Would You Like To Know...

...what my husband reads to me at night (or rather, tries to read to me since I am generally passed out well before he's finished all of his studying and reading and researching and writing for class)?  This lovely book:

The Jesus Storybook Bible is amazing.  If you have children, this is a definite must-get for them.  It goes through all the major stories of the Bible- both Old Testament and New Testament- and delivers the stories accurately, but in such a way that it is easier to understand how Jesus is seen throughout the entire Bible, and not just the New Testament.  Seriously, it's the best children's Bible ever.

We have this and like it okay, but I much prefer "The Big Picture Storybook Bible." To me, it's more accurate theologically but still keeps Christ as the center of the entire story of the Bible. We've been through both books, and like it better. In contrast to your average kid's Bibles out there, though, the Jesus Storybook Bible is far superior.
Just my $.02!!

I really, really like this, too. The stories are short and an appropriate length for a bedtime story and there is a clear beginning, middle, and end, but the theme of Jesus is in every story. I have read this to Daniel for his entire life, and I personally enjoy it!
