Review
This Bible storybook is written on an older-elementary level, but its strength is as a reference work. Photos, drawings, maps, timelines, and charts fill the pages. It's a treasury of historical, cultural, geographical, and archaeological information. Biblical people, places, events, buildings, clothing, worship, food, and travel all come alive in this fascinating book. This large, beautifully illustrated hardcover book would be a terrific addition to any home or classroom. (Children's Ministry, September/October 1999)
