God's Stories as told by God's Children

A children's Bible that takes its scholarship as seriously as its storytelling. Featuring the voices of 55 biblical scholars, theologians, and storytellers from around the world, God's Stories as told by God's Children is a beautifully illustrated storybook Bible that integrates biblical scholarship into engaging storytelling. A library, not a book. A conversation, not a monologue. A collection of wisdom, not rules. With no doctrinal agenda, no theological skulduggery, and no insidiously damaging interpretations your child will spend decades deconstructing, God's Stories is designed to help children and their grownups love the Bible for what it is: a collection of ancient, complex, endlessly fascinating texts spanning millennia and incorporating many voices. But we couldn't do it alone. Because to showcase the Bible's many voices, we needed to include many voices. So we invited some of our friends to help us tell these stories well. To honor the narrative wrinkles and weird bits. To lean into the things that don't make sense and embrace the questions. To gently introduce children to the stories behind the biblical stories. Radically inclusive, informed by the best in biblical scholarship, and deeply respectful of children's imagination and intelligence, God's Stories as told by God's Children is the storybook Bible you'll wish you had when you were a kid.
