"Been practicing and studying this book for a year or so."
"That being said, if a woman reads the book without regard for the religious filler (or if she is religious anyways), I can vouch that nearly every man will agree that if the teaching of this book were introduced into their relationship, he would be instantly more satisfied and many relationships could be saved. Between this book and "Five Love Languages," I believe many failing relationships could be salvaged; so long as both partners are at least good-willed."
"It's allowed me to be more patient with my other half and open up a whole new way for me to see things from his point of view."
"Great, awesome book."
"I particularly loved the tools, the action steps, one can take to live or the principles shared in this book!"
"This book was a bummer."
"When you love someone you show respect."

Mark’s blog (www.markbatterson.com) and webcast (www.theaterchurch.com) also reach a virtual congregation around the world.

"This book just opened up incredible increase of wisdom and understanding to circle your prayers."
"Using principles of truth, scripture, story and song, my lesson explored the circle (process) of steadfast faith and the power of “praying through” to victory."
"What this all does is teaches "a new way to pray" that the Word of God never espouses and is against Biblical teaching on prayer."
"His focus seems to be how to pray to make certain outcomes come to fruition, instead of emphasizing prayer that brings one into a closer relationship with a God who orders our steps."
"He left out a very important part of that passage which is how God sent a plague after sending the quail."
"Bad theology."
"I just don't understand why this book was written or taken seriously by people who read the word of God. The following article is good, but honestly the Biblical problems I have with this book and 40 days are many more than mentioned."
Based upon Ephesians 5:33 and extensive biblical and psychological research, Dr. Emerson Eggerichs reveals the power of unconditional love and unconditional respect and how husbands and wives can reap the benefits of marriage that God intended. EMERSON EGGERICHS Excited and burdened about male and female communication, Emerson Eggerichs launched the Love and Respect Conferences in August 1999.

The multiple award-winning Jesus Storybook Bible tells the Story beneath all the stories in the Bible. Tullian Tchividjian, Senior Pastor of Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church -- PCA, Fort Lauderdale, FL. 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. 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. 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.

I hope that every family, and even people without young children, would get a copy of this book just to remind them of what the Real Story of the Bible is all about.

Find Best Price at Amazon"I've tried three or four toddler Bibles, but they ranged from the meaningless and banal (Read With Me Bible For Toddlers) to the downright horrifying in their interpretation (The Story For Little Ones). The Jesus Storybook Bible, on the other hand, seeks to show how God's plan of salvation is unfolding through each story, and largely succeeds in doing so. First of all, there are children's Bibles like the Read With Me Bible that are simply bland. Granted, toddlers are not going to pick up on every nuance of a story from the Bible, but the Read With Me Bible often chooses the wrong points to emphasize, entirely leaving out important points of narrative along the way. One story simply lists miracles Jesus did with no context, failing to communicate that Jesus' miracles actually anticipate and begin to realize a new world, a world where God's Kingdom and rule are breaking into the world in a new and exciting way. This simply displays a level of ignorance about the story of Samson that is beyond belief for someone writing (interpreting) a Bible for children! So, for example, the story of the Exodus is told not as the story of God's great magic show, but instead on the great, mighty, and terrifying rescue of God's people from their slavery, pointing forward also to humanity's slavery to sin and coming rescue in Jesus. But again, the strength of this Bible is that it gets the story right, interpreting the main idea correctly and always pointing toward Jesus."
"I love this, I have toddlers and want them to know about the happiest, greatest story in all the world<3 Its simple and sweet and I love how each biblical story ends with how that story paves the way for Jesus. Mostly the main message, the good news; God loves the world, loves YOU, no matter what!"
"It’s great to read alternate translations (even kids versions) while retaining biblical accuracy."
"So many of the versions out there are just the regular bible verses with colorful kids pictures incorporated."
"Every single Bible story is tied to Christ and points children to the understanding of God's overall plan of redemption and salvation through Christ."
"They were 3 months when I. started reading to the twins."
"We love this book!!!"
"Lovely, readable stories puts things in a new light even for a seasoned Christian."
