As a mom of young children, I am always on the lookout for ways to share Bible stories with my kids. We have many Bible storybooks, and each has merits of its own. The Read and Share Bible by Thomas Nelson is the newest addition to our Bible storybook collection. (Be sure to check the amazon link. At the time I am writing this, amazon has this Bible for a bargain!)
The Read and Share Bible contains over 200 stories from the Bible. Each story is told over two pages with vivid illustrations covering both pages. The stories are paraphrased to make them easier for children to understand, but the Biblical message is not altered. One aspect that I like about this book is that each Bible story includes a summary statement or a question to encourage discussion and application. Additionally, because there are over 200 stories, this Bible includes narratives that are often left out of other children’s Bibles (e.g., the day the sun stood still, some of the prophets, etc…). This would make a great daily reading for young children with short attention spans!
If you would like to share stories about Adam and Eve, Noah, Joseph, and many more with your young children and grandchildren, I recommend the Read and Share Bible.

I’d love to win this to give to my niece.
Oh, this looks fabulous! I am always looking for more ways to share God’s Word with my kiddos.
I would love a copy of this book to read to my 3 precious grandsons.
I like the idea of posing questions at the end of the stories. This book of kid’s bible stories sounds better (more engaging and developmentally appropriate) than the ones that I sometimes am asked to read when I take my turn teaching Sunday school to preschoolers.
My son loves reading and I’ve been starting to think of ways to introduce reading Bible related stuff to him. This looks like it would be perfect.
Sweet! I am always looking for Bibles to share with my little ones. This looks really good!
This would be wonderful for my friend’s new little one. Thank you for the chance to win!
We can always use another good bible book for the kids
I would enjoy reading this to my son.
