I had ordered based on the picture. The picture provided in the description looks nothing like the book that I received. I got this for my sister, because it was identical, or supposed to be identical, to the one that we had as children. It’s kind of sad that I paid for a memory, and I have no memory or nostalgia connected with this book.😔

Great stories but not the whole book I was expecting.

I love this Bible story book but the one I purchased only included the stories of Jesus. Be aware if you are interested in the whole book. Great pictures and stories are easy to understand. This was my favorite Bible story book growing up.

A wonderful step above most children's Bible story books.

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!

The Best Bible Story Book We Own!

We own many Bible story books, but this one is my favorite. We read from this book every day, and the kids love it. It includes stories that are left out of many children's Bible story books. It is wonderful to read in order, and it really keeps the attention of the children. When it's time to shut the book, my kids say, "What's the story for tomorrow called, Mommy?", because they so look forward to reading this book.

Egermeier's Bible Story Book

This is a book that I have read and had read to me many times. It is the Bible Story Book that my parents read to me before I was old enough to read, and I continued to read the wonderful Bible stories on my own for many years. I purchased a copy for my child and each of my grand children as well as the children of many of my relatives. The stories are presented in language that is easy for children to understand, and is exciting for them to hear and read. The only way to really appreciate this book is to read it aloud with children, listen to their questions and comments, and share with them the great stories of the Bible. To say the least, I highly reccommend this wonderful book.

Accurate, very readable, thorough

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..

Superb, rich, Biblically accurate stories

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.
