A resource section includes ideas for how to experience peace with God, self, others, and creation, as well as maps, Bible background information, interactive ways to pray, and prayers for many occasions.

To say that I’ve been waiting my whole life for a storybook Bible like The Peace Table is no exaggeration. As a child, I knew God was for everyone, yet I longed to see tangible imagery that reminded me of His presence in my story. As a mother, I’ve fielded years of questions from children wondering aloud about the imago Dei while wrestling with their identity in a fallen world. The Peace Table fills the spaces of doubt that can distract children from the Word by offering stunning illustrations across mediums set in various locations and featuring people, including Jesus, in multiple ethnic manifestations. The result is a brilliant artistic endeavor bathed in scripture, prayer prompts, and background information to help all families study the Bible with confidence, reverence, and an open heart.

The Peace Table is an excellent resource for anyone looking to help children in their life begin an authentic, lifelong hermeneutical journey. Many children’s Bibles either ignore hard topics or offer violent stories without context. The Peace Table not only presents difficult stories in an age-appropriate way; it also provides resources that help adults and children alike work through what those stories might mean—and all while being beautifully and inclusively illustrated. The feature that allows children to track their own peace path throughout the entire Bible is unparalleled.

This book is stunning! I am especially impressed with the thoughtful portrayal of the Bible stories, the impactful artwork, and all the extras, including types of prayers and ways to find peace with God, self, others, and creation. I cannot wait to begin using all of it in my ministry!

With theological and contextual faithfulness, The Peace Table magnifies God’s movement for peace in the Hebrew Bible, the life of Jesus, and the emergence of the ekklesia. Children and the adults who read alongside them will linger over the captivating illustrations that bring biblical scenes to life with creativity and depth. The text is delightfully narrated, clear and profound. I have never seen a children’s Bible with such integrity to the original texts, beauty in art and prose, emphasis on the theme of peace, and anti-oppression commitment that pervades the entire project. I will heartily recommend this to Christian educators and seminary students, read it with my children, and draw from it to nourish my own soul.

Every vibrant page of The Peace Table centers and celebrates the vivid vision of shalom at the heart of the Bible in ways that I have not seen in any other children’s Bible storybook. It lovingly invites readers of all ages and backgrounds to encounter Jesus who is our peace, consider why that matters, and reflect on how we can follow him in our daily lives. It is a storybook I wish I had while raising my three children.
The Peace Table is a beautifully illustrated Bible storybook by a diverse group of primarily women artists. It is a theologically Anabaptist, Jesus-centered Bibles for children that celebrates the diverse, vibrant, and flavorful table of God, where everyone is welcome.
