Bibles for Family Read-Alouds

  • The Jesus Storybook Bible (ages 2+) If you dont already have a copy, please talk to me! We recommend this as a great starter bible for littles, but the beautifully worded truths will stay with all ages into adulthood. 
  • The Big Picture Story Bible (ages 2–4) Perfect for toddlers, large pictures and simple language that tells one big story from creation to revelation. 
  • The Kingdom of God Story Bible (ages 5+) This is our family’s favorite kids bible, stunningly illustrated with discussion points at the end of every chapter. 
  • The Parables of Jesus (ages 5+) A collection of all of Jesus’ parables beautifully illustrated with excellent family discussion points. Highly recommended to cover many of Jesus’ teachings not included in standard children’s Bibles. 
  • Minno Laugh and Grow Bible (Ages 4+) Don’t let the fun characters and illustrations fool you – this Bible is packed with deep truths presented in a wonderfully accessible way for young kids. Pairs well with the minno Bible videos or excellent as a stand alone bible. 
  • The Biggest Story Bible (ages 6+) – Great for older kids familiar with basic Bible stories, this Bible is wonderful for family devotionals or diving deeper into lesser known stories from the whole bible.
