The best-selling Lion Children's Bible contains accessible retellings of all the important stories of the Bible.
Accompanied by appealing illustrations, these timeless stories can be enjoyed alone or with the help of an adult.
All the significant stories of the Old and New Testaments to the book of Acts are retold in clear, simple language which children understand. The stories may be read as individual stories, yet they form a continuous narrative which closely follows the 'one story' of God and his people contained in the whole Bible.

Reviews for The Lion Children's Bible: The world's greatest story retold for every child: Super-readable edition
'No wonder that this book has been used in schools for many years. The stories are told clearly and briefly without losing anything in the re-telling, and are enhanced by the illustrations that bring the stories to life, action pictures that tell their own story by the wonderful expressions on the characters faces.' The Good Book Stall 'All the main stories of the Old and New Testaments are attractively presented... like a series of rich, short stories.' The Good Book Guide
