For someone who has tried to read the Bible several times but been unsuccessful at keeping it up due to the conplexity of the language used, this book was golden. In it, Pearl S Buck retells the bible stories in an interesting and informative way. I have read the book through over several days and could not wait until evening when I would have time to get back to the stories. I was also able to retain the stories and their meanings. It would be a great for primer for pre-teen kids and, of course, adults.

Pearl Buck's Story Bible is in the same league with Jesse Lyman Hurlbut's and Elsie Egermeier's books (Bible stories rewritten with children in mind.) Of the three, Buck's was written most recently. Buck's rendition of the Bible stories is intelligent, detailed, and reverent. One father of four told me this was the best book he's ever read!

Parents should purchase at least one Bible story book for their family library, and this is an excellent choice.

This is the only Bible story book I will use for my grandkids.
Buck knows the scriptures and respects them. She writes very well. She sticks very close to what is written in the Bible without alot of conjecture to enhance the story. That makes it valuable to me.

Someone started reading this wonderful book to my 90 year old mama and she wanted her own when they were finished. However it is out of print. I was able to secure a brand new one on this site. It is all the stories many of us know from the Bible in "plain" English. A nice addition to any library and might be a lot of comfort to any oldsters a person might visit.

I read this book from the library , You will LOVE it , If you ever wanted to read the BIBLE and found it hard to understand this will so keep your interest you will not want to put it down. Makes reading the true BIBLE so much more easier and understanding

I love reading it! Never have I been able to find reading the stories of the Bible more enjoyable or clear. The stories are told in the order that they happen and in clear language that flows well! A good book for anyone who has ever felt daunted by the task of reading the Bible! This will give you the base to then go to the Bible with a better understanding of what is happening, when it is happening, and why! I am so thankful that Pearl Buck took the time to write it!!

Did not want to put it down. Just wish it went through the entire Bible.

Pearl Buck won the Nobel Prize for Lit for The Good Earth. She was raised by her missionary parents in China. In The Story Bible. She take away many religious implications and leaves us with the great story that the bible is.

I purchased 3 of these books, they were all in great condition, great shipping and packaging. Will use this seller again.

Seller gave good honest description of condition of book. And book arrived just as said...or maybe even in better condition than stated.
Was very pleased with the ease of ordering and the prompt delivery of the book.
It would be very nice to see a picture of the book and the copyright date and/or publishing company of books being offered to sell. I was looking for a specific issue of this book to give to someone as a gift. Since the seller listed the publishing company of the book in their details, I knew this was the one I wanted.
