I just recently finished reading the Precious Moments Storybook Bible that I received for free from BookSneeze.com. This website is awesome and I plan on taking full advantage of it as much as possible!!! Below you can read my short and sweet review of this adorable book :)
This Children's Bible is adorable with Precious Moments illustrations, how can it go wrong? I enjoyed the twist on a traditional Bible format by mixing up the stories into different categories, and also eliminating the chapter/verse format... great idea for young readers!!! On the contrast, I have mixed emotions about the content... being a religious book, I was disappointed sometimes by the casual way that the stories were worded. I personally want my children to know their scripture stories and to know their scriptures!!! With little actual biblical text, sometimes the meaning brought across may not be the meaning that was meant for the reader as I believe religious texts to have very individual personal meanings... All in all, this book was a good option for young Bible study, but not the best...
Although not my favorite Bible reading experience ever, I figure I can't go wrong reading a religious text over all the other literary trash that is out there (and I use the term "literary" lightly)...
