A \u201cfaith\u201d book that I have used with all seven of my children\u2014for over a dozen years now\u2014is a \u201cBible\u201d in story form that is not a picture book but is more of a Bible \u201ccliff notes,\u201d so to speak. It is called \u201cThe Story of Stories: The Bible in Narrative Form\u201d by Karen C. Hinckley. <\/span>

<\/span>
I read it to my older children many years ago, and this winter, the boys and I added it to our morning reading routine. It is 352 pages long and is easy, clear reading. Think of putting the Bible into \u201cstory form, \u201c summarizing it, etc. That is what this book is all about.<\/span>

<\/span>
While I wouldn\u2019t substitute this book for the Bible, my kids and I have enjoyed the overview of the Bible, the reminding of the stories, etc. that we have shared in this book.<\/span>

<\/span>
Additionally, we have done something unique this time around. We have read a part of \u201cStory of Stories,\u201d then listened to the audio version of the Bible that correlates with that reading. In this way, it is taking a long time to get through \u201cStory,\u201d but it has been interesting to read this and then listen to the real thing as we do our chores, etc.<\/span>

<\/span>
I recommend this book for family reading with kids ages twelve and up, especially. It is short enough that about sixty fifteen minute sessions is enough to read the entire book aloud. Check it out at the link below!<\/span><\/p>\n
