My Review

The Spirit of God Illustrated Bible is perfect for young children. The Bible stories are told in a simple way with colorful illustrations. Even very young children will be able to follow along as you read the stories aloud.

This book is not the entire Bible illustrated for children but 40 specific stories where God’s Spirit moved among his people. The stories that the author chose are mostly very familiar stories though some may be new to your children. This makes a great teaching tool, and you’ll be able to share your own experiences where God’s Spirit has moved in your life.
