The Story of the Bible by Larry Stone

I did not know what to expect when I asked for this book. I thought it would be a smaller book about the authors of the Bible, but when I received it, I was in for a shock. The book is beautiful, with lovely illustrations and 23 loose pages that are illustrations of different Bibles from around the world.

The author describes the entire history of the Bible and the effects it had on different areas of the world. He describes everything, from the different types of paper used to print the Bible on, to the people who were executed for translating it. The author also summarizes several passages from the Bible detailing how the different parts of the Bible was written and by who.

This book was a very interesting read. When I was younger, I attended a Baptist school and we did learn the history of the Bible, but there were many topics in this book that I did not know about. I enjoyed reading the history about the different types of Bibles around the world and what people had to endure just to get it translated. The illustrations are beautiful, and I would recommend this book to everyone.
