“Families need the Bible more than ever. This A+ version for kids will capture their imaginations and call their hearts to the Father. And I’m confident The Biggest Story Bible Storybook will do the same for any parent who reads these beautifully illustrated pages out loud to their children.”
Dennis and Barbara Rainey, Cofounders, FamilyLife
“As parents, we want to teach our children about the Bible, but sometimes it’s intimidating to know where or how to begin. Kevin DeYoung’s new book The Biggest Story Bible Storybook is a wonderful way to introduce children to individual stories of the Bible while helping them grasp the main storyline of Scripture. It’s beautifully illustrated, fun to read, and will help parents teach big truths to young hearts.”
Melissa B. Kruger, author; Vice President of Discipleship Programming, The Gospel Coalition
“Magnificent. With typical clarity and verve, Kevin DeYoung captures the wonder of the greatest story ever told. My children are going to have a hard time reading it, though, because their dad will keep stealing it to read himself.”
Matt Smethurst, Planting Pastor, River City Baptist Church, Richmond, Virginia; Managing Editor, The Gospel Coalition; author, Deacons and Before You Open Your Bible
“Through rich, understandable narratives and striking illustrations, The Biggest Story Bible Storybook captures children with something even more beautiful than this book—the story of redemption. Kids are going to scoot in close to see and hear what’s next in this captivating retelling of Scripture. I know this will bless many families with a deeper understanding of the Bible.”
Emily A. Jensen, coauthor, Gospel Mom and Risen Motherhood
“The Bible tells a big story that may seem overwhelming for children. A parent or teacher like me might be tempted to tame lessons to familiar narratives and morals. In The Biggest Story Bible Storybook, Kevin DeYoung helps us to see that Scripture can be generously fed to children. The big story of Scripture is not too big for kids! DeYoung offers 104 spectacularly illustrated chapters that stretch from Genesis to Revelation. The book shines for its ability to transform meaty theological concepts into digestible milk children can recognize and enjoy. My children were eager to listen, laugh, and learn Bible stories that fit together to point us to Jesus!”
Nana Dolce, author, You Are Redeemed and The Seed of the Woman
“Kevin DeYoung keeps our attention. This is high praise for a family of four boys ages five to fifteen. We love how he tells well-known stories in new yet faithful ways. The rare gems of this book, however, are the lesser-known stories. DeYoung does not skip the smaller stories in the Bible but carefully places each in the bigger story of God’s salvation. I am thankful for this addition to our picture Bible collection!”
Irene Sun, author, God Counts: Numbers in His Word and His World
“It’s beautifully illustrated, fun to read, and will help parents teach big truths to young hearts.”
