Sue S. from Elkton, MI wrote the following on 02/18/2009:
Egermeier’s Bible Story Book is the very best children’s Bible I have seen (and I have a shelf full of others at home and also at church!). It truly summarizes the entire Bible instead of picking out stories here and there. We took a year to read through this book, and now my daughters have been exposed in a meaningful way to every single story in the Bible. It doesn’t change or omit important parts of stories just to make them child-friendly. Instead, it abridges the stories and changes them into understandable language without “dumbing them down.” After reading the account of Daniel in the lion’s den in Egermeier’s Bible Story Book, my 6-year-old felt pretty upset that other children’s versions of that story omitted some very important details! I’d say it is best for children about age 5 and older because of the length of the stories, though it would still be excellent for younger children who enjoy story time, and definitely good for older children as well. Stories are meant either as read-alouds for younger children, or very good readers could read this to themselves. It is written in smaller print as an adult book would be, and stories are about a page and a half long with one illustration for every few stories. I love it!
