A good Bible intro for little folks.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
This is the only Bible story book I will use for my grandkids. Buck knows the scriptures and respects them. She writes very well. She sticks very close to what is written in the Bible without alot of conjecture to enhance the story. That makes it valuable to me.
Pearl Buck book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
Someone started reading this wonderful book to my 90 year old mama and she wanted her own when they were finished. However it is out of print. I was able to secure a brand new one on this site. It is all the stories many of us know from the Bible in "plain" English. A nice addition to any library and might be a lot of comfort to any oldsters a person might visit.
A wonderful, classic retelling
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Pearl Buck's Story Bible is in the same league with Jesse Lyman Hurlbut's and Elsie Egermeier's books (Bible stories rewritten with children in mind.) Of the three, Buck's was written most recently. Buck's rendition of the Bible stories is intelligent, detailed, and reverent. One father of four told me this was the best book he's ever read! Parents should purchase at least one Bible story book for their family library, and this is an excellent choice.
The "plain language" Bible
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
For someone who has tried to read the Bible several times but been unsuccessful at keeping it up due to the conplexity of the language used, this book was golden. In it, Pearl S Buck retells the bible stories in an interesting and informative way. I have read the book through over several days and could not wait until evening when I would have time to get back to the stories. I was also able to retain the stories and their meanings. It would be a great for primer for pre-teen kids and, of course, adults.
