“The Biggest Story”….Ever Told!! (Book Review) 12

Review of “The Biggest Story” Book by Kevin DeYoung

I received a copy of “The Biggest Story” Book by Kevin DeYoung from FlyByPromotions, and couldn’t wait to start reading.  The illustrations alone, make you want to dive in and see what the book is about.

I started reading and felt that I was watching a play.  You get a picture to go with the words and it really makes the story open up to you.  I loved that it was written in a way, that you could read it to your little ones, or when they get older, read it by themselves.  It’s always great to hear the story of the bible in another way.  All of them go by the same true information, but seeing someone else’s perspective on the stories, is always fun.

This is definitely a book that can be passed down to new generations and enjoyed by all.  Just like the bible itself, it will never grow old, and each time that you read it, you’ll learn something new.

I would really recommend this to any family wanting to learn more about God’s plan and purpose in our lives here on earth…until we go home to be with Him! 🙂

About The Book:

Once upon a time there lived a man and a woman. They were the happiest people on the planet.

True, they were the only people on the planet, but they were still terrifically happy.

Unfortunately, things didn’t stay happy and wonderful for long.

The Bible is full of exciting stories that fill children with awe and wonder. But kids need to know how all those classic stories connect to Scripture’s overarching message about God’s glorious plan to redeem his rebellious people.

In The Biggest Story, Kevin DeYoung—a best-selling author and father of six—leads kids and parents alike on an exciting journey through the Bible, connecting the dots from the garden of Eden to Christ’s death on the cross to the new heaven and new earth.

With powerful illustrations by award-winning artist Don Clark, this imaginative retelling of the Bible’s core message—how the Snake Crusher brings us back to the garden—will draw children into the biblical story, teaching them that God’s promises are even bigger and better than we think.
