I Love My Bible by Debby Anderson

Ideas in this book:

The Bible is God’s book. It is the best book and it is true. It tells us about Jesus. It will last forever. It fits together though there were 40 human authors over hundreds of years. These are God’s instructions for us. We can memorize it. We can support missionaries who translate it. We can read it anytime and anywhere. We can obey it.

What is commendable:

This book communicates much truth about the Bible in a straightforward manner and examples.

The number of pages with text: 21

The number of sentences per page: 2

The number of words per sentence: 15

Writing style:

The style is conversational. “God wants everyone to have His Word. But around the world, many people don’t have enough Bibles. Sometimes they take out ages to give away or copy pages to share with others.”

JESUS (Little Words Matter) by B&H Kids Editorial Staff

Ideas in this book:

The ideas are related to the birth, life, ministry, death, and resurrection of Jesus.

What is commendable:

The clear simplicity is a perfect introduction for babies age 6-12 months.

The number of pages with text: 10

Writing style:

This book has 12 words related to Jesus. Examples include, “baby (with nativity picture)”, “king (with palm Sunday picture),” and “Cross (empty cross picture with sad raccoon family onlookers).”

The ABC Bible Verse Book by Deedra Scherm

Ideas in this book:

“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.”

What is commendable:

I prefer this particular ABC Bible Verse book at least in part because of its very brightly colored illustrations. My one-year-old loves this board book.

The number of pages with text: 26

God’s Big Story for You by Our Daily Bread Ministries

The number of pages with text: 24

The number of sentences per page: 3

The number of words per sentence: 12

Writing style:

This book reads like an engaging story. “Jesus’s friends were afraid that God’s story was over, that His promises would never come true, that they would never know God’s love again. But God wasn’t done yet.”
