"Jesus had finished teaching the crowd, and now he had something to teach his friends - but they didn’t know it yet...” Alison Mitchell has cleverly retold Mark’s account of Jesus calming the storm, focusing readers on what Jesus had taught his own disciples - he does what only God can do. "The Storm That Stopped" is beautifully illustrated and is a great addition to every child’s must-have list.
It was no surprise to find “The Storm that Stopped” gripped my children. The narrative and the illustrations combine to help my children feel the disciples’ wildly changing emotions through the story. We felt the storm! My children love the visual scales measuring the impact of the storm. I love the final pages which excellently and simply help us understand that this story has a clear purpose in showing us who Jesus Christ is. Thank you!
"The Storm that Stopped" is a beautiful book. The illustrations are superb and the storytelling is engaging and delightful. I love all the different characters, and the expressions on their faces. The book tells the true story of Jesus stilling the storm. Wonderfully, it starts by setting the context, and explaining the purpose of the story: "Jesus had something to teach his friends". The story is told faithfully and with imagination, climaxing with who Jesus really is. This book is a must for children, parents, grandparents, godparents and Sunday school teachers. And if you're none of these, then still buy it! I love it.
They (The Good Book Co.) aim to make an excellent picture book, and they’ve certainly achieved that. It’s quite long, building up the suspense, so contains page after page of illustrations which really capture a child’s imagination. It begins by explaining the context of the miracle, and as far as I can see it sticks closely to the Bible text. It also comes to a spot-on conclusion at the end: the whole reason Jesus did the miracle.... continue reading
Opening up the beautiful hardback reveals fantastic illustrations and beautiful storytelling. The story of Jesus calming the storm is used to show not only a little about Jesus’ life and how much he cared for his friends, but also that he was, and indeed is, God. … One of the most creative children’s books we’ve seen.... continue reading
When bedtime stories are the highlight of the evening and the words and pictures generate a combination of intrigue, excitement as well as learning then everyone is on to a winner.... continue reading
Such an amazing book! Beautiful drawings and wonderfully written! The kids were all so engaged, excited, thrilled and we all enjoyed reading this together. I read it while using the images (downloaded) on the computer so they could all see. Their eyes were all fixed and ears listening. It was awesome! Such a delight! :)
The children enjoyed the story and learned who Jesus is. His power. That He is God. They acted out the boat in the water, with lightening and thunder sounds. Then there was His peace. Great books in this series for the adult reading and gif the children taking part.,
What a fabulous idea! The books are wonderful anyway but the added idea of being able to download the illustrations make them better than "Big Books". They have so many uses.
Brilliantly adapted account of Jesus in the storm for children & adults of all ages to enjoy & gain some fresh Biblical inspiration. Ideal for reading at All age worship along side visual download for story that can be projected on screen for larger groups !
It's refreshing to find a series of children's books that have up-to-date illustrations without compromising Biblical accuracy. I enjoyed reading it with my daughter and am delighted that she enjoys 'reading' it herself.
I highly recommend this book and all in the series. Through amazing visuals, the true story of Jesus shines forth. Children will be captivated but equally, adults will find surprising reminders of the awesomeness of Jesus.
This is a captivating re-telling of the story of Jesus calming the storm, taken from Mark Chapter 4. Beautifully illustrated and imaginatively written, it creates a sense of anticipation as the story evolves.It sums up the mood of the disciples in the boat, as the storm escalates and fear rises to panic. It then conveys the sense of amazement as Jesus stills the storm with a word. It guides the young reader through a process of realisation of who Jesus really is.
Absolutely delighted with the quality of these books. They are beautifully written and illustrated. Age range said 3-6 but honestly wouldn’t be surprised to see 7-8 year olds still enjoying them. As always The Good Book Company were very prompt in delivering and everything arrived in perfect condition.
What a brilliant story! Excellent pictures and story telling with real biblical truths there needs to be more of these stories available!! Maybe even a whole bible!?
My wife bought this for our grandchildren age 6 and 4 and they love it. They enjoy the detail of the pictures as well as the story. It contains images of Jesus but they are so cartoonised that no-one could think it was an image of Christ. The story told gets across the main purpose of the story - the greatness of Christ. Good!
