NKJV Greatest Stories of the Bible

The Greatest Stories of the Bible has been a great addition to our library. The Bible is written in a storybook New King James Version format. It does not include the entire Bible from Genesis to Revelation, but 250 of the greatest events in the Bible. The reason I like it so much is that I have both an eight and three year old that like reading stories. With this book, I can take the lesson they learned in Sunday school from the Bible, and expand on it with this Bible. There is a table of contents and an index, so finding specific events are easy to find. Now I don’t have to worry about which chapter in what book did Jacob dream about the ladder to heaven. Greatest Stories of the Bible are listed according to their order in the complete Bible, so there is no real skipping around. That would have been a little too confusing, mixing New and Old Testament. I commend Thomas Nelson for putting together such a good quality book. The paper stock used and the cover added to the high quality of the book. This is a great book for anyone looking for a family devotional or a good bedtime read.
