It’s so fun to have a Christmas story book for children, though, that your kids can hold, look at the pictures, and ask you to read again and again!
Christmas Story Book for Children
Here’s what I love about The Christmas Story: The Bible Version by Carine Mackenzie (CF4K, 2014):
- It’s in chronological order. The accounts of Jesus’ birth in the Gospels all highlight different aspects of his story. Here they’re all told together.
- It’s faithful to the biblical account.
- There are 19 numbered 2-page spreads, so if you’d like, you can read a small part of the story each day leading up to Christmas.
- It starts with Adam, addresses the prophets, and then tells the story of Christ’s birth. The whole Bible is addressed. Because the Bible is all about Jesus.
- The book ends with “God’s Gift to Us” and a picture of a girl and boy under a Christmas tree. Mrs. Mackenzie explains why Christmas is a time for rejoicing for all Christians, and quickly tells the story of Jesus’ life, crucifixion, resurrection and ascension.
- I really like Carine Mackenzie’s storytelling.
- The illustrations by Natascia Ugliano are whimsical pastels that just make me happy. (There are no pictures of Jesus’ face, for those who require that detail.)

The most appealing feature for me is the use of the entire Bible. It is important for our children to read and understand the Bible as a redemptive-historical whole.
Glad this book starts at the beginning (i.e. why we need a Savior of the whole world and how Jesus meets that need). Would love a copy.
The pictures look amazing. They will help the story come alive for my kids.
This book is perfect for my boys’ age.
I like that it starts at the beginning. I like pictures as well.
Most appealing to me is that it starts off from the grey beginning of the bible!
It deals with the biblical text, and does not add to it!
Short, concise, Biblical account from beginning to the end makes this book very appealing. 🙂
I would like to enter your giveaway for The Christmas Story. My 10 year old would love this.
I love that it’s chronological!
