5.0 out of 5 stars Great Addition to Anyone's Personal Library!, January 25, 2010

I recently reviewed for Thomas Nelson Publishers "The Greatest Stories of the Bible".

It was a magnificent book. The design makes you think of something printed one hundred years ago. Then the pages themselves have the old feel to them. Once you open the book and start reading you will be kept glued to the pages as you read each of the two hundred and fifty of the most cherished stories of the Bible.

Some of the classic stories included are Adam and Eve, David and Goliath, Jonah and the Big fish, Samson and Delilah, Paul meeting Jesus, Jesus teaching the disciples, and Paul and Silas in captivity. These are only a few representative of the stories included in this one volume book.

One of the great features of the book is it is easy to navigate through the story-book type format used. If you would like a story to read to the younger kids at night, you can pull this book out and quickly find a wonderful story. The stories are short, but straight to the point. Use the stories to lead the family into a much deeper devotional time as it peeks everyone's interest.

One of my favorite stories was at Moses calling in the wilderness when he meets up with God at the burning bush. Before Moses could approach the bush the Angel of the Lord told Moses, "Do not draw near this place. Take your sandals off your feet, for the place where you stand in holy ground." I love that. Further in the story we have God telling Moses, "I AM WHO I AM!" All throughout the book we find these fantastic biblical accounts of God's great actions towards His people.

I think this book is a great addition to anyones family library. We have thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Must Have For Every House!, May 6, 2010

This review is from: NKJV Greatest Stories of the Bible (Hardcover)

This book is designed to look like a vintage book sitting on your shelf. Fortunately, you get the vintage look without the loose and missing pages. This book is filled with 250 of the greatest stories of the Bible. The stories are listed in the order in which they appear in the Bible and each story quotes the verse the story is taken from. This is not a summarization of the Bible story, but the actually verses from the Bible. This is an excellent resource to turn to when looking for a specific Bible story, yet you don't want to take the time turning through the pages of the Bible to find exactly where it is in that specific book. The translation is easy to read and my children enjoy reading about some of their favorite Bible stories. This is a book every house should have!

5.0 out of 5 stars Definitely Worthwhile For Your Family Library, March 26, 2010

This review is from: NKJV Greatest Stories of the Bible (Hardcover)

This hardback, collectible edition is a great family resource to have on hand. It is not a version of the Bible, but rather is a unique compilation of 250 best-known Bible stories. These stories are in fact excerpts of the Bible taken from the New King James Version. Each story gives the chapter of the Bible from which it was taken. The stories are in order from Genesis to Revelation and the book also includes a great table of contents at the beginning for easy reference.

I enjoyed reading through this book and found the easy format very conducive to reading a lot or a little at a time. It would be ideal for personal enjoyment, family devotions, or reading aloud to your children. The index at the back of the book makes it easy to find a story about a certain Bible character (i.e., Joshua or Moses) or a certain event (i.e., battle of Jericho or plagues).
