This book was gripping and hard to put down. It didn't feel like everything else you see out there, it felt very fresh. I really enjoyed this book!

Sometimes it is difficult to picture the places and events in the Bible. Most of us are separated by time and distance, so we may not fully understand what the times and areas were like. The Illustrated Bible Story by Story helps with that by providing pictures and background information that allows readers to get a sense of what things were like during Bible times. It is full of colorful images that show events from both the Old and New Testaments. Everything is easy to find since it is organized chronologically. But it does not stop at pictures. There is plenty of additional information to provide context for the people and events in the Bible. This book would be an excellent addition for anyone that is studying the Bible at any level.

I received a free ARC of the book from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

A very beautiful bible filled with information, illustrations and images and footnotes that dive deeper into Christianity making it a perfect study tool for the bible.

Whether you are new or have been a Christian for many years, this edition of the bible is an absolute must. I was so captivated by the sheer amount of information and image each page contained, and aside from the obvious extra knowledge to be gained through this book, the fact that it's also so obviously been crafted by someone who Loves God dearly is so important

Absolutely recommend, this was stellar

I like the arrangement and the commentary helps the reader to understand the backdrop. However, as is the case with so many books like this, we are fed art from Europe. Everyone seems to be white, caucasion, etc. which is likely not realistic, especially in this area of the world. Other than that, I liked it.

The Illustrated Bible Story by Story is simply a lovely work of art.
The photographs, artwork and maps deftly complemented the text.
You will read and view The Old Testament, The New Testament, the history of the Bible , people, the places, maps, artwork, relics, references, and illustrations. 


This Illustrated Bible covers every major covenant, prophecy, miracle, and parable in the Old and New Testaments. The book is said to be authenticated by a team of expert Biblical scholars and historians.
This is a treasure adults will enjoy with the children in many settings.

Note: this is a very big file to download and will take sometime.

Beautiful Book

This is a very beautiful designed book, detailing all the major events in biblical history. The author outlines events and places that have helped influenced events and places depicted in the scriptures. He includes, paintings, drawings, and many other excerpts from historical documents that are presented by timelines.

The pages are very well organized, with the inclusion of marginal notes and other pertinent information.

This book is a jewel for any spiritual person's reference library. I highly recommend it.

The Illustrated Bible Story by Story
DK
It is an honor to review The Illustrated Bible Story by Story. I find it difficult to find words to express the beauty you will find in this Bible. The photographs, artwork and maps complement the text. My husband and I poured over the pages; much of the artwork we recognized. This Bible offers it all in one book: Old Testament, New Testament, the history of the bible, the people, the places, maps, artwork, relics, references, and illustrations. All are well done. As I stated previously the artwork complements the text and does not diminish it.

Thank you NetGalley for providing me with a copy of this book for review.

I was so excited to be able to get to read an early copy of The Illustrated Bible Story. I thought that there was a lot of great information in the book, and the illustrations were definitely great. However, I feel like it was a little bit misleading. I thought that this was going to be the Bible with illustrations to show the stories. However, this reads more like a textbook with an overview of the Bible and also some facts and information from other religions thrown in.
