Bible Infographics for Kids Epic Guide to Jesus by Harvest House Publishers

An infographic helps you see information “using a combination of fun facts and craze-mazing visuals.” This third edition is filled with Jesus-centered information: His name, Jesus in the Beginning, Prophecies, Jesus’ I Am Statements, the World During Jesus’ Time, the Birth, Baptism, and Temptation of Jesus, the Sermon on the Mount, and many more. There are 24 sections in this picture book, each flooded with infographics and information.

This very unique picture book can be thought of as more of a reference book than anything else. You probably won’t sit down with your kids and read this from beginning to end. There’s just too much there.

This third in the series does its best to answer any questions that a child may have about Jesus. Each section itself can be a lot of information at once, but this an amazing resource to have to either peruse and learn at leisure or to supplement your Bible reading with your kids.

A couple of things to note:

-This book takes the stance that when people in the OT saw God in a physical form, it was Jesus, including the Commander of the Lord’s Army.
-In comparing Jesus to Israel, it says that “The Israelites were ‘baptized’ as they escaped through the sea.”
-Concerning Baptism it says we do this to follow Jesus’ example, to publicly declare our faith in Jesus, and to demonstrate our repentance. This reads a bit Credo-Baptist to me, but I am Credo-Baptist so perhaps Pedo-Baptists would disagree with me.
-When telling children not to try to walk on water like Jesus it reads, “Or you could have a miraculous, personal encounter like Peter did.”
-It reads, “Being angry or calling someone a fool is as wrong as murder” which could have been clarified better that you can be angry and not sin, but that isn’t what is referred to here.
-It uses language that assumes the child reading the book is saved and uses a bit of confusing language about spiritual death, “So now, we do not need to die for our sin because Jesus already died for them!” A child might think this is speaking of physical death since it doesn’t clarify.
-When explaining God’s plan of kingship over His people, it uses the phrases “Original Plan,” “New Plan,” and “Even Newer, Better Plan.” Although I very much do not think the author was intending to imply open theism, the wording isn’t the most desirable.
