She brings the same creativity and sense of humor to her telling of the Bible’s stories. Jago the illustrator, and Sally Lloyd-Jones (no relation to Martyn) the author, are a good pair. The illustrations alone are worth the price of the book.ĭid you ever wonder what Jacob’s face looked like the morning after his wedding night, when he woke up in bed with a different woman than the one he thought he had married - Leah instead of Rachel? Jago did, and what he imagined and drew made me laugh out loud. 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. “ The Jesus Storybook Bible: Every Story Whispers His Name disproves the adage that you can’t judge a book by its cover. “Sharing the Gospel with The Jesus Storybook Bible has been one of the greatest privileges of my life.” -Ann Voskamp Sally Lloyd-Jones has a unique way of inviting the reader, young or old, to dive in and discover for themselves the truth and hope of the greatest story ever told.” – Amy Grant “I LOVE to give people The Jesus Storybook Bible because from the very first chapter it paints a powerful picture of God’s epic love for each one of us.
