Bedtime Bible Story Book
|
As a previous reviewer stated, there are two books that have very similar cover pictures, but very different text. I own the version that was authored by Jesse Hurlbut. It does not have a red outlining the cover, and author's name appears on the front cover. I was looking for it to purchase for a friend and discovered that there are two versions. When you click to "see inside" for either version, you see the text from the non-Hurlbut version.
The Hurlbut version is appropriate for elementary age and above. It does not limit the daily reading to one page. Most are about a page and a half. It has a very readable, warm tone. It is interesting and gives some historical perspective and understanding that I appreciate. One particularly difficult-to-understand story is the story of Jephthah's Promise. I was impressed with the insight the author gave for this story. I haven't read the whole book, but what I have read does show God as compassionate.
I would very highly recommend the Hurlbut version(*****). From what I read of the other version, I would not buy it. It seems to lack the warmth, and story-telling flavor of the Hurlbut version. If you are looking for a Bible for a preschool child, I think there are many other storybooks with much more appealing color illustrations. I personally like the two by Kenneth Taylor: Bible in Pictures for Little Eyes (for the very young) and Family Time Bible (for 4-5 year olds).
If you decide to buy this, be sure you know exactly which version you are purchasing.
