"I would recommend this book to anyone."
"A brilliant concept and great read by a guy who is dedicated to a Christian-based resolution to conflict at work and at home."
"This book changed the way I viewed conflict, and shown a light on an area of my life that I was still living more as a carnal man, rather than a believer. My wife and I have both grown to love the biblical principles of peace, that are laid out so clearly in the Peacemaker."
"I read this book several years ago but find myself coming back to it time and time again. I spend quite a bit of time trying to help people walk through their conflicts and seek reconciliation with those involved in the conflict. To focus on the Family of God and to seek to do that which is best for them. You will find that this book is chalk full of scriptural references and each of them brings us back to the point of realizing that Godly relationships with those around us is of utmost importance for the Gospel to be able to do it's work in the lives of the godless who live near us and observe us to see if God really does make a difference in our lives."
"Ken Sande's book is the composite of decades of experience in bring down to the operational level those actions that offer resolution and reconciliation to conflict between people. It is not just a book on theology, although there is a Biblical basis for everything he says; rather, it is virtually a handbook to how to function in the spirit of the Golden Rule to yield more harmonious relationships."
"I have used some of the information from this book for a workshop I do for churches on conflict in the church."
Without question, one of the hardest things to do is wait for Gods timing. In this fast-paced world in which we live, things are set up for maximum speed and efficiency. Smartphones are so cutting edge that they allow news events to arrive seconds after they actually occur. We are so used to everything moving at lightning speed, that we have a very hard time adjusting to the slower pace that God likes to work things out. Many times when life is not going as we like, we force things to happen. Pushing life is like digging up a seed to check if it has germinated, this may sound crazy but this is exactly what people do when they don't wait for Gods timing. If you learn to wait for God’s timing, your life will overflow with grace.

"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."

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. 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. -- More to Life Magazine In the interests of full disclosure, let me reveal that I had the privilege of reading the manuscript of this book several years ago as a theological consultant to Zondervan, the publisher. 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."
