Look no further: The Jesus Storybook Bible (https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00GLLP7TG/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1). 4.9 out of 5 stars on Amazon, with thousands of reviews. It contains the most significant stories in the bible without the genealogies, prophecy, theological teachings, and so forth.
I remember having a picture book that taught exactly this as a kid in the 90s. It is called The Pumpkin Patch Parable and you can still get it on Amazon.

How is it similar to/different from The Jesus Storybook Bible by Sally Lloyd-Jones?
Your son is 3? This has been amazing for my family. Sometimes I come out in tears... Just read these after breakfast or dinner. I think there are study guides/questions to go with it.

We reaaaally love to read this childrens bible: the Jesus storybook Bible. Every story whispers His name. amazon link
The stories are close to the bible translations and it really tells why we need Jesus. It is full of love, even the stories like satan in the garden or Noah’s boat.
Sometimes, when no one is saying "I love you", it helps to be told that you are loved and lovely. When you feel like you need to be rescued, it is good to be told that there's a rescuer. A book that helped me, and that I still read is The Jesus Storybook Bible by Sally Lloyd-Jones.
Suggested this earlier, and was downvoted to oblivion. Maybe this time folks will care more about the question being answered than their bias. But I doubt it.
Sometimes it helps to have a story framed in a way you haven't seen before. Sometimes it helps to learn that your experience isn't the limit of human experience. Sometimes it helps to be told or reminded that you fit into the story.
Ummm... here we go again with the Mormon plagiarism.

I also think the ending rather ODD when one contemplates the actual origin and lore of the jack o’lantern
After trying a bunch I’ve found the Beginners Bible to be best. Great pictures and very short stories - simplifies in a helpful way and great for short attention spans.

I also like the Jesus Storybook Bible for the overall narrative but I’ve found with my 2 1/2 year old it’s a bit long still. Probably best for a bit older.

It's not specifically geared towards Christmas, I think the Jesus Storybook Bible does an excellent job at both (a) telling the Christmas story and (b) tying everything together from the OT to the NT. Even in the creation story and the earliest chapters, it does a great job of constantly referencing the coming of Christ.

The Story of Easter is about Easter, but it explains the gospel really well and you could use it year round with your kids like I do.
Okay I've got a question! I used to have this huge gold leafed, beautifully illustrated bible stories book when I was a kid. I remember it having a sky blue hardcover and being quite thick, however I was like...five maybe when I received it, so in my memories it's this giant thing. ANYWAY, does anyone know what I'm talking about? I've tried googling illustrated bible stories and I can't find it, I have no idea who the author was. I can still see the pictures in my mind clear as day. I'd love to have a copy of it for my girls, or something similar.
Edit: I FOUND IT!!! A reviewer was nice enough to include a ton of photos of the illustrations and I recognized them! http://www.amazon.com/The-Complete-Illustrated-Childrens-Bible/dp/0736962131/ref=pd_bxgy_14_img_3?ie=UTF8&refRID=1C2B9H3H6AWR1SDXVRFD
I don't know if this has been said but I too struggle with this. Got baptized very recently and was feeling the same way. Two books that have really helped are "Mere Christianity" as mentioned already, but I'd also recommend the "Jesus Story book bible." We're both infants in our faith and this book is perfect for us. I gotta say, it's really helped me quite a bit. I hope this helps you out, good luck, and God bless you. Welcome to the family! Link to book:
