Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.

The Big Picture Story Bible - Review

The Big Picture Story Bible

We received The Big Picture Story Bible last year as a gift from our pastor in Las Vegas and it has turned out to be one of the best gifts for our family. Every morning at breakfast, I read a chapter to the kids and they always BEG for me to read more. This isn't like any other children's Bible we've seen. The author, David Helm, does a wonderful job of showing children that the Bible isn't just a collection of stories, but the one very important true story of God's big promise. The illustrations by Gail Schoonmaker are so vivid and captivating, my children enjoy every page. I highly recommend this book if you are a parent or teacher of young children. You will not be disappointed!

You download it all at once, no monthly subscription or hidden fees. Just click on this link for details. Just fyi, it downloads in two parts and each part takes a good while to download. I've been doing the book lessons with Ella and she's excited to try the computer lessons. I'll let you know how it goes.
