The Biggest Story

We've had this book for a number of years now, and still read it regularly. Our older children aged 6-7 enjoy listening to it and ask for 'one more chapter please!' It contains easy to understand language within the 10 chapters, each roughly 10 pages long, covered in vivid and unique illustrations on every page. This book isn't filled with 'individual' bible stories, but how it all fits together. It not only emphasizes that Jesus Christ is the only Saviour for our sins, but that He is the fulfilment of a long line of prophecies. He is the long-expected Prophet, Priest and King! He is the snake-crusher that God promised right back in the garden after the fall. It continues to remind its readers that we are sinners and as such, we need redemption, we need forgiveness, we need a Saviour that is only found in Jesus Christ. Great for the parents reading as well.

With beautifully presented illustrations full of colour and life, the stories pull down this book. The stories are clunky; written to be read by an individual themselves rather than aloud with others. It is full of phrases & ideas that are abstract rather than concrete. For example: """"The constantly had enemies to fight. And worse, they constantly had to fight the temptation to be just like their enemies. """" (page 74)\\nThe focus of this book is on clever theological concepts, rather than illuminating the mind through creative story. I find it too abstract to recommend to children below the age of 8, and would skip it over others more suited to a wider audience.

This could be the most beautifully illustrated Bible Storybook I've seen so far!\\r\\nIt is also a great read, something for the whole family to enjoy. It includes full-colour illustrations and a very unique format of story telling. This is a bible storybook you will not want to stop staring at :)
