Epic: The Story that Changed the World

When I used to work in a Christian bookstore, I noticed that many of the storybook type Bibles were created for much younger kids. These types of Bibles are great to introduce children to the stories of the Bible without overwhelming them with words they don't understand and chapters that go over their head. However, as kids get older, there seems to be a lack of materials to help them bridge the gap between children's story Bibles and the actual Bible. Epic: The Story that Changed the World is an excellent resource for kids who have grown beyond the preschool story Bibles, but who aren't quite ready to read the entire Bible on their own. 

This Bible contains forty stories illustrated in an engaging and exciting way. Each chapter contains a question meant to prompt kids to consider how the story applies to their personal life. Further, this Bible was written with the purpose of demonstrating that the entire Bible is one story. Each piece is connected, from the creation to the revelation. 

Although this Bible is for "middle-grade" readers, it seems a bit young for most middle-school aged children. I think that this would be an excellent book for kids between the ages of 6 and 10. I also would highly recommend that the stories in this are used as a supplement to the actual stories in the Bible. It would be a wonderful resource for parents who want to make the Bible more accessible for their kiddos! 

You can purchase the book here, or at your local LifeWay Bookstore!
