Books with title The Bible for Children

The children's Bible loved by generations of families!This beloved edition of the world’s greatest book, beautifully illustrated and written in a clear, simple style for children, has been approved by an editorial board consisting of leaders from the Protestant, Catholic, and Jewish faiths. It consists of six parts: parts one through four drawn from the Old Testament, parts five and six from the New Testament. Each page is alive with stories of every sort of people, their words and deeds, and notated with the books of the Bible they are taken from. . . a perfect introduction to the Bible for young people.

The Children's Bible provides, in simple English, a translation of selections from both the Old and the New Testament. These selections have been made as a result of more than 25 years of observation and study. The text is that of the Bible itself, but in the language of a child, so that it may easily be read to younger children and read by those who are older. The immortal stories and songs of the Old and New Testaments are a child's richest inheritance from the past. To give children this heritage in language and form that they can understand and enjoy is the duty and privilege of their parents and teachers.

This new devotional in The One Year line for families with children ages 5–8 combines beautiful four-color illustrations with skilled writing from best-selling author Gil Beers. Every day’s reading features a three-part discussion section: “Remember” (to recall factual information); “Discover” (to learn a lesson that relates to today); and “Apply” (to apply to the child’s own situation). This is a format that Gil Beers established in the full-text edition, The Bible for Children. Classic Bible art from that project is reused in this edition.

A classic treasure that vividly captures the eternal theme of God’s unending love and the many people and occasions that fill the Old and New Testaments. The Bible for Children contains more than 200 Bible stories, retold by playwright and filmmaker Murray Watts and elegantly illustrated by beloved artist, Helen Cann. The stories comprehensively cover key themes of the Bible; they are faithful to the meaning and spirit of the original Scripture. The imaginative style reflects the variety of the biblical text—riveting stories, reporting, poetry, history, letters. The Bible for Children is a visual delight, filled with illustrations that add meaning to the stories. The rich color, the exquisitely drawn faces and settings draw readers into the emotion and power of all that happens. This book for 7-12 year-olds has the design and drama of a modern classic. Author Murray Watts has written many books and plays. He has also directed and produced for the theater and for film, radio, and television. Helen Cann is an experienced illustrator of books for children, including several that deal with ancient stories. Her art has been widely exhibited and can be found in private collections in the United States and Europe.
