A unique storybook Bible: faithful to the biblical text, beautifully illustrated, and teaching young children the big picture of how God’s promises are fulfilled in Jesus.
Christian parents, rejoice! God’s Big Promises faithfully tells the big story of the Bible with theological and pastoral care, offering both parent and child a clear and vivid view of the most important storyline ever crafted. Here is the truest and most beautiful story, both simple and profound, a priceless treasure to be passed from one generation to the next.
There is no greater goal for parents or grandparents than to capture their kids’ minds and imaginations with the story of the Bible. This storybook Bible does just that, and we are thrilled that Carl and Jen have combined their skills to bring it to families everywhere.
God’s BIG Promises Bible Storybook is a wonderful early Bible storybook perfect for preschool-aged children. With its colorful and engaging illustrations, it easily captures the attention of young readers, making Bible time both fun and meaningful.
What sets this storybook apart is its emphasis on the overarching narrative of Scripture. Rather than treating each Bible story as a separate event, the book does a beautiful job of showing that all the stories—from both the Old and New Testaments—are part of one big story: God's story. It highlights the powerful truth that God makes and keeps His promises.
Each story includes small, thoughtful symbols that represent the kind of promise being fulfilled. These “promise paths” help children see how God’s faithfulness is woven through every part of the Bible. It’s a simple yet profound way to teach kids about the consistency of God’s character and His love.
Overall, God’s BIG Promises Bible Storybook is not only visually engaging but also spiritually rich. It’s a fantastic tool for helping young children begin to understand the Bible as more than a collection of stories—but as a unified message of hope, centered on God’s promises.
I teach preschool and am the Children's Ministry Director at our church. I use this Bible (along with many others) in my classroom and on Sunday mornings as well.
We just used God's Big Promises Easter story trail for a family devotion event, and will be giving away copies of the Easter book on Resurrection Sunday.
I have been impressed with books and materials provided by The Good Book for children.
Thank you for providing resources that help teach children the truths of God and His promises.
From Australia I was directed to staff in the UK by email. Staff there were always very helpful and prompt.
Ordered a lovely book from here. Would buy from this company again.
GOD'S BIG PROMISES!
:
:
The Bible says that God made Man, and Adam was his name.
So then, according to God's plan, from Adam's rib, Eve came.
And righteousness was everywhere, not one sin to confound!
Yet was freewill their right to share in ways that could astound?
Adam and Eve chose to rebel! God's will got cast away!
And so, from perfect grace, they fell, cast out to leave that day!
While God forgave their awful sin, His mercy showed as well!
That's how God's promises begin, the Gospel Truth to tell.
:
The Bible says that Abraham must one day leave his home,
So God could lead him as a lamb to places he must roam.
His faith got tested now and then through travels far and wide.
And soon, God promised yet again new blessings to decide.
Then Abraham was his new name, while Sarah was his wife.
Through both of these, God's blessings came beyond this mortal life.
And so it was that others, too, God chose in diverse ways,
And even now, God can choose you, like every saint who prays!
:
The Bible says that Christ would live and yet one day must die!
God's Son has said we must forgive, in truth, not just to try.
When crucified before a crowd, their sins He could excuse!
God's Royal Pardon was allowed, displaying God's Good News!
The Saviour, Jesus Christ, arose to live beyond the grave!
Beyond Christ's tomb, God's Good News grows, so powerful to save!
And Pentecost is perfect proof of God's big promises!
For those who trust God's Gospel Truth! To learn what grace this is!

The Gospel poem is about the illustrated Bible Stories in
the beautiful children's book called God's Big Promises!

I like The Action Bible, too, with pictures by the artist
Sergio Cariello in the expanded version that's available.

An excellent first bible for children. My grown up daughter who doesn't have time to read an actual bible yet, also concurs.
Bought in Faith that we will one day give this book to our daughter to read to our grandchildren.
A beautiful, easy-to-understand adaptation of the gospel throughout the Bible. Our almost-three-year-old is the perfect age for it.
Mr. Laferton’s Bible storybook seems to draw you to it. The hard cover is so bright and colorful. The character people look so pleasant and happy.
Every page has drawings on it from Jennifer Davison. There’s no overwhelming amount of text to read on each page, which is perfect for little people with short attention spans.
The gospel message is given throughout the book. Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection story is in place, as well as people like Paul or Peter that share the good news about Jesus to others who then believe and get baptized.
God’s Big Promises Bible Storybook is specifically designed to highlight the promises that God has made, and the promises that God has kept. Special icons on the page edge gives you a quick view of the promise category that Mr. Laferton has designated.
I would highly recommend this book to any family with young children. It’s easy to read, colorful and engaging to look at, and of course it is based off of God’s Word. This Bible Storybook will help your child learn about God starting at an early age.
I also recommend having this book available in any young children’s Sunday school room, children’s church classroom, homeschool, and/or church nursery.
I liked the Easter sticker books very much. Certainly 4 grandchildren 5- 8 enjoyed them. They were pitched just right, but their parents and l did not appreciate the strange looking goggle-eyed characters on most pages in the Bible Book. I returned it. The sticker books were full of activities and there were no pictures of big-eyed characters as in the Bible.
God’s Big Promises Bible Storybook has 45 stories from the Old Testament and 47 stories from the New Testament for 92 stories in all. The illustrations are vibrant, detailed, and engaging. Lots of colors and pictures on each page to delight the reader. The font is simple for young readers. Each story lists the corresponding Scripture right under the title.
I think what makes this Bible Storybook unique and different from any others I’ve come across are the “Promise Paths” throughout the book.
There are 6 paths and they are:
To rescue
About his people
About a good land to live in
That he will bring JOY —happiness
About a king
One big story in 20 stories
Each of these paths is color coded with corresponding emblems found throughout the book. These emblems that are shaded in the middle when God makes a promise and the shaded part turns white on the emblem when God keeps a promise.
This is a Bible storybook so expect the language to be as such. There are some direct quotes from Scripture, but this is obviously not Scripture. Yet I still think Bible storybooks have their place with discipling our children. This book would be great for younger kids, ages 1-6. My children are on the older end of this, but still enjoy reading through the stories and looking at the beautiful illustrations.
