Summary: 365 Read-Aloud Bedtime Bible Stories
Review: A great way to introduce preschoolers to more than just the most popular Bible stories. This book goes straight through the Bible in short 2-3 minute stories, with two simple questions at the end of each. My 4-year-old begs me to read it to her each night. I let her pick out a few from anywhere in the book (usually chosen because of the pictures), which I read. Then I read 2 or 3, going through the book in order. This way, she gets to satisfy her curiosity about some of the pictures that have intrigued her, and I get the satisfaction of knowing that she's getting the full picture of the Bible, by reading straight through. Very highly recommended!

Summary: Excellent book for reading to children.
Review: I am a mother of three children. I have used this book for years to read at bedtime. Children ages 5-10 love to answer the questions at the end of each story. Each story is approximately 10-12 minutes long and is true to the Bible.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great intro to Christianity
Review: I am a non-Christian trying to learn more about Christianity, and I have found that these Bedtime Bible Stories are a great place to start. Although they were written for younger kids, the language is not too simple as to be annoying for me, a college student, to read as I have found with other Christian books aimed at kids. I had been flipping through several of those books. Since I don't know much about Christianity, I wanted basic information presented in a clear, simple manner that went into at least some detail, and it had to be something that would keep my attention. I like how this book cites the corresponding Bible verses for each story (as any decent book of this kind should) so that I can also easily go to the original source. I'm still only on the first few stories from Genesis, but this book has already proven to be invaluable as one of the tools I'm using to learn more about Christianity.

Summary: Loved this book!
Review: I truly used it as a bedtime book. The stories are engaging, questions if you want them, and it's a great way to read your kids through the Bible!

Summary: Great intro to Christianity
Review: Jesse Hurlbut has done us a great service by producing what is in reality a condensed bible with lots of little illustrations.

I bought 365 Read Aloud Bedtime Bible Stories to read to my 4 year old, but the language in the book is not simplified enough for very young children. It is at the level of, say, The Good News Bible.

However, I'm really enjoying reading this one myself now! The author has given us a 365 page "Best Of The Bible", which moves from Genesis right through to Revelations, and does so with clarity and faithfulness as a new, highly readable, very condensed translation-in-its-own-right.

I really feel that this book really fills a need as a legitimate Bible primer, for all ages. It certainly doesn't insult the adult, but children from 10 years can also enjoy it on their own. And I have not seen any better introduction to all the main storylines of both Old and New Testaments.

This book is a bargain, and mine now has its own place amongst my various Bibles, but I do think there is an opportunity for the book to be re-titled as a unique Bible primer for all ages, with the world's easiest 365 day reading plan!

Very highly recommended, but not for the advertised purpose - unless your kids are a bit older than mine. Cheers Ross Kelly

Summary: Great book!
Review: My daughter loves this book. So does my wife!!! She is new to Christianity and reading this book to our daughter gave her a great place for her to start her own study of Sacred Scripture.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Easy format for kids to understand
Review: We hav started reading these stories to my 4 - year old daughter and she enjoys them. Each story is a page long with two questions at the bottom. The questions are usually simple, but help to reinforece the story. I can also see why others have said this would be a good book for adults wanting to learn about Christianity.

I don't know if I would recommend this book as an introductory to Christianity, but for a new Christian trying to understand the Bible this would be a great book. Many new Christians have felt intimidated going to church and seeing others who seem to know all the Bible stories by heart. This book can be a quick introduction to the stories. But I would not recommend this to be your only source. Get an easy translation of the Bible and rad along with these stories and that will be helpful.
