On our daughter's baptism four years ago, we gave her this wonderful book which she still often chooses for her night-time story, even though she is a big girl now. The editors have presented biblical stories that are of most interest to the youngest children. The illustrations are charmingly simple and include details that a child will enjoy picking out. The text is brilliantly cast in the first person ("Hi. I'm Noah. God told me to build a big boat . . .) so that the book "speaks" to your child in a personal way. It is successfully designed to appeal to a child's native interest in a good story as a "first step" into the Bible. Because it is so engaging, this bible comes off the shelf often as a well-loved storybook.

I reviewed a lot of bibles before selecting this one and have bought it many times for other children. My daughter is now familiar with the major figures of the bible and has heard many positive messages through our reading and rereading of this book. Because the stories are short and sweet, we can easily stretch or shrink the bedtime reading to suit our needs. Most importantly, our child has been given a way to talk about religion and morality--a dialogue, I think, many parents have trouble knowing just how to start.

Incidentally, because the book is aimed at the 3-and-under set, you won't have to worry about the crucifixion--it gets glossed over in a clever way. Likewise, Lazarus isn't "dead," but in a "dark place" when Jesus calls him out. We get the message without confronting death head on.

My daugher is three and we've been through several devotional books, but this is our favorite by far. The illustrations are great. The stories are simple, interesting, and have several pages devoted to each story. I'm buying in for my two-year-old niece and I think she'll like it as well.

I searched a while before purchasing a Bible for my 2 year old son. He loved this one from the beginning. It is his favorite book right now. I liked it because of the 10 word per page limit. The characters are big, expressive and colorful. The essence of the story is captured in a way a toddler can relate. Hands down, it's the best way to introduce Bible characters to your children.

I'm one of three teachers for 2nd & 3rd graders and I teach the "Christian Youth Praising Christ" class for our church. I just love this Praise Bible, the stories are short, accurate & to the point. The pictures are very colorful (just what children like) and our children are learning to pray with the help of the "praise prayers" shown after each bible story. Our children really enjoyed the bible stories & the pictures. I highly recommend this bible to all children.

First came The Beginner's Bible in 1989 that sold more than 2.5 million copies, also illustrated by Dennas Davis. It was a break through for children with illustrations and fast paced text. Now, The Praise Bible, also illustrated by Dennas Davis, combines a fun illustration style taking kids into the 21st century, with fast paced and biblically accurate story text.

The part we like best, is how each story is summarized at the end in a contemporary scene, that applies the truth of the story in a way that children understand. And, it helps children have a positive attitude about the Bible, since each story is up-beat and ends with a focus on thankfulness to God.

Anyone who opens up The Praise Bible to the story about "The Seed and the Soil" will immediatly see how the illustrator is able to teach the story so well with his fantastic art work - and then when the art is combined with the story - it truly is a master piece.

I highly recommend it for children from ages 3 to 7, and believe it is also simple enough for even college professors to understand!

This is my 7-year olds indispensable Scriptures. He loves it. Your child will too. The bright, vibrant artwork of Dennas Davis coupled with Mack's retelling of favorite Bible stories is wonderful. For children raised on VeggieTales and Nickleodeon, this is their Bible!

I highly recommend this to Christian families! The devotions are short but have a lot of impact. I do these with my 3 year old son every morning and he is able to share the salvation story all on his own. I know it will be a book that he can use over and over again as he grows and each time gain something new. Super book!

Over the past year we have used this book for family devotions after our evening meal. I have used it with my daughters between the ages of 4 and 8. It's especially good with children who are familiar with all the Sunday School Bible stories and want something a bit different. The book covers unusual passages and unusual subjects with a 3-day theme, e.g. Palm trees in the Bible. It frequently provokes interesting discussion. I'm now looking for another book like it!

I have used this with my daughters (4-8yrs old) and found it very good for a simple family devotional. It uses 3-day themes and remains interesting and unusual even to children who are familiar with Sunday School Bible stories. It doesn't avoid difficult passages or different subjects, yet just draws simple lessons from them. It doesn't contain any cultural references, so could be used in any country, and doesn't assume any worldliness on the part of the children. I'm now looking for another book like it!

An excellent book, full of stories that lead children into a more intimate understanding of God, God's creation, and how he interacts in our (their) daily lives. A true inspiration!

"The Bible Tells Me So" is an excellent outline of the bible presented in a storytelling format. It introduces the books of the bible in a very orderly and understandable fashion for children ages 5-10. I'm looking for another copy to give to a friend!

This book was first printed in 1928, well after the trade first put on climbers. Since it's first printing it has been THE textbook for the lineman's trade. It has been used in virtually every apprentice program and was the companion of self taught linehands from the '30s on. Frequently updated, it remains the one place a linehand, beginner to veteran, can go for help. It has progressed with the technology of the trade, the regulations and codes, the materials, and the processes for doing very dangerous work in well thought out procedures that enable electric customers to maintain their service and even be unaware of the work of the power lineman.

This book is THE comprehensive guide that no Line man should be without. It is also an excellent source of information for anyone working with distribution and/or transmission system operation, construction, and maintenance.

I am not ready to introduce my toddlers to the more violent aspects of the bible, and this book skirts them nicely. I like theses short stories which provide an easy platform for talking about God's promises and grace. ...

I love this book! I've been reading all or part of it to my 3-year-old daughter every day lately, and we don't get tired of it! Mack Thomas takes five loved parables, like the Prodigal Son, Wise and Foolish Builders, and the Lost Penny, and incorporates them all together in a narrative that follows the shepherd through his search for his one sheep that wandered off. It brings the Bible stories down to kids' levels in an exceptional way, and I almost cry every time he finds his lamb at the end. I'm buying extra copies to give as gifts.

This is a great book for children. Our children loved it! Itshows how a family moving out west is caught between two differentIndian tribes, one of which has a legend about how someone would come someday to show them the way to God. In short, one tribe finds Christ as a result of the Bannons evangelism. Great questions at the end of each chapter.

I used this book as a reference for a project I needed to do on splicing. I found the information contained was concise and clear. The book covers a wide variety of subjects that are very relevant to the jobs that a lineman and cableman would need to perform everyday.

I bought this book for a friend who graduated high school andwas planning on going onto bible school. I knew he would be facingmany challenges and needed the wisdom only Solomon could provide. I have since found out (after his graduation from bible school) that this book has helped him and his friend make it through the rough times they went through as students. He told of many a times how they ran to the refuge that only their new found friend Marble could provide. The book has since been misplaced and the two went through their final semester without the wisdom and guidance of Marble. Both agree, it was hard. They tried alternatives, but none seemed to do the trick. I recommend this book not only as a tool of wisdom for little kids, but also a vital lifeboat for big kids!
