Best Catholic Children’s Bibles (Choices For All Ages!) The Best Catholic Children’s Bibles (Choices For All Ages!)

I absolutely love Tomie dePoala as an author, and Tomie dePaola’s Book Of Bible Stories is no exception! This is a beautiful picture book for Catholic children. In fact, this is the most beautiful actually Catholic picture bible for Catholic kids that I have ever seen. The illustrations are cute and whimsical, and because the author is Catholic, you don’t have to worry about the perspective the stories are told from. The girls all said they liked this bible better than The Action Bible because the pictures were brighter, yet my daughter that hates comics said she still wouldn’t read it. I like to read from the actual Bible for our formal catechesis, and a Catholic Bible for children on our “off” days when we’re not doing Into the Deep. And of course, these are the Bibles that are pulled up on laps alongside toddlers, and the ones that get brought to Mass.My family voted The Jesus Storybook Bible as the best read-aloud bible for kids, and also the most beautiful illustrations and layout. For what it’s worth, the fall of the angels isn’t in the Bible, so that might be why many kids’ Bibles don’t include it 🙂 Then God said, “Let the water under the sky be gathered together so the dry land will appear.” And it happened. 10 God named the dry land “earth.” He named the water that was gathered together “seas.” God saw that this was good. My family voted The Catholic Children’s Bible the best actual Bible for Catholic kids The Catholic Youth Bible This ranks as our favorite Catholic children’s Bible. Although its title implies that it is a collection of Bible stories, I find this to be a much more thorough and complete presentation of Scripture than other smaller collections of Bible stories (see more on those below).

Catholic Bible for Children - Into the Deep The Best Catholic Bible for Children - Into the Deep

I always thought The Catholic Picture Bible was beautiful, but my kids overwhelmingly agreed that it was the least appealing of our bibles for kids. You can see here that I like to use it as my prayer table bible.

Should We Even Use a Catholic Children’s Bible?

After reading the Adam and Eve story from each bible, this was our favorite version. It has storyteling elements, but covers a lot of the important points from the bible. This bible actually talks about Satan’s fall from being an angel, and mentions biblical details such as the flaming sword, how snakes will forever always crawl on their bellies, and included how Adan and Eve felt after eating the fruit. Then God said, “Let there be light!” And there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good. So he divided the light from the darkness. 5 God named the light “day” and the darkness “night.” Evening passed, and morning came. This was the first day. Personally, I really do like to use this on my prayer table. I think the golden edges and traditional cover make it a great choice for a classroom bible. The stories are told from a Catholic perspective, so that’s always a positive. Then God said, “Let there be lights in the sky to separate day from night. These lights will be used for signs, seasons, days and years. 15 They will be in the sky to give light to the earth.” And it happened.

I believe your children’s bible should have all the quality of any beautiful picture book for children. You don’t want your kids to be wowed with the colors and artwork in The Very Hungry Caterpillar, and then open a children’s bible to find ugly clip art and less than stellar stories. What message does that send to your child about the secular world vs. the christian world?If you have the ability to buy piles of beautiful christian picture books for your family, that is amazing, but I have been in so many places in life where that is not an option for me. Also, while some books can be found at the library, a lot of the more specialized books cannot.

I have a special spot in my heart for this one because I also had it when I was a kid!
