For Westminster readers today, Geerhardus Vos is a monumental name in biblical theology. But in his lifetime Geerhardus was only the second most popular author in the Vos family. His wife Catherine’s The Child’s Story Bible sold more copies than all of Geerhardus’ books combined.

When Catherine wasn’t able to find a book that would connect Bible stories to young readers, she set out to write it herself. For thousands of young readers since, Catherine Vos’ The Child’s Story Bible has introduced them to the grand story of God’s Word in a faithful and exciting way.

Now Banner of Truth has produced a beautiful new edition of Catherine’s classic book for a new generation in quality binding, a new typesetting, and with full-page colorful illustrations.


Catherine Vos was the wife of great theologian and exegete, Dr. Geerhardus Vos of Princeton Theological Seminary, and an author in her own right. After looking through bookstore after bookstore for a book which would present the excitement and warmth of the stories found in the Bible, when she came up empty, she made it a life-long project to write one herself. The Children's Story Bible was the result.

Catherine Vos’ Child’s Story Bible combines qualities which are not generally found together: she appeals to the interest and imagination of children without sacrificing fidelity to the text of Scripture; she uses the stories to impress great doctrinal truths, uniting the element of enjoyment with instruction; and she takes the sombre warning passages of the word of God as well as those which call for admiration and trust in the Saviour around whom children once gathered upon earth.

Suitable to be read to children aged 3+, and read by children aged 7+ by themselves.

Also suitable for all adults who wish to refresh themselves of the overarching narrative of the biblical story.

This edition includes 26 colour illustrations by Neil McArdle and readers will be interested to know that there are no images of Christ in the book.
