Author Ralph Milton gives us a fresh, contemporary collection of Bible stories for children and families, containing more than five hundred colorful illustrations, and featuring stories about women and men from throughout the Bible. Since it's publication in 1997 it has become a best-selling classic in family literature.
From its first publication, The Family Story Bible has held a special place among childrens Bibles. Its use of inclusive language for God, its emphasis on stories that depict a God of love, its commitment to telling the stories of the women as well as the men in the Bible, its positive and life-affirming tone all of these things have made The Family Story Bible a modern classic of childrens religious literature. Every bit as marvellous as the text by Ralph Milton, Margaret Kyles art bright and colourful, full of wonder and joy pulls it all together and helps bring the stories to life in the imaginations of children and adults alike
