DK Illustrated Family Bible

Creation, Noah’s flood, Moses and the Exodus, the life of Jesus, and the beginnings of the early church: DK Illustrated Family Bible brings a wide range of familiar biblical stories together in an illustrated book designed for shared discovery. Sally Tagholm retells the stories, with additional text by Andrea Mills, and the presentation pairs narrative with background material about the people and places of the Bible.

Stories from both Testaments

The contents travel through the Old Testament—from the patriarchs and Moses to Israel’s kings and prophets—and continue into the New Testament, following Jesus’ life, teachings, death and resurrection, then the early Christian community. Parables such as the Good Samaritan and the Prodigal Son sit alongside narrative episodes, giving readers several ways into the Bible’s stories.

More than a sequence of retellings

Introductory sections explore the books of the Bible, covenants and biblical lands. Historical notes, photographs and visual features help place events in their settings and offer context as readers move from one story to the next. The book also includes reference sections listing people from the Old and New Testaments.

For reading together and returning to

The clear story-by-story organization makes it easy to read in order or revisit a familiar episode. Young readers can encounter major biblical narratives, while parents and other family members can use the accompanying context to prompt conversation and further exploration.

A thoughtfully illustrated introduction to Bible stories for families who want to explore the Old and New Testaments together.
