Catholic Book of Bible Stories

I bought this Bible for my son who just turned 5. This Bible is a nice introduction to the stories of the Bible and is just right for his age and a few years older (4 - 7 years old). The things I like about this Bible are...* Each Bible story is a short 2 pages. Perfect for younger children.* At the end of each story their is a short summary of how to the story applies to the child's life.* After the summary there is a prayer that also applies to the story.* At the beginning of the book are familiar Catholic prayers such as the "Our Father", "Hail Mary", "Glory Be", "Grace", and "Angel of God" (also known as the Guardian Angel Prayer).* At the back of the book there is an activity or extension of each Bible story.An example of the layout of this book is the first story in the book is the story of creation. The summary states "God created everything on this Earth, and then he asked people to take care of his creation." The short prayer reads, "Thank you for creating the world, Lord. Your creation is beautiful." and ends with the sign of the cross and Amen. The activity in the back tells you you need magazines, glue, & paper or cardboard. The directions state to cut pictures of God's creation from magazines and glue them to the cardboard and display it. After the activity is complete you are instructed to ask your child(ren) what he/she/they do to help take care of the world God created.A very nice first Bible for young children.

I wanted a Catholic bible to read daily with my son, this is perfect! The stories are short, but also have meaning, at the end of the story they have a prayer and blessing and describe the meaning behind the story. It takes less than 5 minutes. My son even says "We are reading the bible tonight, right?" He is used to our routine and this book makes it easy to weave into our night. Highly recommend!!

We love, love, love this book. Every night before bed for a year now since buying this, my husband or I will share a story from this book with our two daughters - ages 4 and almost 2. I love how they are short enough to keep the attention of little ones, but not compromising on theology. My older daughter especially has really retained a lot of knowledge from this book and is becoming very familiar with some of the important members of salvation history. This is certainly not an exhaustive chronicle of every person or story in the Bible, so if that's what you're looking for, check out some other options. But if you have little ones and you are looking to start teaching them a few more details about the Bible, this is what you're looking for! The art is really nice (not creepy or awkward like some other Bible story books have) and the little prayers at the end are just right.

Beautiful Bible for young children. I got this for my 4 year old to begin reading bible stories and he likes them and the pictures. We read one of these stories at the end of story time before bed. Each story ends with the lesson and a prayer. Great way to end our nightly ritual before bed. Highly recommend!

Was a gift for godson. His mother (my cousin) said the book was easy to read, understand and follow for her son (~3 years old). Pictures in book are clear, text is large. Stories are condensed yet concise to keep biblical stories relevant enough to get the main points across yet short enough for children to hear the story through.Not going to lie....I even read ~100 pages of the book on my own before giving it to my godson! Great gift for children!God Bless :)

The pictures are beautiful and I like the amount of text per picture. However, I don’t think the amount of skin exposure for Adam and Eve on the big picture of them was necessary. I obviously understand the importance of including the details of their story, but even more leaf coverage from the branches would have been great. We tore that page out before giving it to our five year old.

My daughter picked this out when I asked what she would like as a Baptism gift for my Grandson. She is very pleased with it. She specifically wanted a Catholic Bible Story book. The book is smaller than I expected, maybe 10x 10”. But it was only around $10, so it was a good value.

Purchased this for my children and if offers great illustrations for each bible story! The stories are a very condensed version but this great for bedtime too!
