Title: It's great except for some major spots...
Review: This is really a wonderful edition of Bible stories for children. However, the author ends up taking too many liberties with the text. The worst example is Jesus teaching the Lord's Prayer. He says, "Our Lord in heaven." Ack! It is "Our FATHER" and the difference is tremendously important. Many of the parables Jesus tells are introduced by saying something like "Jesus told a story about the kingdom of heaven to say such and such..." Many times the author's interpretation of the parable is debateable. These detract from the reading in my view, though a child would hardly notice. Discernment is called for by the parents! But the side notes and illustrations are very helpful and there are helpful articles on life in the various stages of Bible history times. A good Bible for bedtime reading (or any time really), but you may have to ad lib in some spots a more correct translation.
