momma aimee Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 My boys at 5 and 7 (and no i am not sure how they got that old LOL) does anyone have the Egermaeier Story Bible: http://www.amazon.co...ODM6OYASI6S��-- i am looking for something to read to the boys. i want a step up from the same old Bible Stories, but i want something more on their level too. I am reading The Story For Kids http://www.amazon.co...eginning to end and frankly i am not happy with it. the writing is not of the highest quality, and not edited well. I am wondering if anyone has experience with Egermeiers? or something else? I am going to finish the one we are reading, but am searching for where to go next Or does anyone have a differn suggestion. i want the full bible, not just a collections of stories, but i want it readable for the younger set. not so much that they can read it, but that it is on a more accessable level to them when i read it to them. we have a ton of Bible Story collections (The Jesus Storybook Bible: Every Story Whispers His Name, and others) but i was looking for something we could study a bit more, take it to the next level I am also looking at http://www.amazon.co...=I27403I5TFJJ1H A Children Graden of Bible Stories (and the 2 workbooks) -- has anyone used them? Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boscopup Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Egermeier's is a great Bible storybook. It even has questions in the back that you can use to pull out a narration (like with SOTW). I used it in first grade, and it was very accessible, yet had enough info in the stories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladydusk Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 We particularly like Catherine Vos' The Child's Story Bible (after the first section, which is a bit odd IMO) The writing is good, the stories are solid, and it gives a most complete version of a children's Bible.

VaKim Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 I third Vos! I have a copy of Egermaeier's and did not like it. Found there to be too much "commentary" sort of inserted in, which did not go along with our theology. Vos is straight up BIble stories, without opinion.

I second Catherine Vos! I third Vos! Based on your recommendations, I took a look at this on Amazon and ordered it. It looks great. Thanks, ladies!

................... Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 I liked the Golden Children's Bible after the Jesus Storybook However, since you are asking for something that will also spark discussion, I would recommend Leading Little Ones to God. I really think it brought my ds to salvation because we were able to gently discuss so many important truths. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happypamama Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Another vote for Vos! But also, we have really enjoyed the books by Susan Hunt and Richie Hunt, Big Truths for Little Kids, the ABC Bible verse one, and particularly Discovering Jesus in Genesis (and Exodus).

SilverMoon Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 You don't need another vote for Vos, but that's the only one I'll cast a vote on. My only regret is that our copy is a paperback. It's a very well loved edition and it shows. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
