5.0 out of 5 stars Accurate, very readable, thorough, September 11, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Egermeier's Bible Story Book (Paperback)

We are a homeschool family and have used Egermeier's Bible Story Book to give our children a complete overview of scripture in preparation for reading on their own. Excellent for adults who have never read through the bible and want a faster way to get the whole picture. This story bible includes more stories than others we've seen and tackles some of the more difficult issues gracefully. Although simplified, the content is not "dumbed down". This one gets passed on..

This review is from: Egermeier's Bible Story Book (Paperback)

The finest, most biblically accurate children's bible story book I've ever seen. Originally printed in 1923, this book brings biblical truths alive in over 275 stories which have enlightened and emboldened my six year old with God's word. Controversial subject/situations; adultery (King David), murder, multiple wives (Jacob, etc.), homosexuality (Sodom & Gomorah), etc.are treated sensitively, respectfully, without error, but entirely appropriate for kids. I am making this a MUST gift for all new parents.

This review is from: Egermeier's Bible Story Book (Hardcover)

I have read numerous Bible story books with my ds (age 7) over the years. We probably own ten different ones, easily. Most have cartoonish pictures and repeat the same stories with the same basic parts of the story (leaving out lots of details). We read Egermeier's last year, and we are more than half way through it a second time. He just absolutely loves it. It was not unusual at all for him to beg me to keep reading!

Egermeier's has almost all the Bible stories there are (with a very few exceptions). Those stories that ds had heard many times before often included details he hadn't heard before. It made the Bible come alive for him. Any Bible story book that leaves the children begging for more is a winner in my book! It was enjoyable to me to read it as well.

I would highly recommend it to any one who wants to move on to something meatier than your run of the mill cartoonish Bible story book for children. I also think it is worth reading through for a second time. It is definitely a keeper!
