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.

A children's Bible that respects the Bible: Most kids' Bibles simplify or water things down. God’s Stories as told by God’s Children honors the Bible’s depth, complexity, and history—while making it engaging and understandable for kids. Context, not just summaries: Every story comes with background details that help kids get it. Ancient history, cultural insights, and the big ideas behind the text are all illuminated in simple, kid-friendly ways. No more guessing what’s going on or why a story is the way it is—our kids’ Bible connects the dots. A global team of experts and artists: Instead of one person’s interpretation, this Bible brings together 55 biblical scholars, theologians, and storytellers, plus nine illustrators from all around the world. The result? A rich, diverse, and well-rounded take on the Bible—both in words and visuals. Built for kids, trusted by parents: Created by The Bible for Normal People, an organization devoted to bringing the best in biblical scholarship to everyone, you can be confident this children's Bible won't push a theological agenda. We know the Bible is messy and complex, just like faith, so we created a children's Bible that helps kids develop a faith that grows with them. Because faith isn’t about having all the answers, it’s about faithfully exploring the questions.
