Classic Bible Stories: A Family Treasury - A Review, August 30, 2006
This review is from: Classic Bible Stories: A Family Treasury (Hardcover)
Classic Bible Stories: A Family Treasury provides an excellent overview of the Bible. It is the best unbiased view of the Bible for youth that I have ever encountered.
The initial appeal of this book for children and adults alike is found in the beautifully illustrated pages of the book. The colors are rich and the realistic form is attractive.
Lise Caldwell stayed true to the original source content of the Bible and often included details that came as a pleasant surprise when double-checked for accuracy in the original Scriptures.
As a former school teacher, I found this book invaluable in constructing a Bible curriculum for a local private school. My students scored very high on standardized tests on Bible knowledge compared to students in other similar schools.
Eventually, I was asked to share my teaching skills in this area with other educators at an area conference with the Association of Christian Schools International. It was a pleasure to cite Classic Bible Stories: A Family Treasury as my primary source.
I have definitely selected Classic Bible Stories: A Family Treasury by Lise Caldwell as a first choice for gifts for children of family and friends.

A GOLDEN-EDGED TREASURE, October 24, 2001
This review is from: Classic Bible Stories: A Family Treasury (Hardcover)
This is a terrific book, my daughter loves it! On the cover, it has Joseph sleeping in his coat of many colors, dreaming of the sheaves bowing down to his sheaf. Throughout the entire book there is a realistic, vividly colored, full-page illustration to go with each story. The stories are not too long are too short. I can read two stories a night to my daughter (she's three) and also some other books. She loves the pictures and listens to the stories attentively. A FAMILY TREASURY CLASSIC BIBLE STORIES contains 33 popular Old Testament stories, and 42 well-known New Testament stories; each your children will enjoy and learn a great deal from. I've been looking for a collection such as this since my daughter was born and this is the first one that I liked enough to purchase. I believe you will enjoy it as much as your kids do, I know I do! Enjoy.

Beautiful pictures and short stories are great for bed-time., August 26, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Classic Bible Stories: A Family Treasury (Hardcover)
We received this book as a birthday gift and now spend each night reading two stories. The pictures are absolutely beautiful and the stories only take a minute or two to read. This book is now a permanent part of our bedtime routine. My six year old loves it and asks for it each night.
