Thank you to BookSneeze® for providing a free copy of this book for me to review.
This has truly been one of the most comprehensive accounts of the Bible and its history that I have ever read. Even the pages seem so delicately crafted, and as I turned each one in anticipation, I learned one more fact about this precious book-The Bible. The Story of the Bible takes us on a journey through history and gives an account of those who paid the price. From the Lollards of the fifteenth century who taught the authority of the Scripture over the authority of the priests (who were burned alive with Bibles hung around their necks) to Rachel Saint in the 1950s who translated the Gospel of Mark into the Waodani language (the same people who brutally murdered her brother Nate and four other missionaries-which included Jim Elliot)-the stories were captivating. If one had any doubt regarding the fight these early Christians faced, this book will be a strong reminder of the value of the book we hold so dear.
I was amazed at the ease of reading the book provided. Each sentence was filled with so much information, yet it was written on a level that could easily be presented to a child. It would almost serve as a textbook on the History of God's Word. From the quality of the book to the quality of the words contained in its pages, The Story of the Bible by Larry Stone is a must read for anyone interested in the history of the Bible.
This book provides a lot of insight into the bible and is a good read. I rate this book a 5 out of 5. I highly recommend this book. It helps to fill in any gaps you may have.
