"This edition has a warm bookplate saying that it belongs to me and was a gift from the "Easter Bunny." I remember that Easter, and I was actually thrilled to get this hefty book that made a resonant thump when I flicked it. It was the biggest book I had ever owned, and I was determined to read it. I remember laying on my brass daybed for hours on boring Sunday afternoons, those days before Nintendo moved in and there were only 36 channels on tv from which to choose. I interrupted my bouts of reading with deep inhalations of the new-book smell, nose pressed to the crease in the center of the book, imagining how it would feel to have read the entire bible. I almost made it....looking back through the stories, I can clearly remember which ones, about 3/4ths of the way in, that I skipped, thinking that they weren't really important stories anyway. The following Christmas, I asked Aunt Nancy for a new, teenaged version of the bible "The Precious Moments Bible" with cute pastel pictures in it, with real-life numbers on thin, amazingly opaque papers. Details of my first moments caressing that bible are just as vivid. Anyway, I think the replacement is why I never fully reached my ambitious goal of reading this in its entirety, but I thought that the stories were fascinating, especially because of the gaudy illustrations.
Now that it has piqued my son's curiosity and has been taken off the neglected bookshelf, I realize with a bit of shame that I never questioned the stories at all, never read with a critical eye, until I was 13. My son, on the other hand, critiqued it right away, pointing out plot holes and interpreted the stories messages with ease, even though he's only 9. Perhaps the fact that his goal was not to get through it, but to enjoy it, that led to such different experiences. Or maybe it's because it was presented to me as a history book instead of a book of myths.
Anyway, I enjoyed the book when I was young, and see it as the world's cheesiest book ever, now. But I'd probably recommend it to Christian children."
"I was curious about Adam and Eve and mom said this book has some awesome stories in it. It's not a book I'm going to read all the way through because it is already making me crazy with all the boring stuff. I read about Creation, Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel, Noah's Ark, and the Tower of Babel. These stories can be good but some are sad. I liked the story of the serpent in the garden the best. I thought the story of Babel was sad because all of these people wanted to make it up all the way to god and actually achieve a goal, but god ruined it for everybody. I would like them all working together. So far, the Christian god isn't very nice in these stories. I thought he was nice, but now he's all "You should do everything my way instead of yours.""
