What is this book about?

​

The Wonder Bible Storybook introduces children to twelve key Bible stories through simple retellings, beautiful illustrations, and questions to help them think about what they have learned. It includes stories from both the Old and New Testaments, helping children meet important Bible characters and discover God's work throughout Scripture.

​

Each story encourages children to wonder, ask questions, and connect the Bible story to their own lives.

Why we recommend it

 

This is a lovely first Bible storybook for young children. It was given to our children at their Baptism.

​

What makes it different is that it does not just tell the story and move on. The questions at the end encourage children to think about what the story teaches us about God, faith, and how we live.

​

The short stories are a good length for young children, making it easy to use during bedtime, family devotions, or quiet reading time. It is a helpful stepping stone between individual Bible story books and longer children's Bibles.

Main lessons & themes

​​

• God is faithful throughout history

​

Faith Focus

 

This book helps children begin to see that the Bible is not just a collection of separate stories, but one story about God's relationship with His people.

​

As children meet different characters, they can learn that God works through ordinary people, keeps His promises, and invites us to trust Him.

​

The questions included after each story provide a natural opportunity for parents to move from “What happened?” to “What does this teach us about God?”

​

Bible connection:

​​

• 2 Timothy 3:15 — The Scriptures make us wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus

• Romans 15:4 — The Scriptures were written to teach and encourage us

• Luke 24:27 — Jesus explained how the Scriptures point to Him

​

​​

• What happened in this Bible story?
