First came The Beginner's Bible in 1989 that sold more than 2.5 million copies, also illustrated by Dennas Davis. It was a break through for children with illustrations and fast paced text. Now, The Praise Bible, also illustrated by Dennas Davis, combines a fun illustration style taking kids into the 21st century, with fast paced and biblically accurate story text.The part we like best, is how each story is summarized at the end in a contemporary scene, that applies the truth of the story in a way that children understand. And, it helps children have a positive attitude about the Bible, since each story is up-beat and ends with a focus on thankfulness to God.Anyone who opens up The Praise Bible to the story about "The Seed and the Soil" will immediatly see how the illustrator is able to teach the story so well with his fantastic art work - and then when the art is combined with the story - it truly is a master piece.I highly recommend it for children from ages 3 to 7, and believe it is also simple enough for even college professors to understand!
This Bible is wonderfully illustrated, Biblically accurate, and the stories are quite easy to read to your children. I say this because some children's Bibles have overly simplified pictures and sound like baby-talk when read out loud. However, All my children ages 4-10 have enjoyed this Bible. Even my "visual" child... who tends to tune out if the pictures in a book do not catch his interest. There are many times my children keep asking for more and we seem to read through half the Bible when my intent is to only read a story or two! I particularly like how it includes many of Jesus parables and goes more in-depth on other topics as well. Our family is on our second one, since we wore out the first one!Also, If you like this Bible, you will also love: God's Best Promises for Kids [Hardcover] which is written and illustrated by the same folks (Mack Thomas/Dennas Davis). My kids want to read God's Best Promises for Kids over and over again.Both are wonderful resources for budding families!
Great bible - love the accurate racial depictions, appropriate lengthed stories for little ones and the number of stories it includes. A great toddler bible that has a prayer after each story to kind of wrap up and direct focus to God.
I would like my church to give out one of these bibles to all the appropriate aged children. My three year old son asked Jesus into his heart by praying one of the prayers of praise in this Bible. As I was reading the prayer (after the story where Jesus goes to prepare rooms for us) I was overwhelming by it and realized it was the prayer of salvation. I was floored when my son said he wanted to pray that prayer. Could you ask for anything more from a bible? Yet, I am amazed at the theological accuracy of this Bible. Now, largely due to this Bible, my son knows more about the Bible than most adults. He sees the stories not just as a story to "know" but one that affects our daily life. He sees the stories not just individually but also also how they fit into the whole picture. Maybe my church should get one for the adults too!
We've read lots of story book Bibles with our kids. This is my favorite. Most importantly, it's theologically sound. "Jesus allowed Himself to die". I love it. We've read it so much, it's falling apart and I need to buy a new one for our youngest. My kids are particularly drawn to the story of Jesus' temptation in the desert. It presents Jesus' power over evil perfectly.
This is the second bible of this kind that my son has had. The stories of the Bible are well represented in this book. Also, at the end of each bible story, there is a short praise connecting the story to every day life. Great for training a child to see God's hand in all that he encounters. I haven't actually seen any other Bibles that do this.
This is my 7-year olds indispensable Scriptures. He loves it. Your child will too. The bright, vibrant artwork of Dennas Davis coupled with Mack's retelling of favorite Bible stories is wonderful. For children raised on VeggieTales and Nickleodeon, this is their Bible!
