Gospel Centered...bible

That last post reminded me of my new favorite purchase: The Jesus Storybook Bible.


I love the subtitle:  
Every story whispers His name

Seriously, every story in here, Old Testament and New, ends with with a gospel-centered approach.  Each story points to Christ and God's ultimate plan.  For example in the story of Jonah, the last few sentences say:

The people of Nineveh listen to Jonah, and they started loving God.  They learned to do what God said and to stop running away from him -- just like Jonah.  

Many years later, God was going to send another Messenger with the same wonderful message.  Like Jonah, he would spend three nights in utter darkness.  

But this Messenger would be God's own Son.  He would be called "The Word" because he himself would be God's Message.  God's Message translated into their own language.  Everything God wanted to say to the whole world -- in a Person.

Buy this for your current or future children! :)
