Makes a Great Gift Bible,
By
This review is from: Classic Bible Stories (Hardcover)
Reason for Reading: We have religion as a subject every day M-TH, part of this included reading Bible stories. We read from this book every other week, the book came with our curriculum and I hadn't seen it before hand.Comments: A retelling of the Bible through selected stories. No version of the Bible is given as a source, so one must assume it is a complete retelling. The book is from a non-denominational point of view and should be accessible to everyone, as it was to this Catholic reader. While containing a fair selection of Old Testament Stories the emphasis is on The New Testament. All the popular stories are contained and overall it is useful and edifying Bible. I will admit that at first glance I was unsure of it's use as it does appear simple. Each story is a two page spread with the left-hand side containing the text and the right hand side containing an illustration. The gave me the impression the stories would be dumbed down and missing their essence. I couldn't have been more wrong though. They are well-written at a high enough reading level (5/6) to contain a rich vocabulary and while the more adult situations have been left out the stories are true to the Bible, imho. Each one caused several minutes of teaching and discussion afterwards. Also I can't end without saying that the book itself is highly pleasant to look at. With puffy boards, gilt edges, a ribbon bookmark, a presentation space on the front endpage and gorgeous original but old-fashioned looking paintings to illustrate this would make a perfect gift Bible. I'd recommend for ages 6+ to be read aloud or 8+ to be read alone until the child is ready for their own real Bible.

Classic Bible Stories: A Family Treasury - A Review,
By Robert C. Hampton "by Karen Hampton" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Classic Bible Stories (Hardcover)
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. 36 of 38 people found the following review helpful

A GOLDEN-EDGED TREASURE,
By Soaring Heart - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Classic Bible Stories (Hardcover)
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. 17 of 19 people found the following review helpful

Beautiful pictures and short stories are great for bed-time.,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Classic Bible Stories (Hardcover)
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.
