You might’ve seen SuperChef Darnell Ferguson on Food Network, hosting, guest starring, and even cooking in the Beijing Olympics, dazzling people with his culinary abilities. But Darnell didn’t always know he wanted to be a chef, in fact it wasn’t until a teacher spoke life into him and he found an unexpected home in the church, that he realized God had given him this “superpower” to be a force for good in the lives of other kids who might have the same love for cooking, too. Jago’s drawings of the scene moved me to tears. I can only imagine what it will be like to sit with the book open to this scene, a child at my side, and try to read it aloud. The theme of the terrible lie [of sin]—which has everything to do with ‘we don’t need to be saved’ or ‘I can save myself’—was carried pretty well,” he said. The book shows “plenty of consequence to sin, plenty to build on as you take your kiddo through other resources.”

The students say, ‘This is a better way to understand than I’ve ever seen,” he said. “You wouldn’t believe how many master’s students—MDiv students—say, ‘I use this to help me remember the storyline.’ Over the years—countless.” Building the Church All Over the World Wherever I am, God is going to be there. And I will be given what I need from Him to meet the challenges of a place. And all I need to do is stay in the day and do what God has given me to do on that particular day and have joy in that.” - Melanie Penn Written for children ages four and up, The Jesus Storybook Bible tells the one story underneath all the stories of the Bible and points to the birth of a child, the Rescuer, Jesus.

In Jeremiah 29:11, God reminds us that He has extraordinary plans for each and every one of us.

She listened to the sermons of Tim Keller and Martin Lloyd-Jones—“No relation; it’s a fairly common name in Wales”—and took a course on progressive revelation, the idea that God reveals himself in Scripture to humanity over time.

The Jesus Storybook Bible: Every Story Whispers His Name disproves the adage that you can’t judge a book by its cover. When I was 6, I went to a Sunday school where I got the idea that it was all rules and coloring inside the lines,” she said. “I hated it. I remember walking to church holding my dad’s hand, and from the outside we looked lovely, but inside I was making a vow that when I grew up, I was never going to church again.” Then, about five years ago, a director at Zondervan told Lloyd-Jones he was sorry for the resistance they put up. “He said, ‘I need to apologize to you, because you knew what we had before we did,’” Lloyd-Jones said. “I thought that was an incredible thing. I don’t know any publishers who do that.”The book is aimed at children younger than 8 years old, but Lloyd-Jones said she began to think the book was going to do really well when “it seemed to be fathers who loved it.” Children aged from 4 upwards will understand and love the stories shared with them by a grown up reader, and children from 6 upwards will be able to read the straightforward words and sentences for themselves. Even the youngest will be drawn in by the bright and bold pictures of award winning children's artist and native of Cornwall, Jago. We were overjoyed that someone had taken the theology they heard in Tim’s sermons and produced a work of art,” she said. “People grow through what you’re feeding them, and to see what Tim had been saying processed and incarnated in a children’s book made us so happy. . . . I bought 40 of them and handed them out to anyone who would sit still long enough.”

Now, I don't think that we should abandon The Jesus Storybook Bible. I mean, you don't need to have it, absolutely no need for you to have it. I think scripture is sufficient, but if you have a Jesus Storybook Bible in your home or your church in your school, I don't think you need to abandon it or get rid of it or think that it's a terrible resource. I believe that God is on my side and that this abundant God who knows all the songs that have ever or will ever be written, that same God is just delighted to give a song to one of His children.” - Melanie PennYes, above all, it's missing the complete gospel message, sin, redemption through Christ, transformation by the Holy Spirit, glorification.

Guthrie was one of them. He began including The Jesus Storybook Bible in a required class on educational ministry at TEDS.Sometimes she does this with startling insight: Her take on the story of Leah and Rachel is an ancient reading of the text that points straight to the gospel and the doctrine of election. Her telling of the woman’s anointing of Jesus in Simon’s home in Luke 7 connects her act of adoration with Samuel’s anointing of David in 1 Samuel. What I think that is wise for us to do is to read the Jesus story book Bible in conjunction with scripture. Now, when I was teaching, I was teaching kids a little bit older. I was teaching third graders, so most of them were eight or nine. And what I would do sometimes is I would read a story from the Jesus story book Bible in my classroom. And after I had read that, then I would have the kids go dive into the text of scripture and actually read that account in scripture. And then what we do is we would come up a list of what are some of the things that the author in The Jesus Storybook Bible got? What are some of the things that align with exactly what God has revealed in his word? And then what are some of the things that deviate from it? What are some of the things that were mentioned that were not mentioned in scripture? Or what are some of the things that are mentioned in scripture that were not mentioned in the story?
