Twenty years after the release of The Jesus Storybook Bible, Sally Lloyd-Jones joins Ginny for a heartfelt conversation about the unexpected journey behind one of the most beloved children's Bibles ever written, and why the way we tell children about God matters more than we often realize.
Sally shares the personal experiences that shaped her writing, from growing up with an image of a demanding God to discovering the overwhelming kindness and love at the heart of the gospel. Together, they explore why stories have the power to reach children (and adults) in ways that lessons never can, how wonder and imagination nurture lifelong faith, and why simplifying truth is one of the hardest—and most important—tasks of a writer.
The conversation also looks ahead to the upcoming 20th anniversary Jesus Storybook Bible tour, the creative process behind Sally's books, the importance of preserving childhood in an age of screens, and why reading great stories aloud continues to shape hearts across generations.
Whether you're a parent, grandparent, educator, writer, or simply someone longing to rediscover childlike wonder, this episode is a beautiful reminder that God's story has always been a story of grace, and that the best stories don't just teach us, they change us.
