The Mighty Acts of God (book, audio) sounds like a book that will soon take its place alongside some other favorites in our home (The Jesus Storybook Bible, The Big Picture Story Bible, and The ESV Illustrated Children's Bible).
Here is what author Starr Meade says she's trying to accomplish:
Mighty Acts of God was written with elementary school-age children in mind. The stories are told in chronological order to demonstrate the unfolding revelation God gave of himself, of his saving purposes, and of his covenant. Important doctrinal teachings of historic Reformed Christianity are introduced or reinforced in these stories. Summary statements of these doctrines appear in the text in colored type to be easily seen. Similarly, words or theological terms that might be unfamiliar to children appear in bold. At the beginning of each story is a key verse—a Bible verse from the story or from elsewhere in Scripture, clearly stating one of the important truths seen in the narrative. A short separate feature called “As for Me and My House” follows each story, providing parents with additional ideas for discussion or activities related to the truths presented in that particular story.
