job and then get on to the next thing. What follows is a paraphrase of John 1:11–13, and an invitation to say yes to Jesus and receive his wonderful gift. TEDS isn’t the only one to use The Jesus Storybook Bible in a required course. At Covenant Seminary in St. Louis, professors hold it up as an example. Madison Square Church in Grand Rapids, Michigan, based an ongoing series for both children and adults on The Jesus Storybook Bible. And missionaries are using the book all around the world.

All too often, children’s Bible storybooks isolate individual biblical stories from the message of the Scriptures… The Jesus Storybook Bible is a wonderful exception to this trend… exegetically faithful to the text while directing children to what adults would call the “redemptive historical” meaning… Bible stories learned this way do what God intended them to do – they lead people to know and believe the gospel of Jesus.”– WTS Bookstore It has turned out to be what all of us in the store suspected when we first saw it: the kind of children’s Bible storybook for which many, many thoughtful Christian parents have been waiting.”– Westminster Theological Seminary Bookstore Having a narrator also let her end each story with a glimpse of what is to come (“I love cliffhangers”). Lloyd-Jones credits much of the book’s success to the illustrator, whose depictions of Jesus are “fresh and multiracial and so perfect.” Jago’s drawings of the scene moved me to tears. I can only imagine what it will be like to sit with the book open to this scene, a child at my side, and try to read it aloud.

Guthrie was one of them. He began including The Jesus Storybook Bible in a required class on educational ministry at TEDS.
