Excellent condition

The Book came in excellent condition and shipping it out was on time. thanks

A good Bible intro for little folks.

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.

Pearl Buck book

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.

Love Pearl Buck

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.

A wonderful, classic retelling

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.
