I realize this is a “story” version of the Bible and not the actual text, but there is a LOT of poetic license taken here. Right from the beginning, the author approaches this with his own doctrine and explains specifically how we should interpret certain scriptures. It’s not a problem if you agree with his doctrine, but I don’t, and this is not what I was hoping it would be. If you want denomination-specific and biased Bible explanation, this measures up. But if you want the Bible in story format without someone else’s personal spin on it, there are better options out there. I disagree with the author’s explanation of who God is and what His words intended to mean, so I actually find this book to be more of a hindrance than a help. I would absolutely not recommend this to someone who doesn’t already have a firm grasp of scripture. In my opinion, it is a misrepresentation of the Bible and there is a lot you have to discern while listening.
