What people are saying...
Bishop Erik Varden
bishop of Trondheim and president of the Nordic Bishops’ Conference
“The Bible, for Christians, is more than a collection of venerable texts; it is a world we inhabit, a cosmos we explore, as riveting as that of the galaxies. Each part must be seen in the light of the whole to reveal its sense. The ancient churches of Christendom made this clear by ordering and juxtaposing biblical scenes on murals or in glass. Standing within such spaces we see the Bible story as ours, ourselves as part of the story. This wonderful book manages something similar. It is like a portable cathedral. Lovely, telling images and carefully selected texts join in intelligent symphony. I cannot think of a better introduction to the biblical universe.”
Matt Fradd
author and host of Pints with Aquinas
“The illustrations alone make this book worth getting—stunning, reverent, full of wonder. But paired with a Christ-centered telling of the Bible as one unified story of God’s love? It’s the kind of book that will help a lot of young people—and older folks—see, maybe for the first time, the Bible’s beautiful, cohesive narrative.”
Lisa M. Hendey
author of I’m a Saint in the Making and founder of CatholicMom.com
“I’m delighted by The Story of All Stories for its engaging and edifying way of inviting families to know and cherish the greatest stories ever told. Emily Stimpson Chapman and Diana Renzina have combined their gifts and talents to create a beautiful Bible that will enkindle God’s love in the heart of everyone who reads it. Phenomenal!”
Dr. John Bergsma
professor of theology, Franciscan University of Steubenville; vice president of mission, St. Paul Center for Biblical Theology
“I highly recommend this lavishly illustrated, sensitively retold introduction to salvation history that will help form the imagination of the Church’s next generation around what is beautiful, good, and true!”
Katie Prejean McGrady
author of First Reconciliation and Beyond and host of The Katie McGrady Show on SiriusXM’s The Catholic Channel
“This is the children’s Bible I’ve been looking for, hoping to find, and at long last have to read with my kids.”
Fr. Stephen Gadberry

“The Story of All Stories breaks down barriers that often prevent youth from accessing that saving message. The dynamic narrative style and vivid imagery of this text allow them to truly experience the Word of God and fosters a true encounter with the Lord. Highly recommended.”
