Bible stories centered on belonging and diversity

With 42 stories spanning the Old and New Testaments, this illustrated collection pairs familiar biblical narratives with less often featured stories, including many centered on women. Its approach brings identity, diversity, contemplation, and wonder into the reading experience through mindful practices and guided prompts for reflection. The illustrations depict people across a range of ages, abilities, body shapes, and skin colors; the book also uses original Hebrew and Greek names. Together, these elements frame the stories around the book’s message that every person belongs in God’s love.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 9–12 exploring Bible stories
  • Families seeking an illustrated Bible storybook that emphasizes diversity and belonging
  • Adults and children interested in reflective practices alongside scripture

Book overview

A beautifully illustrated Bible storybook to help the next generation of kids understand the rich diversity of God's people, emphasizing identity, contemplation, and wonder.

The Book of Belonging is designed for families seeking a Bible storybook that reflects the diversity of God's people and for every reader seeking a more expansive and wondrous view of God. The thoughtful text and rich illustrations present some of Scripture's most important and overlooked stories--including many female-centered ones--alongside old favorites reimagined to convey greater inclusivity, diversity, and historical representation.

Through narratives, mindful practices, and guided wonder moments, children and grown-ups alike will learn who God is and be reminded over and over that God tells each of us, "You are Beloved, you Belong, and you are Delightful." Because when it comes to the love of God, everyone belongs.

- Rich, vibrant illustrations on every page, showcasing a variety of body shapes, ages, abilities, and skin colors
