TheBigPictureInteractiveBibleStorybook-webB&H Kids will release The Big Picture Interactive Bible Storybook on November 15 in an attempt to engage the tech-savvy younger generation in innovative ways.

The book features 146 stories and full-color illustrations that interact with a free Augmented Reality app that is available for download from the Apple or Android app stores. When scanned with the app, each image digitally “pops up” and an audio narration about the story is played. Also included are 18 QR codes within the book that connect readers to Bible Story videos.

The Big Picture Interactive Bible Storybook is also a major companion to LifeWay’s The Gospel Project for Kids curriculum and features Christ Connections that connect the story of Christ from Genesis to Revelation. Each story also features a “Big Picture Question” and “Big Picture Answer” for additional discussion.

“There are a number of wonderful Bible storybooks already in the market and we wanted The Big Picture Interactive Bible Storybook to really be special, diving deep into both popular stories as well as those not included in other titles,” said Dan Lynch, lead acquisitions editor for B&H Kids. “We want to be on the cutting edge with technology with the goal of engaging this ‘connected’ generation of kids with the gospel message.”
