Picture the Bible (Myers)

Also from the authors of Picture the Bible: God Loves You, a board book for young children! In the Beginning In search of a children’s Bible featuring diverse images of people and an understanding of justice grounded in God’s love, the Rev. Stacy Johnson Myers and First Congregational United Church of Christ of River Falls, Wisconsin, developed their own unique collection of Bible stories.  Picture the Bible is the beautiful result of their efforts, featuring dynamic scenery and diverse peoples through stunning collage art. Picture the Bible brings familiar Bible stories to life in a fresh way and raises engaging questions for young readers.   The fifty-three stories of Picture the Bible demonstrate the arc of God's promises and the invitation to living in God's way. They tell a range of hopeful stories, scary stories, funny stories, and comforting stories from the Bible -- ancient stories that are our stories too. About the Authors Stacy Johnson Myers serves as Minister of Christian Education at First Congregational Church in River Falls, WI. She is a graduate of The Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago, and holds a PhD from Northwestern University, Evanston, IL.
