Once Upon A Time

As a Mom of girls, Once Upon A Time is a familiar phrase in our house.  I know growing up, any book I read that started with Once Upon A Time was sure to become a favorite of mine quickly, from Cinderella to Beauty and the Beast.  Fairytales are still a favorite of mine and my girls have followed in my footsteps as well.

The Once Upon A Time Holy Bible and the Once Upon A Time Storybook Bible from Zonderkidz, a division of Zondervan, were designed to capture the interest of Fairytale lovers.  Only these Fairytales are real and Biblical based for adults and children to enjoy together.  The Bible is no Fairytale.  Every book within was written Once Upon A Time to tell the story of God’s Love for us.

The Once Upon A Time Holy Bible is simply gorgeous.  The cover and images within were designed by Omar Aranda.  They are absolutely beautiful.  The cover features Once Upon A Time in shiny gold lettering.  There is a tree featured as well with beautiful, shimmering glittered green leaves.  This special touch gives this Bible the look Fairytales are made of.  

Inside there is a dedication page for the person receiving the Bible. There are many illustrated pages as well, featuring verses of the Bible to share the stories within.  Each verse is written in storybook form so as to tell the story behind the verse and draw the reader in to want to learn more. 

The Once Upon A Time Holy Bible is a complete New International Reader’s Version Holy Bible.  The full word of the Bible is included within.  Located in the back of the Bible are a dictionary and a list of 92 Great Bible Stories for you to read. 

Along with the Once Upon A Time Holy Bible, we were also sent the Once Upon A Time Storybook Bible.  This book is a hardback storybook, sharing 33 stories  from different parts of the New and Old Testaments.  Though the color is not quite as sparkly as the Once Upon A Time Bible, the Once Upon A Time Storybook Bible features gorgeous artwork within created by Omar Aranda as well.  

The Once Upon A Time Storybook Bible tells stories of the Bible taken from various verses.  At the end of each story is a Happily Ever After featured section which shares a Bible Verse to look up, as well as a small prayer to say and discuss with your child.  What a great way to encourage prayer with your little one!

We truly love our Once Upon A Time Holy Bible and our Once Upon A Time Storybook Bible.  I chose to give these to Laycie as she’s the right age for them at 9 and she’s been asking for a new Bible.  She has greatly enjoyed looking over the images inside with me and discussing the stories for each.
