Graphic of a bookshelf filled with picture books, overlaid with the title “The Stories We Read” and the subtitle “Picture Books, Faith, and Black History Month.”

In this guide, I share how I evaluate storybook Bibles as a pastor, parent, and member of the Illustrated Ministry team. You’ll learn what to look for, how to discern what matters most, and my top progressive, inclusive recommendations.
