"The Story of The Bible" by Larry Stone


I have been thoroughly enjoying the book “The Story of The Bible” by Larry Stone which I received free from Thomas Nelson through the www.booksneeze.com program in exchange for my honest review. I have never been so impressed with the quality and design of a book before I read “The Story of The Bible”. The layout, photographs, time lines and 23 life sized pull out pages are exquisite. It has the design and look of a coffee table show piece but the practicality of a go to study guide. The text is informative but deeply interesting and reads almost like a novel, not like a typical history book. There is a wealth of obscure information about how the cannon of the Bible came to be what we have today. Much of the information you will never hear from the pulpit or small groups. I was amazed by all of the detailed information on translating Hebrew and the given examples. This book is a must have for anyone desiring a deeper understanding of the Bibles origin or building a Bible based personal library. This book would also be a great resource as a weekly small group study book.
