Grouped by theme, the Bible stories in this book use simple vocabulary and large print, making it simple for children to understand the Biblical truth of the story. With its low reading level, parents will find it easy to share with preschool-age children. Many older primary-grade children will find they can read the stories themselves.
The stories include the Creation, the Garden of Eden, the birth of Baby Jesus, Daniel in the lion’s den, the Good Samaritan, God’s promise to Sarah, show more Moses, David and Goliath, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, Jonah, the widow’s mite, the prodigal son, King Solomon, the golden calf, praying, love for others, and many more.
Lavishly illustrated with Sam Butcher’s unique Precious Moments drawings, the book is a treat for the eyes as well as for the soul and is sure to become a favorite of both children and their parents.

First of all, the pictures are classic Precious Moment people and pets. Some are in color, some in black and white, some take up a lot of room, some take up little space and sometimes, there is aIn the beginning, it was a bit typical, but quickly grew odder. I can't say more for few of giving away what happens. Just when you think you are figuring out what is happening and such, the author throws in another curve ball that you couldn't have really seen coming. The emotions are real and at show more times, so raw, you find yourself wanting to distance yourself. That is how well the author envelops the reader into the book. Despite the various heart-wrenching moments, I highly recommend this book. Just have a box of tissues or someone to hug near by! You'll need them as you learn some important lessons we all seem to forget. bit between the pictures. However, there is more than enough to appease any Precious Moments fan. Also, the stories are short and to the point, which is a good thing. No big words are used, just simple, plain language.
