Here is a beautifully illustrated Bible storybook that speaks of humankind being created and valued. It emphasizes that God is light, but that people chose to sin and live in darkness. Much of the wording is taken directly from Scripture.
The stories include:
- The seven days of Creation
- Adam and Eve created
- Adam and Eve deceived by the snake
- Adam and Eve cast from the Garden
- Cain and Abel
- Noah and the flood.
- The Tower of Babel
- Abraham is chosen
Adam and Eve lived in God's light and peaceful garden until they rebelled against Him and were forced to leave their perfect home. Well, one sin led to another and another. In time, the world became a dark and evil place. Then God sent a great flood to destroy all life on earth. But Noah, his family, and two of every kind of animal, were saved. Time passed, and once again, people chose to live in darkness. So God called Abraham, to be the father of a new nation. A nation that would love God and live in His light.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR AND ILLUSTRATOR:
Pauline Shone has written and illustrated 18 Children's Bible Stories, published and distributed by Authentic Media in Asia. In the Beginning, is her first, full color children's book for Olive Press. Pauline lives in England. She has a son and a daughter, and four grandchildren
REVIEWS:
Good books help us to think. Children need to know the importance of thinking God's way rather than the world's way. They need to know how their decisions, both good and bad, will affect their lives just like Adam & Eve's, Cain's, and other Bible characters. This book shows God's holiness and mercy, right from the beginning. Pauline quotes Scripture, which is so important as many parents today think the Bible is obsolete and outdated. The beautiful illustrations will remain in the children's minds for years to come.

As a friend and former colleague of Pauline, I am honoured to be writing a review of In The Beginning. Pauline has captured the Biblical content along with such beautiful illustrations, bringing it alive for the child reader or like me the Dad reading it with his children.
Pauline is a gifted author putting pictures into words and words into pictures. My daughter just loves her books and it thrills me to see children excited about the Word of God. In this book children are shown (and we adults reminded) how it all began, and what an awesome God we have.

As a grandparent and retired primary school teacher, in both the Uk and Spain. I find this book of Pauline Shone's an excellent way of introducing young people to the often complex stories of the Old Testament, particularly in our multi faith world. They are easy to read or show and tell due to the charming and detailed illustrations, which open up opportunities to extend children's vocabularies and verbal expression. I heartily recommend it.
