Review:

This book is aimed at kids ages 4-11. so it is perfect for combined bible study programs, or for family reading. It's ahrd to believe this is Rev. Grahams FIRST storybook! You would have thought he would have published at least 3 or 4 by now! The 60 bible stories are taken from the NKJV Bible text, and are short and include lovely illustrations, as you can see, along with Rev. Graham's thoughts and a devotion that you and your child can take from the reading, and put into practice.

I love how Rev Graham doesn't talk down to kids in these devotions. You can hear him actually giving them a sermon lesson instead. By asking them to see the bible in a larger perspective, he is starting them on the way to understand how it will always be a resource for their lives. Through out the book he reiterates God's forgiveness and grace, and his final closing letter is one you will want to treasure. 

This is a lovely book, perfect for gift giving, with the holiday season upon us!
