This is the first Bible that every child in our house has read from cover-to-cover!
We first found this Bible in a used book sale, in black & white, 7 children ago (so you can imagine that covers and pages and chapters are now missing) -- and then we found this updated version that's better than ever and in color!
We've found that our experience is not unique! One reviewer shared, "I purchased this for our Catholic school library, and I cannot keep it in the room! As soon as the children saw it, they wanted it." Another satisfied customer shared, "This Bible has hardly been put down since it arrived. Our 9-year-old son is devouring it, and it makes this momma heart so happy!" This overwhelming response speaks volumes about the power of this Bible to captivate young minds and instill excitement about reading and discovering the Word of God.
Unlike traditional Bibles that often segregate stories, the Picture Bible seamlessly weaves together 233 Bible stories into narratives, creating a continuous and engaging reading experience. Another reviewer expressed, "I can see how this Bible will be engaging and encourage a child to 'read on' more than they might with a traditional Bible or one that keeps stories more segregated." This unique approach fosters a deep understanding of the interconnectedness of Scripture and inspires children to explore further. With Scripture citations for every story -- there simply is no better way to introduce your children to God's plan through the story that He has deemed so important that He inspired it to be written down.
Even Archbishop Fulton Sheen (soon to be beatified!) recommended this Bible, saying, "This Picture Bible for all ages is an excellent introduction to those who do not know the Bible and an excellent review for those who do.
Now updated with interesting new features, including "Did you know?" fact pages, time line, story listing, maps, and more, kids will love the great stories and action pictures of the newly revised Picture Bible. God's Word will come alive for hours of family reading enjoyment. Newly designed with a fresh cover, text, and maps, this Scripture makes an ideal first Bible for young readers. Children can follow the colorful pictures and storyline and engage their imaginations as they discover the story of God's love revealed.

from 6145 reviewsBeautifully constructed- sturdy! Can’t wait to hand them out to my Bible study group. What a wonderful way to honor our beloved souls!
I try to introduce a saint during each class and if a child remembers to bring their folder back each week they get a sticker on their folder. With All Saints Day coming up they contribute to the children knowing more saints. I think it's so important for them to become familiar with the saints and their lives. I know they help me.
I’ve done the indulgences the last two years. Having the cards make it so much easier. Thank you .Last year I had trouble remembering which day was for which person. I ended up placing that decision in God’s hands.
This is Grandpa's 1st Christmas in Heaven. I will be traveling to be with my Grandchildren this Christmas. The Grandchildren need to hear about the Great love of Our Father who "sets a banquet for us". Jesus said he went to "prepare a place for us", he also said "Eye has not seen & Ear has not heard what God has ready for those who Love Him". This year i will be reading this to them! Thank you!
Interesting and well written. I love these books, which give us insight into traditions all over the world, while helping to educate us on complex Catholic concepts. Bought a complete set for my church!
Love them! ;)
Fine
Am going to share with my granddaughter so she'll know to pray for me.
This is a wonderful idea!!
I purchased a pack to give to our senior altar boys. The reception, so far, has been moderately acceptable. I expect more of a response as they have an opportunity to examine them in private, especially as we get closer to All Souls Day.
Beautifully arranged and explained images, even for very young children! My three year old will pore over this book, up close and personal, for ten minutes! It doesn't sound like a long time, but very impressive for his attention span. Thank you, Holy Heroes!!!
Getting ready for All Saints/Souls days!! As St Padre Pio would say, "We got souls to get out of Purgatory". We are the Church Militant. Let's get to it!
Although this scorecard is a marvelous teaching aid for kids, I was happy to buy the two pack so my adult sister and I could use it to do the First Five Saturdays at the same time. (This way, I don't have to keep reminding her about the steps.) :)
These cards are an invaluable teaching aid, for young people, as well as adults!
Beautifully done and convenient reminders of our duty to pray for the Holy Souls in November and of the plenary indulgences available. I am giving them to my senior group at church next week.
Great format. I enjoyed reading it myself.I think my grandsons will like it too. The pictures are well done.
The book is more than I expected. It gives a simple story of the Bible. I will read it and set it aside for my four year old great grandson. I plan to read it to him.
Thank you and God bless you 🙏🏻
I have looked over and read a good portion of this Bible and am hoping to use it as "homework" for my CCD class this year. I have taught older kids before and have given them a St. Joseph Bible. This year I will have 3rd and 4th graders in a combined class and thought discussing weekly assigned readings from the picture Bible might be a good way to combine discussion with the two different age levels, and include more participation by parents. Will let you know if this is a success after classes start in the fall.
This was the exact same Bible that I had received one Easter as a elementary school kid and now I get to buy one for my two children going through Faith Formation at our parish!
This is very nice book purchased as a gift for a 9 year-old and should be very appealing to the recipient as well as educational. Stories are abbreviated and include brief summaries. There are explanations throughout that provide information not easily included in the picture stories.
I would recommend this bible to others. I already suggested it to our teachers.
