I GUESS I SHOULD HAVE READ ABOUT THIS BOOK MORE CAREFULLY. I WAS EXPECTING NICE RICH COLORFUL PICTURES AND TO MY DISMAY THERE WERE NONE! ALL PHOTOGRAPHS ARE IN BLACK AND WHITE. 5 STARS I GUESS FOR THE CONTENT OF THE TEXT BUT 0 STARS FOR THE PHOTOS. SO DISSAPOINTING. POTENTIAL BUYERS PLEASE TAKE NOTE!

This version of Walking the Bible is good for children. There are wonderful illustrations. I purchased this copy for our church after our book group read the "adult" version. They are both wonderful books, and should be made part of church libraries. Wonderful bits of history in with the narration, also.

A nice surprise, I wasn't expecting.

FYI, if you're looking for beautiful color photos of these areas, see some of the other books by this author.

I'm sure you could find a perfect match!

I purchased this book to give my children a good idea of Bible time geography and what I received was some interesting facts about the Holy lands mixed in with poor theology and a lack of Bible knowledge. The author includes references to "10 million" years ago as well as presenting a God who had to send plagues on Egypt to get Pharaoh to let God's people go (no mention of God hardening Pharaoh's heart). If there would have been color pictures (like his book for adults), I could have edited the content and still received what I was looking for. However, the line drawings - as interesting as they are - don't make the information any clearer. If you're looking for a book that esteems the authority of the Bible, this is not the book for you.

I loved the idea of this book. I really disliked the execution.

He didn't walk the bible. He didn't tell me anything I didn't know. And he didn't write this for kids. He wrote a big book and thought if I pare it down, I can sell it again for more money.

I agree with the photos -- bad quality. And I really didn't care about all the problems he ran into. Describe to me what I cannot see myself.

Don't waste your time on this.

My son and I really enjoyed the photso and stories from the Holy Land in this book.
