Oh, How God Loves Us!: A Bible Story Book

This Bible Story Book has a specific purpose. We realize that God wants children to learn about Him very early on and to get the word of God in their hearts (Deuteronomy 6:6-9; Ephesians 6:4). We hope that this book will help parents, grandparents, Bible class teachers, and all involved in teaching children to learn the accounts of scripture that have been taught for centuries. Every generation must be taught these familiar stories again and again. We could have chosen any number of stories from scripture, but we tried to select the stories that we felt would help young readers get an overall grasp of the Bible. These are not word-for-word retellings of the stories but are summaries that we believe are true to Scripture and easy for young minds to digest. We use the word story, not in the fictional sense, but to refer to an actual historical account. We attempted to include familiar stories, which are well-known and also lesser-known stories that are vital to our understanding of the God who loves us so much. As readers come away from this book, we hope that the stories and pictures accompanying them will stay in your hearts. We hope that you will come back to this book, again and again, to be reminded of the God who loves us so much and that ultimately you and those you read this to will love Him back (1 John 4:19)!
