All the significant stories of the Old and New Testaments from Genesis to the book of Acts are retold in clear, simple language which children understand. The stories may be read as individual stories, yet they form a continuous narrative which closely follows the `one story’ of God and God’s people contained in the whole Bible.
The Lion Children’s Bible is also available in a gift edition and in paperback. Translated into 38 languages, this is the top children's Bible for both home and school.
