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.

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.

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.

Every two year old that graduates from our church's nursery receives one of these books. The book is well-written and beautifully bound and illustrated. It makes a wonderful presentation as a gift and will be cherished for years to come by the whole family.

We bought this book for a teenager who had not been raised in church and wanted to learn the Bible stories. It is a great book with beautiful illustrations and the stories are not too childish. I would buy another one.

I ordered this book for my sunday school class and I was VERY
impressed with the book. The pictures are beautifully done and the
stories are wonderful. The children in my class loved them.

My children are now grown - but they remember this book fondly, because of the beautiful art which depicts God's Light and Love on every page. I am still involved in spiritual education for children, so I recently thought to ask my own kids about this book. They would choose it for their own kids, too.

This is a great hard cover Bible stories book for children. These books seem to be getting harder to find and so I was quite pleased to find one of this quality that my child can learn from for years. I have seen better Bible stories books from when I was a child, but for the quality and he price you won't be disapointed in this. Covers much of old and new testament.

I bought two of these for my daughters, ages 9 and 11, for Christmas gifts. It's a beautiful book with gilt edged pages and colorful illustrations. It looks much more expensive than $15, it's very heavy and appears to be bound well. I hope my girls keep them and read the stories to their children when they have them. I just wish I'd bought it sooner so I could have read it to my girls when they were very little.

My granddaughter reads her book daily. Not only has this book helped her with the Bible, but also helping her reading abilities improve.
