Giving your children an early start in hearing and reading the Bible helps them to stick with it as they grow up. 100 Bible Stories for Children helps provide a foundation of Bible reading for children.

Each of the selected stories, starting in Genesis and ending in Revelation, are written in a way that kids can read and understand. The message is not changed, but it is geared for young minds. The book does not stick with “feel good” stories, but covers when God’s people sinned, too. Each chapter has colorful pictures that show what the story is about. Though it is aimed at ages 5-8, the pictures can be used to share the book with younger children. The scripture passage where the stories come from are listed at the beginning, so parents can use the Bible to provide more details or answer questions their kids have. These references can also be used by older children to find the passage on their own.

I still remember a children’s Bible story book I read when I was little, so I know that books like this stay with kids as they grow older. The simple wording helps young minds understand the meaning and the colorful pictures help hold their attention. I think this would be a good book for parents, and even Sunday School teachers, to use.

I received a free copy of 100 Bible Stories for Children from Tyndale House Publishers in exchange for my honest review.
