Review :
Con el interes de una divulgacion total, permitaseme revelar que tuve el privilegio de leer el original de este libro hace varios aand ntilde;os como consultor teologico de Zondervan, la casa editorial. Sin embargo, no sabia nada de los elogiosos agradecimientos dirigidos a mi esposo Tim en los reconocimientos, hasta que recibi mi ejemplar de revision hace unos dias. Sally Lloyd-Jones, miembro de muchos aand ntilde;os de Redeemer, ha hecho algo maravilloso. Ha captado la linea de argumento de la redencion en una Biblia con historias para niand ntilde;os que canta las alabanzas de Jesus y su gracia salvadora en todas sus paginas y en todos sus relatos. La mayoria de los libros para niand ntilde;os con relatos de la Biblia son poco mas que una version cristianizada de las fabulas de Esopo o, en el mejor de los casos un libro de dibujos animados cristianos con aventuras. En cambio, Sally se desvia en las primeras paginas del libro para recuperar la verdadera a historia de la Biblia: no un libro de reglas, ni un libro de heroes, sino: and laquo;La Biblia es sobre todo una historia... and iexcl;Es como el mas maravilloso cuento de hadas que se haya vuelto verdadero en la vida real! Veras: lo mejor que tiene esta Historia es... and iexcl;que es cierta! En la Biblia hay una gran cantidad de historias, pero todas ellas nos estan diciendo una Gran Historia. La Historia de lo mucho que Dios ama a sus hijos y acude a su rescate.and raquo; Esto es una emocionante teologia, que no se encuentra muchas veces en la predicacion y la enseand ntilde;anza a los adultos, pero que se entiende plenamente en una forma adecuada a la edad y atractiva que deleita a los niand ntilde;os y con frecuencia (al menos en mi caso) deja movido a lagrimas al lector adulto.--Kathy Keller
El Libro de Historias Biblicas sobre Jesus es tan teologico como encantador... una Biblia para ninos muy adulta.--Christianity Today
'The Jesus Storybook Bible is unlike any other storybook. True, that's to be expected when you combine the mesmerizing illustrations of Jago and the award-winning writing of Sally Lloyd-Jones, a Brit with an uncanny knack for storytelling. Not only is each story as vividly illustrated as it is portrayed, but also each tale is telling one Big Story--the Story of Jesus. Even the Old Testament stories of 'The young hero and the horrible giant' and 'Daniel and the scary sleepover' come full circle to Jesus, the greatest Hero, King, Lover and Rescuer the world has ever known.--More to Life Magazine
''The Jesus Storybook Bible: Every Story Whispers His Name' disproves the adage that you can't judge a book by its cover. Jago's award-winning cover art is a foretaste of the whimsically insightful and richly colored drawings that await you on every one of the book's 351 pages. The illustrations alone are worth the price of the book....Jago the illustrator, and Sally Lloyd-Jones the author, are a good pair. She brings the same creativity and sense of humor to her telling of the Bible's stories....But Lloyd-Jones's writing isn't cutesy. She has a grasp of the profound. How does one explain to a child the agony of Jesus in Gethsemane, and his prayer of surrender to his Father? Lloyd-Jones does it as well as any biblical commentator....The title and subtitle are even better than the book's delightful illustrations and narrative -- because they provide, in one deft stroke, the interpretive key that unlocks the meaning of the whole Bible. 'The Jesus Storybook Bible' says it all: The Scriptures are not merely a collection of stories designed to teach moral lessons. As Jesus explained to the men walking the road to Emmaus on Resurrection Sunday, the whole Bible is about Jesus. In the words of the subtitle, every story whispers his name....Lloyd-Jones manages to show again and again the presence of Christ in all the Old Testament Scriptures, and the presence of the Old Testament Scriptures in the life of Christ.'--Christianity Today
and iexcl;Yo animaria, no solo a las familias que tienen hijos pequeand ntilde;os, a conseguir este libro, sino a todos los cristianos, desde los que solo calientan bancas hasta los lideres del ministerio, los seminaristas e incluso los teologos! Sally Lloyd-Jones ha captado el corazon de lo que significa hallar a Cristo en todas las Escrituras, y ha hecho ver con claridad, incluso a los ninos pequenos, que toda la revelacion de Dios ha tenido que ver con Jesus desde el principio, una verdad que no es reconocida con la debida frecuencia, incluso entre los mas cultos.--Dr. Timothy Keller, NYC
Compartir el Evangelio con el Libro de Historias Biblicas sobre Jesand uacute;s ha sido uno de los mayores privilegios de mi vida.--Ann Voskamp
El Libro de Historias Biblicas sobre Jesus es diferente a todos los demas libros con historias. Cierto; eso es de esperarse cuando se combinan las maravillosas ilustraciones de Jago con los galardonados escritos de Sally Lloyd-Jones, una mujer britanica con cualidades especiales para relatar historias.--More to Life Magazine
En mi opinion, el Libro de Historias Biblicas sobre Jesus es uno de los mejores recursos disponibles para ayudar tanto a los ninos como a los adultos a ver la continuidad de la historia centrada en Jesus dentro de la Biblia.---Tullian Tchividjian, Pastor Principal de la Iglesia Presbiteriana de Coral Ridge
ME ENCANTA regalarles a las personas el Libro de Historias Band iacute;blicas sobre Jesus, porque desde el primer capitulo pinta una poderosa imagen del grandioso amor que Dios nos tiene a cada uno de nosotros. Sally Lloyd-Jones tiene una forma and uacute;nica de invitar al lector, joven o mayor, a sumergirse en el texto para descubrir por si mismo la verdad y la esperanza de la historia mas grande jamas contada.--Amy Grant
The Jesus Storybook Bible is, in my opinion, one of the best resources available to help both children and adults see the Jesus-centered story line of the Bible. Tullian Tchividjian, Senior Pastor of Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church--PCA, Fort Lauderdale, FL.
