NKJV Greatest Stories of the Bible Book Review

Name of Book: NKJV Greatest Stories of the Bible

Published: Thomas Nelson

Pages: 440 Pages

ISBN:1418541664

Type: Hardcover

Price: $29.99

The “NKJV Greatest Stories of the Bible” is a beautiful, bound hardcover story book  featuring, 250 stories from the Bible, starting from Genesis and ending in Revelation that promises to be not only an heirloom for the family, but a wonderful gift idea for the holidays.

 What’s  impressive about this book, is that , although this is not a subsitute for the real thing, the “NKJV Greatest Stories of the Bible“  captures the NKJV language, provides scriptural references for where the stories can be found in the Bible and following the chronological order of the books in the Bible, helps people get the essence of the people who make up the Holy Bible.

What was personally liked about the book, was more than just how well laid out the cover is, but turning the pages and reading the stories, it is easy for anyone, of any age, to just pick up the book, open to a story and find themselves captivated by moments from the Bible.

This is the perfect gift to give for the holidays to not only encourage families to have more storytime , but  just to own in one’s own library for future generations to discover, for themselves, the greatest stories of the Bible.

This was a 7 part series on “Bible 101″ that I had originally written when my blog was hosted on blogspot.com.

In the process of moving it over here, with prayers that this could be a blessing and encouragement to those who feel daunted about reading their bible and in light of reading “Becoming More than a Bible Study Girl”, I wanted to re-introduce these posts to you, Gentle Readers.

 

Resources to consider (and as always…seek first the Word of God and in prayer for discernment for anything you use to study His word):

  • Strong’s Dictionary (English, Hebrew, Greek) was also suggested as well, Thank you Becki for that suggestion!
  • I had received a suggestion at one time, from “Burg” who suggested the following:Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible.
  • My MIL had suggested (and happy to hear from anyone else that may have used this) is,Strong’s Concise Concordance And Vine’s Concise Dictionary Of The Bible Two Bible Reference Classics In One Handy Volume (Hardcover).
  • John MacArthur,”The MacArthur Bible Handbook: The Ultimate Book-by-Book Survey of the Bible (Nelson, 2003)
  • bible-history.com/ (click on “search” and type the place or person you’re studying)

  • Crosswalk.com has some useful bible study tools

  • e-sword is a GREAT and free downloadable bible software with your choices of dictionaires, commentaries and bibles
  • bibleshared.com is a new site that is great for keeping/sharing online notes, it has a great bible reading progress chart (see mine on the sidebar) and more.

Please feel free to add any other resources via the comments, that you feel would be helpful to others seeking to get more out of their bible reading time.
