I received this book free from the Thomas Nelson Book Sneeze blogger book reviewing program.  This book includes 250 Bible stories retold for adults or older children. This is not a translation of the Bible and therefore should not be given to a new Christian or new student of the Bible. It is also not appropriate for young children due to the advanced language used and lack of illustrations.  The book itself is attractive looking though and would make a nice addition to ones coffee table or library.

I think it is best suited for someone who is familiar with the biblical accounts as reliably translated in the actual NKJV, ESV, or NIV. The best audience for this book would likely be both a Christian and one who appreciates the art of story telling. It would also be a great addition to family story time at holiday and family gatherings.  I can totally envision Grandpa reading this to his children and grandchildren and pulling his family into the exciting truths of the Bible.  Overall, I would give this book a 3 out of 5 stars.
