The Story of the Bible by Larry Stone







I was captivated from the moment I opened the package.



This has truly been one of the most comprehensive accounts of the Bible and it's 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.
I received this book free from the publisher through the BookSneeze.com book review bloggers program. I was not required to write a positive review, and the opinions I have expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR, Part 255.
