BOOK DESCRIPTION

Catherine Vos’ Child’s Story Bible combines qualities which are not generally found together: she appeals to the interest and imagination of children without sacrificing fidelity to the text of Scripture; she uses the stories to impress great doctrinal truths, uniting the element of enjoyment with instruction; and she takes the sombre warning passages of the word of God as well as those which call for admiration and trust in the Saviour around whom children once gathered upon earth.

• Written by Catherine F. Vos: The unfolding story of the Bible told faithfully by Catherine F. Vos, who was the wife of theologian and exegete Dr. Geerhardus Vos and an author in her own right.
• Single volume spanning the whole Bible: Originally published in three volumes, this beautiful clothbound hardback includes both the Old and New Testament stories in one volume.
• Twenty-six full-colour illustrations: Rich, colourful artwork by Neil McArdle will keep your children engaged and draw them into the unfolding story of Scripture. Readers will be interested to know there are no images of Christ in the book.
• Excellent for a range of ages: Suitable to be read to children aged 3 and up, while children 7+ will be able to read by themselves. It’s also suitable for adults who wish to refresh their knowledge of the overarching narrative of the biblical story of redemption.
• Made to last a lifetime: The smyth-sewn binding and clothbound cover are complemented by a silk ribbon page marker.

Endorsements

‘Time and again over the years The Child’s Story Bible provided the timeline for our family worship. The flow of biblical history outlined by Catherine Vos with the biblical narrative gave our children an understanding of the history of God’s redemptive purposes. The stories of David and Goliath, Daniel and the lion’s den, Joshua and Caleb spying out the Promised Land, these and more, were no longer disconnected Sunday School lessons but part of the history of God’s people. Our sons and daughters began to know they were the latest in a long line of saints in whose lives the God of history was working out his saving purposes.’ — JOAN KINGSWOOD

‘We used The Child’s Story Bible as part of our family worship with our three adopted Ugandan boys while we lived in Africa. The Bible stories were very simple to understand especially since the boys were learning English at the time and we found them to be the most faithful to the biblical narratives. I only wish I had known of them when my older children were young!’ — KATHLEEN CURTO
