The author makes the point that this book is not a substitute for reading the Bible. That's always true with anything written about the Bible. However this beautifully illustrated book will go a long way towards helping your child to understand the most precious book in the world, the living word of God. In this first book of a new series, Phil has used his creative skills as a graphic designer to produce beautifully clear images that enable the reader to visualise what the text is saying. The paraphrase of the Bible text, that accompanies the pictures, opens up God's word for a younger generation. If you are looking for a great present to give to your children, grandchildren, or a resource to use in toddler groups and children's Sunday School, then this children's Bible story book should be on your list.
