go out and buy this today!

this is the best bible storybook i have seen yet... my mom read about it on somebody's blog, and she couldn't help but order a copy for ethan. and now i know why! the jesus storybook bible is full of truths that christian parents long to pass on to their children, not just facts about commonly heard bible stories. from the beginning, you read of our need for a Savior and God's amazing grace! starting with creation, the person of Jesus Christ is presented in every story, and this book includes "unlikely bible story book stories" like genesis 3 and revelation. brian was so happy to see that it did not go from the garden of eden straight to noah's ark and skip right over the truth of the fall of man...ethan's typical toddler bible story book does just that! here is my favorite excerpt from the book so far....

(from the story of genesis 3)
"you see, God knew if they ate the fruit, they would think they didn't need Him. and they would try to make themselves happy without Him. but God knew there was no such thing as happiness without Him, and life without Him wouldn't be life at all."

isn't that great? i love it. i haven't read through the whole book yet, but i'm confident in my recommendation. go out and buy this book...even if you don't have kids. you'll be so glad you did.

(ok, after i wrote this post, i visited girl talk, only to find that they had just reviewed this story book! so see, i'm not the only one who loves this book! check out their review, too.)
