The Big Picture Story Bible by David R. Helm illustrated by Gail Schoonmaker*

In Gospel-Centered Teaching Trevin Wax  recommends reading the Bible chronologically each year to maintain our focus on the "big story" with Christ as the center and the Hero. He lists suggestions. One of them was this book for children. I read through it over one week for my Bible reading. Mr. Helm shares God's story in chronological order with continual reminders that God is King and that we need a Savoir. Each story points to Christ. Mr. Helm does an excellent job of selecting which stories to include and of summarizing the main points. He also engages the reader with age-appropriate probing questions. The only downside was Caucasian-heavy illustrations. People from that region were probably not fair-skinned. 

This may be a book I am giving to young parents when they have their first child.

*Highly recommend.
