This book presents and analyses two basic assertions Life in the 21st century is threatened by an unprecedented global crisis, which is the result of the exponential increase in the impact of human activity on the earth. Properly understood, the Christian concept of Creation and of human relationships based on God's Covenant, offer the clearest light on the meaning and nature of, and effective response to, the crisis, and the most realistic Hope for the future. It owes much to James Lovelock, the originator of the concept of Gaia - the earth seen as a single coherent living interlocking system - who challenges those of faith to develop "a theology of creation that could include Gaia. Recognise that human rights and needs are not enough; those with faith could accept the Earth as part of God's creation and be troubled by its desecration." This book is written to accept that challenge.

Some people think the Bible is a book of rules or a book of heroes. But the Bible is most of all a story—a story of how God loves His children and comes to rescue them.

The multi-award winning and best-selling The Jesus Storybook Bible: Every story whispers his name introduces children aged 5-8 to God’s wonderful story, and the Savior at the center of that story. While other children’s Bibles contain the same classic stories from the Old and New Testaments, The Jesus Storybook Bible tells the Story beneath all the stories in the Bible, pointing to Jesus as our Savior. From the Old Testament through the New Testament, as the Story unfolds, children will clearly see that Jesus is at the center of God's great story of salvation—and at the center of their story too.

The 21 Old Testament stories and 23 New Testament stories are brought to life with distinctive bright and colorful illustrations. It is the perfect beginner’s Bible for parents, grandparents, pastors and Sunday school teachers to share the most important story ever told with children.
