We are excited to let
you know that the Czech language version of The Jesus Storybook Bible is
now being offered for sale in the Czech Republic. You can buy your own
copy HERE.
The initial response of our Czech publisher at Návrat Domů
was pretty skeptical. He told us that there were already a number of Czech
children’s Bibles in circulation and another, expensive version was not really
needed. When we explained to him that we also wanted to publish the
associated Sunday school curriculum, he warmed to the idea a bit. Once he saw
the Bible in print, his reaction was overwhelmingly positive. Below are
excerpts from a few of his recent email messages:
“I read this book. I think that it is
excellent, deeper than the books for the kids which were published here [The
Czech Republic]. I´ll show it to the leaders of our church.”
“We started with the sale of Jesus
Storybook Bible. It is a wonderful book. Yesterday I spoke with our pastor. He
was surprised and satisfied that we published this title. He told me that this
title is recommended by Timothy Keller. … I
think that the way to the people in our church is opened.”
We have found it is often the case
that our Czech friends, even those who are fluent English speakers, are much
more powerfully affected by reading things in their heart language. Please pray
with us that the Lord will use this simple, but powerful children’s Bible to
open many thousands of hearts here.
