Review Quotes:
In this engaging, unique children's storybook Bible, renowned Christian theologian and author of children's picture books and adult nonfiction [Esau McCaulley] helps children to understand God's great redemptive story to develop his two-pronged theme: of God's intention to draw all the nations of the world to himself and to protect and care for poor, oppressed, and marginalized people.--The Banner

Commendation Quotes:
Theologically sound and visually beautiful. Combining McCaulley's sharp scholarship and storytelling with Coelho's delightful and often breathtaking illustrations makes for a children's Bible worth sharing with all the little people in your life!--Phil Vischer, filmmaker, creator of VeggieTales and What's in the Bible?

Commendation Quotes:
God's heart for justice is woven throughout Scripture, and it is prime time for a project like God's Colorful Kingdom Storybook Bible! I am excited for children to explore this ancient message that is incredibly relevant for today's families. Esau writes with wisdom and love, and I enjoyed his faithful teaching of familiar stories with careful notes of God's heart for the diverse humanity He created. I felt both sadness and joy as I flowed through the pages. As a pastor's kid, I was taught that God loved everyone, but sadly, the material I grew up with did not illustrate this truth with accurate representation. That's why I am overjoyed that my grandson will not have to merely imagine the Kingdom of God as a place that welcomes everyone; he will see it page after page in this storybook Bible! The theme is brilliantly amplified by Rogério Coelho's illustrations. God's Colorful Kingdom will be a treasured and dog-eared companion for families that want their children to see the beauty of diversity in Scripture. For some, this message will be a rediscovery; for others, a reminder; and for us all, an opportunity to renew our commitment to joining God's Kingdom work on earth as it is in heaven.--Dorena Williamson, bestselling author and speaker

Review Quotes:
The beautiful messages that 'God made a diverse world containing every imaginable shape and color' and '...you are a gift. You are a story' resonate in this relatable Bible. Inviting Bible stories enhanced by vivid artwork; will hold strong appeal for children.--Kirkus Reviews
