Jesus Storybook Bible

'The Jesus Storybook Bible' is a gospel centred approach to teaching God’s gracious plan of salvation to children. The Storybook Bible is available as an illustrated book with audio and as part of a well-developed Sunday school curriculum. The Christological focus of this material makes this an outstanding resource for churches and or families.  

"Every story in the Bible whispers Jesus’ name.

For example, the story of the heroic David slaying the giant Goliath is often taught to children with the central message that they are to become brave like David. The main message, however, is really about a God who sends David to rescue his people. This points us toward an even greater hero, whose name is Jesus."

 Listen to an excerpt from the Deluxe edition which contains audio.

The Bible is the true story of a God who loves and rescues his people by sending his Son to live the lives they should have lived, and die the death they should have died.

The Jesus Storybook Bible was developed by members of the Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York, under the teaching of Tim Keller.
