Everything about this bible is stunning. The storytelling is enagaing and inspiring and the illustrations delightful. And Eden booksellers highly efficient. Thank you Eden.

A most wonderful Bible!

R A Sinden

A friend asked if I could recommend a book that she could read to her granddaughter with a good range of Bible stories that a five year old would understand. I purchased the book without knowing too much about it, but I was very pleased at the content and had no hesitation in giving it to my friend. As yet I have not received any responses from either the lady or her granddaughter

Purchased

Joanna Payne

Although The Lion Storyteller Bible has been around for a number of years, it hasn’t become dated in look, style or presentation, and makes an excellent baptism gift. Apparently the book no longer comes with CDs, but I don’t feel that is really a problem.

Suitable

Judith McCarthy

The excellent Lion Storyteller Bible is used by our Open the Book team, presenting the stories (dramatised) to primary school children, and also a copy is presented to every child of primary age baptised in any of our ten churches across the Ministry Area. Perfect introduction to these lovely stories for this age group.

A staple in our Church

Shirley Davies

Beautiful pictures, wonderful storytelling. Just right for younger children.

Linda  Thomas

Paperback, but a sturdy paperback. Prompt delivery as usual.

Helen Blackburn

Perfect length of story for infant and junior children. Very accessible and enjoyable to read out loud.
