"Years ago, nearly every family (Christian or not), had a large illustrated family Bible on their coffee table. It was held in high esteem because it was beautiful and ornate, but also because most families recognized the cultural value of the Bible, even if they did not personally believe or obey it. I can't help but think God's Story is a contemporary version of these older family Bibles. It is beautifully illustrated and gives an overview of the story of God's word in an easy to understand format. This is the kind of resource I will want to display in my living room, for guests to flip through (it would also be wonderful in an office waiting room!). But unlike most coffee table books, God's Story tells the true story of redemption and salvation through the gospel of Jesus Christ. This is a great resource to read aloud to your children, or gift to your grandchildren. It is a great resource for both churches and families. I look forward to seeing how God will use this unique resource in the lives of thousands as they come to know Him better."

My favorite part is the Threads of Hope section that is included throughout that help tie everything together and help you to see the big picture of God’s story.
Not only is it a great resource to use in a family devotional setting, I am excited to see that it can also be used as a homeschooling resource alongside the Language Lessons for a Living Education series, currently levels 3-5.
I think this book is a blessing to anyone who picks it up and also a great gift to pass along to family and friends.
I love the way the author included simple summaries for younger children. This makes the book usable for a variety of ages. When reading it with my 3-year-old, I can show her the pictures and read the simple summary, and this is more likely to keep her attention. However, my older children can easily pick this up from the shelf and read the full text for themselves, fully able to appreciate it. This is a wonderful feature for families that have multiple children. I also think it would make a nice gift.
The book itself is rooted in scripture. The scripture reference for each story is listed at the end of each lesson. This is a beautiful retelling that helps children to understand God’s Word, from creation all the way to Revelation The message of God’s love and His plan for our salvation is clearly laid out for the reader. I also really like the Threads of Hope pages throughout that tie the stories together and cover vocabulary words. The timelines and maps are also a unique addition to this book. These are helpful to provide context and better understanding of the events that are discussed.
Overall, I’m really impressed with this book and would recommend it to anyone looking for a Bible story book for children.
As a mom reading it, I was blessed by the insights given throughout that I hadn’t considered before. The “Thread of Hope” pages are rich with keen observations drawing out the themes of the stories, showing how they point to Jesus. I think my very favorite part of the book is the timeline of Israel and Judah’s kings along with the prophets and “fast facts” about each prophet’s name and message. The maps are great and I really appreciate the chart contrasting Genesis and Revelation (such as “Ground is cursed, Genesis 3:17” and “Curse is done away with, Revelation 22:3”). This book will be a blessing to those of every age and reading level!
