Stories About Jesus by Gwen Ellis

Stories About Jesus by Gwen Ellis is a children's book of very simple kid friendly bible stories. It's a large hard back book full of big colorful pictures. It consist of about thirteen short easy to understand stories. I read it to my 7 yr who thoroughly enjoyed it. What I really loved about it was that the stories were all presented as loving and positive. I remember trying to find a children's bible story book to read to my two oldest children when they were little, and quickly realized that the stories that were presented were presented in a very negative and scary light that little children did not need to be hearing. They told of horrific things that God supposedly did. That's not the message I wanted to send to my children about God! This book does not do that at all. It tells of many good deeds that Jesus did to help people, with God's help of course. It's a wonderful kid's book. I'm glad I chose it from BookSneeze's list of complimentary books. I would recommend it to anyone who has children.
