As a children's book editor, you develop and oversee publications for a wide range of ages and target audiences. Additionally, you are responsible for editing Bijbel Basics, our successful method for Sunday school. You work closely with fellow editors, subject matter experts, designers, authors, and illustrators. Together, you create publications that help children and teenagers discover, understand, and apply the Bible in their lives.
Our youth fund includes beloved titles such as the Picture Bible, the Look-and-See Bible, the Shared Reading Bible, and various Bibles for young people.
