The Story of the Bible by Larry Stone

Hi! I just got a great book from booksneeze- “The Story of the Bible” by Larry Stone. Before I tell you how cool it is, let me tell you that due to some long law thing, I don’t have to give this book a good review, so everything I say is completely how I feel about it. “The Story of the Bible” really is a fantastic read- it gives a nice history of the Bible, from the beginning- when it was first put on paper (or papyrus?)- up to modern day efforts to get the Bible out to unreached peoples by translating it, giving them out, and sending missionaries to the far flung places to teach the people there God’s word. Something else that makes this a truly extraordinary Bible history book is that is has pockets placed in intervals throughout the book with printed pages (not the originals, they’re copies) from Bible transcripts through the years- there’s a page from Isaiah that was part of the Dead Sea Scrolls, a portion of 1 Samuel (and pictures!) from the Morgan Crusader’s Bible, circa 1240, and chapter of Mark from the Bible that was given to the Waodani Tribe of South America. I love history, so this book really was a fantastic thing for me. Be warned- when I ordered this, I thought it was just a small paperback book. In reality, it’s really a big book- it barely fits into my bookshelf. But the content more than makes up for the sizeJ
