The Beginner's Bible: Timeless Children's Stories

1985Karyn Henley

4.5/5

I was given this book by one of my Pastor's when I was very young. It's a collection of re-written (and admittedly dumbed-down) stories from the recorded events in the Holy Bible. For children, this is a really good book for them to read. I remember reading this cover to cover once when way back when. For the age that I (probably, anyway) was (like, 5 or 6), this made the stories come to life. Today, reading it alongside the KJV Bible, it made that translation of the Bible make more sense in places. As sad as that sounds (LoL). The KJV didn't age very well, in my honest opinion, over the centuries; but I digress.This not-so-little book also skips over a lot of stuff that you probably wouldn't want your young child reading about yet, anyway. Once you read the Holy Bible cover to cover, you read some things that aren't always incredibly pleasant. This "dumbed-down" version, as I called it in the previous paragraph, serves as a great introduction to the Bible for children. Henley did a good job wording things for children, as well.As a side note (as ridiculous as it seems), I actually laughed out loud two or three times while reading, and multiple times because of the illustrations (Not because they're bad, but because they'd make great memes). I'm gonna give it 3 stars.
