The Story of God’s Promises from A to Z
For kids to understand the Bible, they need to see it as one story—God’s story of keeping his promises throughout history. This book for kids ages 3–6 follows the timeline of the Bible from A to Z—beginning with Adam, the first man God created, and ending with Zion, the new creation city.
Each letter briefly introduces an important concept from the story of the Bible, and is accompanied by corresponding Scripture passages, whimsical illustrations, and images of classical fine art from church history—all to help children see how their lives are part of the bigger story God is telling through the Bible.

“As a mom to four young boys, I love finding good resources to read to them that not only give them a love for reading, but also show them the wonder of God’s word. I want their love for reading to transfer into a love for reading God’s word, and Bible History ABCs gives a wonderful, big-picture overview of the Bible that is both enjoyable to read and engaging to look at. I look forward to reading it with my kids again and again!”
