A personalized Bible story book with their name in all ten stories.
Ten Bible stories, retold in rhyme, with your child's name closing every one and the child you build on the cover. Written for ages three to six. Hardcover or softcover, printed one copy at a time.
Every story is checked against the Bible, chapter and verse. All ten are free to read on this site right now.
Most personalized Bibles only change the cover
Search for a personalized Bible for your child and you get a stack of mass-market Bibles with a name stamped on the front in gold foil. Lovely covers. Same book inside as every other copy.
This one is written the other way around. Your child's name is on the cover, and it is also inside, in the last line of all ten stories, in the dedication, on the belongs-to page, and in the blessing at the end. A four-year-old does not read the foil on the front. They hear their own name at the end of Noah's Ark, and they ask you to read it again.
The ten stories inside, and where each one comes from
Ten personalized Bible stories for kids, one spread each, in the order they happen in the Bible. Every page pairs a painting with four to seven rhymed lines, every story carries its passage reference on the page, and every one has a free full-length version here on the site if you want to read it before you decide.

Twenty-four pages, front to back: a title page, a dedication you write yourself, a belongs-to page, the ten stories, and a closing blessing with your child's name in it.
Every spread, as it prints.
These are rasters of the real printed pages, not mock-ups: the painting on top, the rhymed lines under it, and the italic line at the bottom where the name lands. Swipe through all ten.
The name printed in these samples is Henry, our sample child. In your copy it is your child's name, in the same place, ten times.
What gets personalized, and what does not
Their name, in all ten stories
The last line of every story speaks to your child by name. "David was small, Henry, but God was with him. God is with you." Their name is also on the cover, the belongs-to page, and the closing blessing.
Their character, on the cover
You build your child in the same customizer we use for Little Prayers: skin tone, hair, and all. That child appears on the front cover of their own book.
Inside the stories, the Bible scenes stay the Bible's
We do not draw your child into Noah's ark or the lions' den. Those pages are illustrated in a soft painted storybook style, and they show the story as it happened. Your child meets it by name, from the outside, the way a child listening to it does.
You also write the dedication yourself. A date and a blessing fit well there. That is the whole ask: a first name, a look, and a line of your own turn it into a personalized children's storybook that belongs to one child.
Build, preview, order.
You build your child and page through the printed spreads before anything goes to press. When it is ready, checkout is a few taps away.
Build your child
Open the customizer and add your child's first name, then choose their skin tone and hair. That character is painted onto the front cover of their book.
Write the dedication
A date and a blessing fit well on the dedication page. You can page through the printed spreads while you decide, and pick hardcover or softcover as you go.
Order your book
Check out securely and we print the book after you order it, because every copy has a different name in it. Shipping speed is your choice at checkout.
Written for ages three to six, one story a night or the whole book in ten minutes
Four to seven rhymed lines a page, plain words, one idea at a time. Each story reads aloud in about a minute, which makes it a bedtime Bible story book first and a shelf keepsake second. It rhymes the way the classic picture books rhyme, so a three-year-old can follow it and a six-year-old can start reading it back to you. If you have been looking at personalized books for preschoolers and finding mostly birthday and bedtime titles, this is the Bible story one.
Older readers are better served by the free stories on this site, which run five or six minutes each and keep more of the detail.
Why families order it: baptism, christening, a first birthday, Christmas
A personalized baptism book is what a keepsake like this is built for, and it holds up better than most baptism gifts because it gets read. Set beside the usual personalized christening gifts, a silver frame or an engraved cup, it is the one with words in it. The child's name is inside, the stories are tied to chapter and verse instead of sentiment, and there is a dedication page at the front where godparents put the date.
Baptism and christening
As a personalized christening book the hardcover is the usual choice. Write the date and the verse in the dedication and it becomes the thing that comes off the shelf at eighteen.
A first or second birthday
Ordered a little early. Three-year-olds grow into it fast, and the name at the end of each story is what makes them pick it up themselves.
Christmas
“Jesus Is Born” is spread seven, so it is a Christmas book that keeps working in February. For a baby's very first Christmas we have a separate guide.
Grandparents and godparents
You need the child's first name and how they look. Nothing else. The dedication is yours to write.

Hardcover or softcover, printed one copy at a time
Two formats, 8.5" × 8.5"
A sturdy hardcover at $49.99 or a softcover at $39.99, both 24 pages with the same ten stories inside.
Printed after you order
Every copy is printed once your order comes in, because every copy has a different name in it. Nothing is pulled from a warehouse of identical books.
Shipped in the United States
Shipping is to US addresses, and you pick the speed at checkout: standard $6.99 or expedited $23.99.
Our own illustrations
Twenty painted pages in a soft storybook style, made for this book, not licensed clip art or stock scenes.
A book that is made to be held
Eight and a half inches square, thick enough for small hands, and short enough to finish in one sitting. Ten stories is the length a three-year-old can hold and a six-year-old can read back to you.
It is the kind of book that ends up on the nightstand rather than the shelf, because the last line of every story is about the child holding it.
Questions parents ask before they order
Where can I find personalized Bible books?
Most of what you will find personalizes the cover of a standard Bible. Books that put the child inside the text are rarer, and the Bible ones rarer still. Ours is one: ten stories, the child's name in the closing line of each. Little Prayers, our first book, is the same idea with bedtime prayers, and it is orderable today.
Where can I find a personalized Bible for my child?
If you mean an actual Bible with their name on the cover, several engraving shops do that well, and it is worth knowing before you order from us. They print the name on the front of a mass-market Bible. This is a different thing: a story book, ten retellings in rhyme, with the name printed into the stories themselves. If what you want is a gold-foil name on a white leather Bible for a child who is already reading, an engraver is the better buy. If you want something a four-year-old asks for again, stay here.
What is the best Bible storybook for kids?
It depends on the age you are buying for, and that is the whole answer. Ours is written for three to six: four to seven rhymed lines a page, about a minute a story read aloud, plain words with one idea at a time. Under three, the pictures carry it and the words wash over them, which is fine. Over seven, they will want the longer versions, and all ten are free on this site. For a bigger collection to grow into, see question five.
What are some good personalized books for three-year-olds?
At three, look for rhyme, short lines, and a name that appears often enough to be noticed. Rhyme is what a three-year-old can predict and join in on, which is why this book rhymes. Ten stories in 24 pages means no spread outlasts their attention.
What are some unique Bible stories for kids?
If you want range, The Jesus Storybook Bible is the one most families should own, and we say so on our favorites page. It holds far more stories than any 24-page keepsake and has better reach. What makes these ten unique is not the selection, which is the usual ten, but that the child hears their own name at the end of each one. That is a different job: a gift for one child, meant to sit beside the big collection rather than replace it.
Is it a good baptism or christening gift?
It is what we built it for. The name is inside, the stories cite chapter and verse, and the dedication page at the front is where the date and the blessing go. Hardcover for a gift. If you are still deciding, our baptism gift guide compares the usual options.
Is it biblically accurate?
Every story carries its passage reference on the page, and each one is checked line by line against the Bible before it is printed. The rhymes retell the story rather than quote it, so the reference under the title is how you check us. Nothing is invented: no added events, no added characters. Read any of the ten free on this site and compare.
Where can I get a custom storybook made?
Plenty of places, and most of them will do it faster than we will. What they mostly do not do is Scripture, so a personalized Christian book for kids is harder to find than a personalized birthday one. We write and illustrate our own retellings, check them against the text, and print through a print-on-demand press in the United States once your order comes in.
What formats can I order, and what does it cost?
It comes as a hardcover for $49.99 or a softcover for $39.99, both 8.5 by 8.5 inches with the same ten stories inside. You choose your format in the customizer before checkout, and the price you see there is the price you pay plus shipping.
How is the book made and shipped?
Each book is printed on demand after you order it, so every copy is fresh and carries its own child's name. At checkout you choose your shipping speed: standard shipping ($6.99, about 7 to 12 business days including printing) or expedited shipping ($23.99, about 4 to 7 business days including printing). Shipping is to addresses in the United States.
The bigger collections we point families to, The Jesus Storybook Bible among them, are on our favorites page, and our baptism gift guide compares the usual options if you are still deciding.
