Children of God Storybook Bible

The Children of God Storybook Bible will be a cause for celebration, a landmark work gathering in one volume the most cherished Bible stories for children 4- 8 years old, retold by one of the most-loved religious leaders and storytellers of our time. In his uniquely loving voice – conveying the message of God’s dream for his people – the caring, sharing God who loves, forgives and celebrates all the differences that make us who we are.

This Bible will emphasise that all the people on this planet are members of the same family, embodying the “rainbow character” of the Kingdom of God. One of Desmond Tutu’s major theological themes over the years has indeed been that God is the God of all nations and all people. Using different artists to illustrate the Bible will nicely tie in with that focus – bringing together some of the world’s best illustrators from different cultures, backgrounds, communities, etc., all contributing to the same publication.

	This will also be a strong message in the marketing of the publication: we will use the concept of the most popular Children’s Bible, with a new look at the retelling of stories from it, by one of the best-known theologians and Christian leaders in the world and illustrated by some of the most popular illustrators of children’s books around the world.
The concept for this Children’s Bible is unique because the stories are not merely a traditional retelling of the Bible stories, as in most Children’s Bibles. The content focuses on the educational methodology of Christianity as a way of life, and not a system of belief.
