My kids love a good story. Fairy tales and heroic characters, animals that talk, friendships, and mysteries. The great news is, all of those can also be found in the Bible too! Engaging my kids in biblically inspired books and Bible Stories is something in our home that we strive towards daily together. This list compiles a lot of our favorite books and some that I am excited to add to our library soon as well!
Family Bibles and Devotionals: Indescribable by Louie Giglio and The Wonder of Creation by Louie Giglio:
These are a fun spin on how God, science and creation all work together. In each devotional there is a Biblical element as well a lesson in something new about the world around us. This is a fun one for your little ones who are curious about the world and love science!
The Biggest Storybook Bible: This is a Bible that I have gifted to a lot of people. It is illustrated in a fun and unique way but is full of all of the amazing classic Bible Stories that are foundational for a young believer's walk.
The Jesus Storybook Bible: We have probably gone through this Bible at least 10 times front to back in our home. This is the one that we grab each night to read together as a family. One thing that I love is that the stories are long enough to have details and depth but not so long that you lose your little one's interest. Each page has images for them to look at as you read. Another really unique aspect to this Storybook Bible is that every story points back to Jesus at the end. My kids have just about memorized the phrase they hear at the end of every story each night.
The Explorer Bible: This is a new addition to our library as of this Christmas. We gifted this to Jude as his first big boy Bible. This is a traditional Bible (so not a storybook Bible). But it is great for a beginner. There are lots of colorful graphics and charts and informative snippets throughout the pages. We have gravitated towards picking this one up more in the evenings now to work through some stories the kid’s haven’t heard before.

Whether your kids are big readers or not, having an arsenal of faith-based books in your home is great when sitting down together as a family and diving into truth in a way your kids can digest. The way that my kids can re-tell Bible stories with accuracy at such a young age I attribute a lot to our prioritization reading Bible stories together each night as a family.
