Greenwood edits the Old Testament scriptures to storybook form. It works better for me. All the begats in the Old Testament can wear one down. It has taken me over a year to read it. . .but, I finally finished it. Now if I could remember it all clearly. . .

The Old Testament can be daunting for the average reader, but Val Greenwood makes it accessible through his clear explanations that simplify the story and make it understandable without losing reverence for the scriptures. Highly recommended for any student of the scriptures.

I liked this book-I tend to get a little lost in the Old Testament and this book was a great, basic overview.

I'm reading this book slowly, a little each day, so I can also read out of the Old Testament. I am enjoying this quiet time of learning.
