Thank you for sharing this! I just bought this book for my 3 year old and read a few stories like you did and I just thought it was a little different but a part of me was actually unsure if I was ok with it. I’m glad you pointed out that it’s an interpretation and at first I thought I was ok with it but you made a good point about Satan. The temptation he presented Eve with was to be like God not that she deserved to eat all the fruit and that God was holding out on her. I’m disappointed because I really wanted to like this Bible but I’m glad you pointed all this out. Thanks again for being willing to put this out there!

Honestly I’ve felt this same way with so many story bibles - including this one. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this ❤

@journeyinthehome 20 дней назад

It's something my parents were very particular about with us frowing up that I really appreciate and want to be wirh my kids too. Thanks for watching.

Thank you for sharing this! 😊 We read the actual Bible for our family devotion time and any of the Bible curriculum that we use, I read the story from my Bible instead of reading whatever paraphrase story the curriculum uses. 😊 My husband has always been very purposeful about making sure we read the actual scripture, not a story form.

@journeyinthehome 20 дней назад

It's good for parents to be careful & intentional with how we share the Bible with our kids. I don't mind Bible Stories, but I do try to be really careful that the ones we use are accurate to what the Bible actually has written.

@@journeyinthehome Yes, absolutely!

@lisaroper421 15 дней назад

Honestly, I often hesitate to buy Christian curriculum because I am worried about the same issues. If I am going to bring something in to teach my kids the Gospel, I wanna agree with it!

@journeyinthehome 15 дней назад

Yes, Biblical Curriculum needs to be well vetted before using! :)

We have this bible and we haven’t read it yet. I always thought this Bible was so overrated though from what I had looked into. I didn’t understand why it was so popular, I don’t like these points you brought up either. I completely agree with you we can’t add thoughts to it and changing it a lot and this sounds like it’s being changed or added to in many ways. Very interesting! I definitely agree. I definitely want to look at this book closer before we consider reading it. Thanks for sharing!

@journeyinthehome 20 дней назад

Haha, yeah, its hard to know why somethings becomes popular sometimes. Especially when there are so many other great options.

@machaelaailene 20 дней назад

I'm so glad you did this! I have this book but haven't opened it yet. Now I probably won't....I really like the BJU Press bible curriculum as I feel it does a good job at paraphrasing the bible while still keeping the Scriptures true.

We read through this storybook bible multiple times with my then three year old. I thought it did a great job of pointing to Jesus in every story it includes. I was especially moved by how Jesus’ anguish on the cross was portrayed, specifically when He was separated from the Father on our behalf. My husband shared similar concerns about the liberties taken in the text and we’ve since gotten rid of it.

@journeyinthehome 20 дней назад

It can be challenging to know what to use when you love parts of the way a Bible story presents things but still see too many liberties being taken in other ways. I don't think that the authors were intending to "change" the story or message of the gospel and I appreciate that they really want to relate the love of God for us clearly to children, but still...It's just not one I feel comfortable using without A LOT of discussion about what is actually stated in the Bible versus what's the interpretation the author is puting on it.

@tatyana1324 21 день назад

Wow 😲 Thank you for sharing 🙏 I agree with you 💯 Thank you again 🙏

@journeyinthehome 20 дней назад

You are so welcome. Being careful in presenting the scripture accurately to my children is something I really care about.

@katie7748 20 дней назад

"don't want to have to constantly correct what I'm reading to my child" YES!! This is why we have abandoned history curricula in our homeschool. They're all so packed with LIES that we were taught, too, so 99% of parents don't even realize it! I got so frustrated having to constantly stop and say, "actually..." or "the (real) reason why _______" every lesson. Some things were so egregiously wrong that it made me sick to my stomach to read. Also, we use a Children's Bible that I had growing up (cannot recall which one and I'm not home to go look), which simplifies and paraphrases it, but we also use the *actual* Bible to flesh it out and give context. It's all so frustrating.

@journeyinthehome 16 дней назад

If you remember the name of the Bible story you had growing up you should let me know.

@likethecolorgreen 16 дней назад

Why I don't buy children's bible books. I'll just read the bible itself 4:57

@journeyinthehome 16 дней назад

I definitely understand that. We do a mix of both. I find that my kids respond well to a simplified version of the stories, but we also read directly from the Bible with them.

@RockSimmer-gal4God 20 дней назад

We’ve not used this book!!! I do being Jesus into the Old Testament when we see it but thru discussing it!!! I understand that bible stories should be paraphrased not tell me what it is form a persons point of view!!! Our Church teaches us how to shape views from the Bible!!! I’m glad we haven’t used this book and I fully agree with ur view on this book!!! We walked out of a church who teaches like this book!!! We often read from the Bible as a family!!!

@journeyinthehome 20 дней назад

I don't think I've read that one. I'll have to check it out.

The stars were not created until the fourth day. Not, hello stars. “ In the beginning… God said “ Let there be light and there was light.” Big difference! No change. Not one jot or tittle. Thank you

@journeyinthehome 16 дней назад

It's important not to treat the Bible like just another book. God's word is not something to be light with.

There are over 450 known versions of the Bible in English alone. So finding the true Word of God won't be easy to find! Don't get baby or children's books if you want them to know God. Get a Torah with the prophets and take the time to explain it to them, don't look for the easy way out, learn it yourself first then teach them. No disrespect but your husband should be doing this as the spiritual leader of the home. As for the "Jesus Storybook Bible" goes ... Burn it!!!

@journeyinthehome 16 дней назад

My husband is involved in the spiritual development of our children. But it's a partnership that we do together.

@jtika1978 15 дней назад

My mom got this for my toddler. It’s literally blasphemous. Psalm 23 is atrocious. I do like the illustrations though. But i will be throwing it away.

@journeyinthehome 15 дней назад

It's such a bummer. I really wanted to like it...but I didn't. I do believe the authors had good intentions, though I didn't read enough to know if I think parts are blasphemous. Thankfully I picked it up for a dollar at Goodwill, so I didn't lose much.
