Not as good as the old version, but still a keeper
We originally had the old version of this Bible and loved it. The very short Bible stories, organized in sections corresponding to the divisions generally used to refer to the books in the Bible itself, each end with the statement that "God loves" whoever the story was about. The stories were well summarized with simple, clear text and the illustrations were sweet but not too sweet. All the major stories were covered, including stories from the book of Acts. The stories were short enough that we usually read an entire section in a sitting rather than one story.

When our old Bible fell into pieces, we purchased the revised version. I wish I had kept the old version for comparison purposes so I could be sure exactly what had changed, but here's what I can tell. The new version has a window for a photo of the child. It adds the statement "and God loves me" to the end of each story in addition to the end of each section as it was before. Some of the story text has been modified, in some cases to enhance accuracy; in other cases for reasons I don't understand. At least two of the sections were split into two separate sections so that the new sections are shorter. Some stories have been omitted, including all the stories from Acts. In fact, I just this week noticed that the story of Jeremiah was missing when my daughter asked about it. Each section of the old version ended with a picture of a modern child doing something, and on the facing page the statement "God loved" and a list of characters from the section "and God loves me!" The new version omits the page with the picture of the child, probably to save space. The way the pictures are printed seems more garish, although the pictures are the same.

When I buy another one of these, which I will probably do soon, I will most likely buy the old version rather than the new. Although I like the photo window and some of the textual changes, I don't like having fewer stories. I still recommend this more than any other Bible storybook for this age group that I've seen, but it is not as good as the original.
