The NKJV Greatest Stories of the Bible is probably the best book I've reviewed for Thomas Nelson. I'm so impressed. The cover is beautiful---hardbound, without a dust jacket, so the photo you see is exactly like the actual cover looks. An heirloom piece.What first attracted it to me was the idea of having an easier-to-read Bible available for our younger children. It doesn't look prissy or too valuable to tuck under your arm and tote around. It's very user-friendly. And while the translation is NKJV, the chapters read like a storybook. Yes, verses are omitted for the flow of the stories, but the truths remain intact. That said, it pays to remember that this isn't an actual Bible, but a book of Bible stories. There is a difference.
I highly recommend this book especially for families with children. What a wonderful book to have for snuggling in bed.
