Children of God Storybook Bible

Archbishop Desmond Tutu · 2010
91/100
👍 Worth It

Archbishop Desmond Tutu retells more than fifty Bible stories from Genesis to the Gospels, and the organizing conviction — that God loves every child regardless of nationality or background — shapes every page. What makes this storybook Bible genuinely distinctive is its illustrations: twenty internationally recognized artists, including E.B. Lewis and Javaka Steptoe, each depicted their own cultural heritage, making this one of the most visually diverse children's Bibles available. Each story closes with a short, personal prayer. Some more doctrinally specific traditions may find Tutu's emphasis on universal inclusion broader than their preferred framing. But as a supplemental Bible for families who want their children to see the full breadth of who God's people are, this is a beautiful, enduring choice.
