With whimsical illustrations and engaging storytelling, The Tiny Truths  Illustrated Biblepresents all your favorite stories and diversely represented characters from the Old and New Testaments.

Uniquely presented in a way that connects each individual story to the next, this book introduces children to the most important ideas and characters of the Bible while also making clear how everything fits together to tell one big story––the story of God’s love for his children.

The Tiny Truths Illustrated Bible will help your children discover:
Who God is––the one who made everything and everyone
Who we are––his children, whom he loves unconditionally
What we were made for––to love God and everyone else
Introduce your children to the incredible story of God’s enormous love for them with The Tiny Truths Illustrated Bible! This book’s bright and engaging cover has a unique feel and pops off the page with debossing.


My thoughts: THE TINY TRUTHS ILLUSTRATED BIBLE is a story book Bible in which true Bible stories are written as  fiction. The underlying story is true, but some events are watered down and fictionalized.  

The author skips all the women of the Bible, the characters are all people of color, and cartoonish, and there are a lot of Bible stories totally skipped.

If you want the true accounts to use for Bible stories at church, Sunday School lessons, homeschool, etc then you might want to look further.  If you want just a general storybook, this is perfect.  It could open the door for discussion and  encourage you to read the true biblical account.
