The easiest-to-understand bible I've ever read.

What's good about this one is that it's summarized without omitting important details. The pictures are what holds me on this book for long.

I love being able to share the Word of God with my children. Praise God for books like this which breaks the Word down for little minds to understand.

Minunata! Superba! Merita citita de toată lumea. Este foarte frumos explicata pe înțelesul copiilor, iar la sfârșit are și câteva întrebări pentru a te ajuta sa înțelegi mai bine povestirea. Ilustrațiile sunt atât de frumoase... Chiar merita mai mult de 5🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 aceasta carte...

The illustrations in this book are wonderful! José Pérez Montero is definitely a talented artist and illustrator. I can imagine myself as a child flipping through the pages just to look at the pictures.

As far as the writing goes, at times it is quite good. At other times it almost sounds AI generated, or at least a half hearted attempt. While most stories stay quite true to the bible, others are imbedded with a lot of "personal interpretation". Some of these instances are okay, other's I personally disagree with. I understand that many Christian denominations utilize the bible, and that teachings and interpretations vary, so this book isn't going to please everyone. But at it's heart, it is pretty good.

With my personal copy I'll be editing some phrases, statements, and a couple stories.

Overall, for me the writing is about three stars, while the illustrations are five stars.

Eu achei muito interessante, esse livro, as imagens, são belíssimas, retratando, as pessoas daquelas, épocas, e daqueles povos, gostaria, que fizesse uma série, ou um filme, com esse livro. No Novo Testamento, porque, tem do Velho Testamento; tem um, capítulo, da vinda do anjo Gabriel a Maria, que ela esta, dormindo, no chão, e isso, era comum, porque, os judeus daquela época, dormiam, no chão. Jesus, está incrível nesse livro, então, eu preciso dizer, que eu, fiquei muito feliz, em ler, as histórias de Jesus, que até então, eu só conhecia, na missa, mas eu achei, bem interessante. As crianças, podem conhecer, as histórias da Bíblia, com esse livro, porque a linguagem é boa, e as imagens são belas. A linguagem, não é infantil, é boa, da pra entender, e que são ótimos.

The illustrations in this are amazing. And the retelling of the stories are theologically sound. This is a great children's bible for kids in the 4-7 age range if reading aloud together. Better for 7-10 if reading alone.

I've had this book since I was 7. It's something that I've hold on and kept as a treasure ever since. Great illustrated depictions of the Bible.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I love reading different kinds of books, and I remember I was questioned by my classmate last 2015 if my bibliophile friend and I have ever read the Bible despite reading books in different genres.

I love reading different kinds of books, and I remember I was questioned by my classmate last 2015 if my bibliophile friend and I have ever read the Bible despite reading books in different genres. Well, I do. But, there are some times that I cannot comprehend the situations, which makes me feel uncomfortable.

I remember, I got rapturous when I finally bought this book! And I know I'm going to re-read this over, and over and over and over again!❤


*2ND UPDATE*
Reading this for the second time still left me with questions. To the fact that King Herod and Nebuchadnezzar died, and then appeared in the next few pages makes me wonder but, overall, I still loved how it was written and narrated. :)

This was the absolute best children's Bible that I had ever owned. It took everyday Bible stories and transformed them into understandable tales with amazing works of art! I've had this book since I was 5 years old and I had still referred back to it.

Unfortunately, I had lost the book (which is a travesty) but should I find this book again, I would definitely cherish it! ^^

It's a good, easy to understand version of the stories of the Bible. The illustrations are decent, and they are well constructed to depict the events of the stories, making the people and places more memorable to the reader.
