Till today I can still remember the pictures inside the family bible of my grandmother. The pictures that we see as children stay in our memory and it characterizes our imagination. And this is how the idea of creating a bible for children who can not yet read came. To open to them an own access to the bible stories.

This bible for children should become a little treasure which they like to have with them to always have a look at the pictures. When we had found the material (resistant to tearing and biting, waterproof..) that enables the little book to stay in a childs pocket for a long time the name had been fixed: Jeans Pocket Bible. The pictures of the pocket bible want to encourage children, parents, brother and sister, grandmother and grandfather, aunt and uncle, all those they love to ask: Please tell me the story to this picture.

Because we know that adults can only hint at the biblical stories we have developed a help to tell and we offer tale seminar and tale workshops that give opportunity to all the interested person to discover the biblical stories anew and to learn how to tell the children about it. ,,,,,,,,,Horst Heinemann
