Egermeier's Bible Story Book

Summary: Best Bible Story Book ever
Review: Elsie Egermeier's retelling is simple and direct. Growing-up I learned the scope and sequence of the Bible as Egermeier's was read front to back again and again. She included most all of the stories and told them without sentiment or apology. Adults will find this a great way to read through the Bible for themselves. Families and teachers will find it a reliable resource for children, youth, and adults.
I wish it were in print.

Summary: Accurate, very readable, thorough
Review: 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.

Summary: Egermeier's Bible Story Book
Review: 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.

Summary: The Best Bible Story Book We Own!
Review: 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.

Summary: Great classic intro to Holy Scripture
Review: We read and understood the stories in this book when we were two years old -- they were that simple and clear. Elsie Egermeier did a great job interpreting Holy Scripture for tiny kids without getting pedantic or avoiding the facts. While it contains both Old and New Testaments, it is suitable for Jewish children. I would choose this book over the smarmy "Uncle Arthur's" or any other retelling of Bible stories for kids. Bring back the old edition, with its classy dark cover with the famous portrait of Christ on it.

Summary: A wonderful Bible story book for kids of all ages
Review: When I was a young girl, I had this Bible story book. And when our children were born, we bought the same book for them. I am now purchasing one for our first grandchild. This Bible story is very true to actual Bible, which is very important. There are no denominational "spins" on the greatest story every told. The individual stories are short enough for a bedtime story. The reading level is easy for a young child to understand when the stories are read to them, but a high enough level that older children enjoy them as well. I highly recommend this Bible story book for anyone wanting their children or grandchildren to learn the real truth of God's word.
