NKJV Greatest Stories of the Bible

NKJV Greatest Stories of the Bible
Publisher: Thomas Nelson
Hardcover pp. 624
Religion

Greatest Stories of the Bible is a fantastic collection of 250 of the most well known stories of the bible.  Hardbound and designed as a treasury.  This is not a bible but a heirloom edition which uses portions of scripture taken from the New King James Version.  Stories include: In the Beginning...The Creation of the World, Adam and Eve Challenge God, Noah Saves His Family, Joseph's Coat of Many Colors, The Ten Commandments, Jesus' Birth and many many more.

I loved reading this edition of bible stories.  My favorite version of the bible is the King James Version but I'll be honest at times it's a little hard to get the full meaning.  This beautiful heirloom edition takes the NKJV and puts the stories into easy to understand language without taking anything away from the translation.  You still get scripture and the feel of reading a bible.  This is a great book to have and lends itself to reading out loud to your children or anyone.  I love having this book in my collection.  There are no photos in the book and I admit I would have loved to see some but the stories are told in a way that the imagination creates its own photos.  I would recommend this book to anyone young or old.  It's a great addition to anyone's library and will be treasured for years to come.
