The Book of Books





Description:
The Bible, the story of God's people, has been passed down through the generations. But how often does a combination of the complex or outdated language, the extensive genealogy lists, and the unfamiliar culture stand in the way of young readers' understanding of a truly great story?
In The Book of Books, Trevor Dennis uses his natural gift for storytelling to create a story everyone can understand and enjoy reading. Young readers will appreciate Dennis's honest and simple way of retelling the most famous Bible stories. Written in novel form, each chapter--from the story of creation in Genesis to the description of the Heavenly City found in Revelation--transitions smoothly into the next.


My Thoughts:


The Bible can be a bit intimidating to read, especially for children.  The Book of Books retells Bible stories in a very reader-friendly manner.  The words are entertaining and engaging without being overly simplified. Trevor Dennis makes children (and adults) want to read more!  My family and I really enjoyed The Book of Books particularly because we were learning more about the Bible in a fun way.  The Book of Books would be a wonderful addition to your home library!
