by Jennifer Lyell

God’s love is unstoppable. And that’s a promise. Noah’s ark. Joseph’s dreams. Jesus’s miracles. The Bible is rich with stories for our children to hear and enjoy, but when those stories uncover the thread of God’s promises, our children learn much more than individual Bible stories. They discover how God has demonstrated His love for us, from the first promise in the garden to the promise of the new heavens and earth. A conversational, whimsical, biblically faithful retelling of more than fifty key Bible stories,  The Promises of God Storybook Bible  lets your child hear favorite stories with new ears, repeatedly assuring them that each word is proof of God’s unstoppable love and unbreakable promises to His people.

About the author

Jennifer Lyell has had the honor of teaching the Bible to women, teens, and children of all ages and in both the United States and overseas. While she is grateful for the opportunity to open God's Word anytime she's given the opportunity, teaching children eclipses it all and is the most enriching and joy-filled experience in her life. Jennifer considers teaching and discipleship her primary calling from God, but a love for books and the written word has permeated her life since a small child, so her passion for biblically faithful and personally engaging children's books runs deep.

In addition to her teaching ministry, Jennifer served for more than a decade as book publisher for LifeWay Christian Resources. The hundreds of titles that the book publishing team acquired, developed or managed under Jennifer’s leadership included more than a dozen New York Times bestsellers, as well as multiple Christianity Today Book of the Year winners. Jennifer holds a Master of Divinity Degree from The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, which is good because she has been asked questions by preschoolers that she wouldn’t have been able to answer without it! Jennifer is an often off-the-path hiker who is always happy when adventuring (just like a child!).

The Promises of God Storybook Bible: The Story of God's Unstoppable Love by Jennifer Lyell

4 stars

This is a beautiful illustrated children's story Bible that breaks down Scripture from Genesis to Revelation and focuses on how the Bible as a whole focuses on the promises of God. It is a brilliant idea and the artwork is absolutely STUNNING. Each chapter focuses on a particular story and then is followed up with questions to interact with kids. I could definitely see this being implemented into a children's church curriculum, which makes sense because Lyell has been a children's church leader for many decades. My only real issue with this little book is that there are lines that are not theologically or contextually relevant. For instance, when address the story of Saul being blind and led to fast for three days before Ananias lays hands on him to restore his sight, Lyell says that it is probably because he was so guilty from all the people he had killed. That's a big nope and it incorrectly portrays the power of the spiritual act of fasting that a man who has persecuted Jews who believed in Jesus being the Messiah. That's just one example out of couple that I had issue with. However, I think it's a beautiful book and I would recommend reading to your little ones especially if you are struggling to explain the overarching significance of Jesus throughout all of the stories of the Bible.

Thank you, B & H Children's Books, providing me with a copy of this novel in exchange for an honest review.

Sometimes it is hard for us to grasp the big picture of the Biblical narrative. The Promises of God Storybook Bible, by Jennifer Lyell and illustrated by Thanos Tsilis, is a beautiful Bible that tells the story of God’s unstoppable love.

The Promises of God

Author Jennifer Lyell wrote the stories to be read aloud. She sees the book being used at home with families or at church in Sunday School. Each chapter takes a part of the Biblical narrative and couples it with a specific promise from God.

The first section, Promises of God from the Old Testament, includes 21 chapters. The second section, Promises of God from the New Testament, includes 27 chapters. Scripture quotations are from the Christian Standard Bible.

In the prologue, God Before Light, God is revealed to be one who always keeps His promises. Chapter three, The Broken Promise, teaches how God always tells us the truth. The 25th chapter, The Promised One, reveals how God sent His Son to save His people from their sins. The final chapter, The Promised Return and Rule, assures us that Jesus is coming back, and we will rule with Him.

God’s Unstoppable Love

What I appreciate most about this Bible is how it is not afraid to tackle the difficult stories as well as the more complex doctrines. For instance, in Chapter 18, The Passover Promise, the plague of death is highlighted to show the seriousness of our sin. However, Lyell shares how God will save His people through the blood of a spotless lamb.

Full-color illustrations are included, and many are full-pages without text. Bible references are mentioned to show where exactly each story was taken from. And each chapter ends with several age-appropriate questions for further discussion.

The illustrated characters are beautifully done, with dark skin tones and black and brown hair and eyes. The book is bound in a hardback cover, brilliantly designed to capture attention.

A Storybook Bible

This Bible is a bold and beautiful way to help you and your children understand the Biblical narrative. The illustrations will draw you in and keep you turning the pages. This Bible will help us to ask questions and make room for conversation. But most importantly, it will point us to the truth of the gospel and to our God who always keeps His promises.

I was provided a free copy of The Promises of God Storybook Bible but was not required to write a positive review.

An uplifting Bible storybook that takes you from Creation to the New Jerusalem with promises from God. I appreciate that the books and chapters are at the end of each chapter, if you want to read straight from the Bible, and there are some thought-provoking questions at the end to ask your children and talk about with them.

[Abigail Leick · Rating 2 out of 5]

I did not like this kid's Bible. The premise was great so it still gets two stars, but why the author felt the need to talk down to children by calling certain words "big grown up words" is beyond me.

[Patricia Timbrook · Rating 5 out of 5]

To most of us in the realm of Christian literature, including some new bloggers and book reviewers such as myself, Jennifer Lyell is anonymous author. But, with her newly released storybook bible, THE PROMISES of GOD, from B&H Kids Books, her anonymity is sure to diminish.

In Lyell’s storytelling writing style and through dramatic, yet, somewhat dreamy art, from Thanos Tsilis, both author and illustrator adapt the Old and the New Testaments into one year’s worth of stories for kids and parents through titling each devotional week as a unique promise of God.

Not a big book–such as B&H’s EPIC Bible– The PROMISES of GOD Storybook Bible, The Story of God’s Unstoppable Love, looks and holds like a early reader chapter book; and, its hardback cover shows a night scene where a worshiping Moses is looking heavenward to God–the Beginning and Ending of all.

The Promises of God Storybook Bible is a high level overview of many of the accounts in the Bible aimed at children. I liked several aspects of it, for one, it doesn't shy away from teaching what many would consider 'deep' truths, that even adults struggle with. It seems to go by the premise that kids will take God's word in faith (as we all must do). Here are some excerpts to illustrate this, "…He is only one God, but He has three persons that are all completely that one God" and, "He has always known every single thing that was going to happen, and nothing ever happens without His permission. That means when we hear about something that happened in the Bible, where someone disobeyed God or it seems like God's plans were messed up, God's plans were never messed up. " It doesn't shy away from concepts of God's sovereignty, for instance in dealing with Rahab the harlot it says, "God had made it so that Rahab would hear all these things, and then He changed her heart to want to follow Him."

At first I was afraid that this book would promote, or at least leave room for, Creation taking place for millions of years. At first it seemed that it was at least leaving room for that concept as it didn't initially describe six "days", but then it actually did seem to get more specific: "God filled the water with fish and animals that swim! Big fish and little fish. They were all created in one second because He said they should exist." Okay, the term "One second" certainly doesn't leave room for evolution! I do wish that it would have clarified creation as taking place in six days though.

This book needs some clarification/corrective commentary if read to/by kids. I'll give a few examples: For one thing, the book seems to assume that there were sacrifices for sin before the Mosaic law. It teaches that God told Abraham to kill Isaac as a sacrifice for sin. I don't remember God specifying that it would be a sacrifice for sin, just that he was to offer Isaac up as a burnt offering (were all 'burnt offerings' sacrifices for sin?). Also, later on, in dealing with Moses, after he flees Egypt, "The Bible doesn't tell us for sure, but it seems that during this time Moses asked God's forgiveness for killing the Egyptian and made the sacrifice he had to make for that sin." Again, perhaps I'm wrong, but I thought that sin sacrifices, in particular, were not instituted by God until the Mosaic law.

It also reads things into some of the accounts. For instance, it talks about Abraham being worried that God really as going to make him kill his own son. "His heart must have been beating so hard, and he was probably had tears in his eyes as he worried that maybe God really was going to make him kill his own son." The Bible doesn't say that Abraham was worried that he MIGHT have to actually kill his son, he actually didn't seem to have any question as to whether or not he would have to kill his son, rather he seemed to have instantly made up his mind that he would kill his son because God had told him to do it. He was all in, also evidenced by his contemplating that God can even bring people back from the dead.

In the illustrations, Aaron looks significantly younger than Moses - that seems weird as Aaron was older than Moses. Also, and I expected this, but there are illustrations of Christ. I always feel a bit uncomfortable with depictions of Christ, and still do - especially with cartoon illustrations. These aren't as strange and irreverent seeming as some (Beginner's Bible), but still make me uneasy.

Anyway, this book is sort of an overview/ paraphrase with some interpretative commentary thrown in.

Many thanks to the folks at B&H publishers for sending me a free review copy of this book. My review did not have to be favorable.

[Paul C. · Rating 4 out of 5]

I was excited to receive a copy of The Promises of God (2019, B & H Kids) mainly to see how my five-year-old son would like it. Illustrated by Thanos Tsilis and authored by Jennifer Lyell, I find that this children’s Bible fills a gap between the ultra-watered down cartoonish children’s Bibles that can be condescending to children, and the popular graphic novels which can be too much to handle for young children. I personally appreciate that the author does not skirt around many issues that other children’s Bibles might (such as the hardening of Pharaoh’s heart), though I imagine that other parents might be less enthusiastic about this aspect.



The book at hand is not only visually captivating but also includes great theology; I thoroughly enjoyed the author’s presentation of the Edenic account, as well as how the author dealt with the apostle Paul. I confess that once in a while I get bored with my Bible. When that happens, I turn to comic Bibles or the audio Bible, or something like the four Gospel movies released by Netflix (in which Selva Rasalingam plays Jesus). We all learn at different rates, and some people need visuals more than others. The Promises of God is a great resource with stunning visuals. It would be a great gift for teens or young adults, or for those who need visuals such as myself.





As noted already, I appreciate that the author does not water down or avoid some hard passages. The visuals are what I think make this children’s book stand out, with the artist avoiding the cartoonish style that is quite common in some children’s Bibles. Of course, I need to be clear: those children’s books have their place!



I will say that this is not a perfect children’s book. There are places where I seriously disagree with the author’s interpretation, especially her Calvinistic leanings. At one point the author talks about the woman with the bleeding problem, asserting that because Jesus was God, he always knew exactly who was around him (even in the pressing crowds). This is an assumption, and while it’s important for Christians to affirm the divinity of Jesus, I feel that such a statement goes too far and can be in danger of sacrificing the humanity of Jesus. Jesus, in his humanity, depended on the Father and the Spirit (=Jesus was not a superhuman).





What shines in this book are the illustrations, vivid and detailed and certainly less candy-coated than our children may be used to, as well as the creativeness of the author. My issues with this great storybook are its Calvinistic leanings as well as the general wordiness of the storybook. Otherwise, it’s a great storybook which my son loves. Thanks, B & H, for the complimentary copy!

The Promises of God Storybook Bible is not just another children's Bible but one that proves God is always in control, can always be trusted, always loves His children, always provides, always cares, always...

It's very interesting to read children's versions of the Bible, especially after having read and taught the 'adult' version for so many years.  Because God's Word is alive and active, any retelling of the story should reiterate those truths that we know so well and allow 'new' truths to become real.  For instance, why did Joseph cry when he saw his brothers again.  We're often taught that it was because he missed them so much, but could it also be that even though he had forgiven them their betrayal still hurt.

God's sovereignty is a consistent theme throughout the stories, helping children (actually, anyone who reads it) understand that God is in total control of all aspects of life.

I'm always cautious with Paul's part of the story and presenting it in such a way that children understand that he is being used by God, through his writings, to help the Believers, both then and now, understand God's Word, Jesus' life and sacrifice, and how it applies to our everyday lives. Jennifer Lyell does this beautifully. Check out his quote from her words on 1 & 2 Thessalonians.

Paul wrote these letters to the church in Thessalonica thousands of years ago. But God put them in the Bible because they're also promises for us today, and they have been for followers of Jesus from the beginning.  We are all to wait for Him to come back and not worry about when it will be because God knows the perfect time.  And we are to listen only to teachers who teach what matches the things Jesus taught.  And we should encourage one another to work hard telling people about Jesus like Paul did! (pg. 255)

I shared this book with a delightful family to read and review for me.  Their comments were very positive with only one suggestion which I found quite interesting.  They felt that sometimes the titles were misleading and should have better matched the story and the concept of God's Promises.

I would have liked to see some of Mrs. Lyell's stories of the other New Testament writers, like James and Peter, included in this book.

I highly recommend this book.  Jennifer Lyell is an awesome storyteller. It will be an excellent resource for family devotions, Children's Sunday School and small group teachers.

The Promises of God Storybook Bible
The Story of God's Unstoppable Love
By Jennifer Lyell
Illustrated by Thanos Tsilis

This book has over 50 Bible stories (24 from the Old Testament and 28 from the New Testament). Each story is told through a lovely blend of text and illustration. Jennifer Lyell uses her years of experience as a Sunday School teacher in the text portion of the book almost using a conversational style to tell each story. And the illustrations that accompany each will catch young eyes as the story is read.

The book opens with Creation and moves through the first sin, the flood, and Noah's Ark. Then the attention is turned to Abraham and his descendants as they become the nation of Israel while in Eygpt all the while hoping for the promised Savior. Again and again, Israel fell short, failing to heed the word of the prophets God sent to them until years went by with no word from God. After generations of silence, God again spoke to His people but His message was limited to a select few including a young woman named Mary. Mary was to be the mother to God's promised Savior. We are then taken through Jesus's birth, childhood, ministry, and His death. When we read through the story of the Resurrection we notice that the author wove the story of Job into it. The ministry of the disciples following Jesus's accession then takes up the majority of the book with the last two stories coming from Revelation.

This is a nice introduction to the Bible for young readers. I think it is better for children over 2 just for comprehension purposes but that doesn't mean you can't share with those that are younger. I think this would be an excellent choice for either morning or evening devotion times. The length of each story is perfect for young listeners who have a shorter attention span but not so short as to feel skimped. The book is over 200 pages so you can estimate about 4 pages per story.

I was provided a complimentary copy of this book by the publisher with no expectations but that I offer my honest opinion - all thoughts expressed are my own.

[Brandi (Rambles of a SAHM) · Rating 5 out of 5]

There are a ton of children's storybook Bibles to choose from. In fact we already own a ton of them. So why would we consider another one? Those are always my thoughts when I am offered a new children's storybook Bible. Will it just languish on the shelf or will it be one that stands out?

I'm happy to say that The Promises of God Storybook Bible is a standout among our collection. From the opening pages you can just tell that it is different. The illustrations have a lushness to them that makes you want to take your time looking at and enjoying turning each page.

The other thing that stands out are the stories themselves. Ms. Lyell chose to take the reader through scripture and explore the promises that God made with His people. There are the usual stories but what I loved were the ones that are not usually included. When was the last time you read a children's storybook Bible with an inclusion of Job? Not often I imagine.

Not only is there a very comprehensive overview of the Bible but it is written with the average four-year-old in mind. The author has taught young children in Sunday School for years and has developed an understanding of concepts that they long to be taught at a level they can understand. At the end of each story section she includes questions that will help you solidify with your little one what the Bible is teaching. Again these aren't run of the mill questions. A lot of thought has gone into them and I appreciate that.

I have several young grandchildren and I intend to get a copy for each of their houses. If you have young children or grandchildren this book is worth a look. Take your time and read through a few of the stories and I think you will be as impressed as I was.

The Promises of God Storybook Bible, written by Jennifer Lyell and illustrated by Thanos Tsilis, is the newest storybook-style children’s Bible to enter our home. My husband has read Bible stories to our daughters every night before bed for years, so we’ve gone through many of these. Without a doubt, I know he is going to LOVE the built-in bookmark. It’s a daily struggle for the bookmark to stay on the correct page.

I enjoyed how The Promises of God Storybook Bible focuses on the promises of God and his love for all of us. It’s such an encouraging and affirming message for children and adults. With over fifty Bible stories included, I was a bit surprised by some of the chosen stories. It jumps from the fall of Jericho to the prophecies of Isaiah, skipping some pretty popular characters and stories. (David & Goliath, for one) However, I liked that in included stories less frequently seen in storybook Bibles. As I mentioned, Old Testament prophecies are included. It also dedicates time to the New Testament epistles.

I recommend The Promises of God Storybook Bible: The Story of God’s Unstoppable Love by Jennifer Lyell to caregivers of children ages 4-10. It is more narrative-intense than similar storybook Bibles and sometimes dives into deep subjects. (The very first one tries to explains the Trinity and then follows with talking about how we can believe even when we don’t fully understand.) Younger readers may still enjoy The Promises of God Storybook Bible, but I think older children will more fully grasp its concepts.

Disclosure of Material Connection: I was provided a copy of this book by the publisher. All opinions in this review are my own.

[Vera Godley · Rating 5 out of 5]

Typically, young children's books are quite limited in the scope of the promises found in the Bible with which children are made familiar. The rainbow promise. The never leave you nor forsake you promise. The promise of a Saviour Redeemer. Just a few.

But in The Promises of God Storybook Bible the child has the opportunity to see how God has loved his people and his creation throughout time. How He has made promises and kept them throughout the ages in many ways to many people.

I think the content, layout, and method of story telling suitable for ages 5 to 10. The basic stories will be recognized by many children, but the application of how each is related to a promise of God may require some extra parental interaction.

The story telling tone is conversational and relaxed yet holds steady with the teachings of God's Word. The book takes the reader from the Genesis or beginning, through the fall of man, and on through the Old Testament and New Testament ending with our Returning Redeemer in the Revelation.

This is a storybook and it is not a Bible though it does take one through much of the Bible with each story section showing the general area of the Bible from which it is taken. There are a few discussion questions at the end of each story to enhance understanding.

I think this is a very good storybook of Bible stories and the emphasis on the Promises of God sets it apart from the usual Bible storybook.

The Promises of God Storybook Bible is an excellent resource for teaching preschoolers the truths of God's word. Author Jennifer Lyell created this storybook Bible as a means for helping her Sunday school students learn the narrative of Scripture. In the introduction to the Bible, Lyell wrote, "I've learned that the thread of the promises of God is sticky for kids and easy for them to understand. It weaves together the stories from creation to the new heavens and earth, all while making the stories personal. This thread, coupled with a way of teaching that either uses words children know or defines important words they may not know, makes the most complex of biblical stories comprehendible to children as young as three, but fully engaging for children as old as nine or ten." The Promises of God Storybook Bible contains 52 stories, one for each week of the year, which makes it a great resource for Sunday school teachers. Parents can also use the storybook Bible with their children daily. I read through a few of the stories and enjoyed how Jennifer communicates them in a way that is simple for children to understand without compromising the truth of God's word. Each story is accompanied by lovely illustrations and concludes with a few questions that are simple but are sure to get little ones thinking. I really enjoyed reading The Promises of God Storybook Bible and am excited to use it daily with my preschooler. I received The Promises of God Storybook Bible compliments of B&H Publishing Group in exchange for my honest review.

The Promises of God Storybook Bible by Jennifer Lyell starts with a note to all of the grown-ups. In this introduction she shares her experience in teaching Sunday School for many years to all ages. She shares why she chose to write this book and how she hopes it touches the hearts of both the children being read to and those doing the reading. I immediately felt encouraged that this was a book full of blessings to all that learn about the promises of God. I also love that the stories in this book start with the premise that God always keeps His promises. Then the last story reminds us that Jesus is coming back some day--He promised.


I thought the illustrations in The Promises of God Storybook Bible brought the stories to life with their vibrant colors and detailed pictures. I like the way the stories are told. These are a good length for shorter attention spans. Then each story ends with just a few questions to help bring about some good family discussions. This book would be great for bed time stories, family devotions, readings after supper or morning devotions. They are a good length for many applications. I liked The Promises of God Storybook Bible from one end to the other and I highly recommend it.

The Promises of God Storybook Bible is probably my personal favorite children’s book that I’ve gotten my hands on and the one I’m most excited to share with you. Why? It’s dense with theological truths like the trinity but condensed to a level that a young mind would be able to comprehend. And it’s G-O-R-G-E-O-S in design.

Per what you would expect from a storybook Bible for children, The Promises of God Storybook Bible has the typical stories throughout from Adam and Eve to Moses, John the Baptist baptizing Jesus and everywhere in between these beloved biblical stories and beyond.

What I also love about The Promises of God Storybook Bible is the thought-provoking questions asked after each story entry. Here’s an example of the first storybook entry “God Before Light.”

Questions from The Promises of God Storybook Bible:

How many Gods are there?
How many persons is the one God?
What are the names of the persons of God?
Does God get surprised or confused about things that happen in the world?

This storybook Bible is written from the perspective of God's promises and how they tie the Bible together. Even from the beginning, God promised to send a Savior to the world. Like any storybook Bible, this one is from the author's perspective, but it looks like a good one. Each story gives a main point at the beginning and then follows the story with questions regarding the story and how it applies to their lives.

This is a great Bible to encourage children that God loves them and always keeps His promises. I was delighted that she even did stories on the epistles of Paul all the way through Revelation. These timeless stories will delight children and hopefully give them a foundation for love and trust in God.

(Please Note: Although a copy of this Bible was sent to me by B&H and Lifeway to review, the opinions expressed are my own.)

[Kenneth · Rating 4 out of 5]

Mostly theologically accurate, and also theologically deeper than most storybook bibles. Certainly one of the best I’ve read. There are a handful of phrases where an obvious change in word choice would have fixed inaccuracies. The book does skip the vast majority of the Old Testament, spending nearly half its pages on the first 6 books, then jumping to Isaiah 53 and Jeremiah 31 before skipping to the gospels. Twelve New Testament books are skipped as well.

The art is great. The length of each reading is perfect for the target age range. The four questions included at the end of each reading are mostly great to produce good discussion.

[Amy · Rating 3 out of 5]

My kids love this Bible and pick it often to read over other children’s Bibles. I think they like the pictures and they love the discussion questions. However, as a parent this is my least favorite kids Bible to read. Both my husband and I constantly stumble over the wording and the many run on sentences and lengthy phrases. There are so many times we have to reread what was written because it just didn’t make sense. Also, the wordiness of it makes it seem like the retelling of the story takes longer than reading the account from the actual Bible. In my opinion it unnecessarily complicates the story and we often have to wade through her own opinions put in as explanations.

I purchased this Bible for my grandchildren who do not live near me. I searched for a compelling, age appropriate Bible that was engaging visually as it was for reading.
