The Carry Along Bible

The Carry Along Bible is an illustrated collection of Bible stories for young children, produced by Karin and Torben Juhl in a durable, portable format. It is built for a child to hold, carry and return to rather than for a shelf.

What’s inside The Carry Along Bible

The stories run from the Old Testament through the Gospels, told at a length a small child can sit through and in language that does not talk down. Every page is illustrated, which is what holds attention at this age.

The format is the point. A book at this size and binding goes in a bag, survives church, and comes back out. Children’s Bibles that live on a shelf get read a handful of times; ones a child carries get read hundreds.

• Bible stories from the Old Testament and the Gospels
• Illustrated on every page
• Story lengths suited to a young child’s attention span
• Durable, portable format built to be carried
• Written for reading aloud

Who this book is for

For children roughly 3 to 7, and for the parent or grandparent reading to them. It is a common gift for a dedication, a birthday, or a first Sabbath School class.

Older children move on quickly. This is a first Bible, not a lasting one.

About the authors and publisher

Karin and Torben Juhl produced The Carry Along Bible for The Stanborough Press. Their children’s titles are distributed through Adventist publishing across Europe and Africa.

The Carry Along Bible sits in our Bibles range. Families with older children add the pop-up story books The Fiery Furnace and Queen Esther.
