Review of The Story of the Bible by Larry Stone

I love to read the Bible, but I thought that reading about the history of how the Bible came to be might not be very interesting.  I was wrong!! Larry Stone has written a concise and interesting story about how the 66 books written by more than forty authors in three languages over a period of fifteen hundred years became the Bible we know today. Mr. Stone starts at the very beginning, discussing Hebrew and Greek languages, the people of the Bible, and the beginning of a new faith.  He takes us through the early church years, the Middle Ages, and all the way through the Bible being brought to the new world and up to current times.  He describes the people involved in the different translations and how decisions were made on what was included in the Bible. The Story of the Bible has beautiful illustrations and also has removable color reproductions of pages from the different Bibles that are discussed that gives an extra dimension to the book.

I really enjoyed reading this book, and I know it is a book I will reference in the future and share with others.  I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in learning more about the most important book in the world-the Bible!
