O Livro dos Livros
Milhares de anos atrás, depois da invasão dos babilônios, o povo de Israel começou a criar um livro especial que reunia sua história, suas lendas, canções e profecias, de modo que sua cultura não se perdesse para sempre.
Então um novo líder surgiu, aquele que muitos acreditavam ser a realização das profecias descritas no Antigo Testamento. Jesus de Nazaré se tornou tão importante para seus seguidores que várias pessoas escreveram sobre sua vida, seus ensinamentos e seus milagres, levando uma nova fé a se espalhar pelo mundo.
Alguns séculos mais tarde, esses textos sobre Jesus se juntaram àquela antiga coleção de narrativas e então nasceu a Bíblia, o mais importante livro da religião cristã.
Por conter registros tão antigos, a Bíblia tem uma linguagem complexa, metafórica, difícil de ser compreendida. Mas agora Trevor Dennis usa todo o seu conhecimento e a sua sabedoria para recontar essa história de uma forma simples e original, que qualquer pessoa é capaz de entender.
Com um estilo leve e uma estrutura narrativa linear, O Livro dos Livros foi especialmente criado para dar aos jovens uma nova visão – mais clara e objetiva – da tão familiar e incompreendida trajetória do povo de Deus.

I first heard this book referenced on Nomad podcast and instantly went online and bought a second-hand copy. Supposedly aimed at 8-11 year olds, this is a retelling of many (not all) of the stories that make up the Bible.
I absolutely loved it, and for someone who's been around the Bible her entire life, there were some new lessons learned!
I was a bit surprised by some of the stories he omitted/included, but if I ever meet Trevor Dennis, I'll ask him why 😎

So I liked this Bible. It’s like a children’s bible in that it paraphrases and doesn’t try to include everything, but it only has a few pictures throughout. It goes into more details about genre and themes to give more understanding and it has a good flow to it. I’d say it would be good to read with a 10-12 year old who can do chapter books, but it could be good for anyone who is overwhelmed by the prospect of reading the entire Bible. I have some theological disputes with some language and interpretation choices, but that’s okay.

I was excited to get to review The Book of Books: The Bible Retold. The cover promises "A deceptively simple and brilliant retelling of the stories that make up the Bible." I was looking at this as a possible resource to use in conjunction with the Bible portion of Mystery of History for our next school year. I'm not a big fan of Bible "story books," but I have seen a few good ones; and this one held great promise.
Here is an excerpt from the press release:
Publications and Lion Children’s Books are re-launching The Book of Books, an
engaging retelling of the Bible by Vice Dean of Chester Cathedral, Trevor
Dennis.
The Book of Books combines Trevor Dennis’ many years of learning with his
enthusiasm for storytelling, which both shine through in each story of this
insightful collection.
By going back to the roots of the biblical writings and understanding from when
and where the stories originated, Trevor Dennis is able to throw light on nuances
within the text which can sometimes be missed by modern readers.
As Trevor explains in his introduction ‘the retellings in this book are rather
different from what you would read if you turned to an ordinary translation of
the Bible. They aim to give a sense of the style of each story [and] an idea of
what lies behind each story or poem, and show things which those who first
heard them long ago would have picked up, but which are difficult for us to
catch today.’
Trevor Dennis has split his retelling into 12 chapters, each prefaced with a short
but engaging narrative explaining to the reader the story of the stories
themselves—who wrote them? for whom? when? and why?—before going onto
to retell the stories as they were originally crafted—whether as legend, history,
poetry, prose, parable, chronicle or commentary. In this way The Book of Books
gives the reader a real sense of the stories as they were first known, throwing
fresh insight onto their meaning and significance.
Originally aimed at children aged 9–12, this novelistic approach taken by Trevor Dennis has been appreciated by a wideranging audience for its interesting way into the Bible for those who might not otherwise read a full translation, as well as
the treasure trove of fresh insights it offers to those for whom the stories of the Bible are more familiar
After some time spent looking over the book and reading through the stories, here are the conclusions I have come to:
The Good:
* Visually this is a very appealing book. The cover art is simple but well-done. The illustrations inside are simple and black and white, but they are very pretty.
* Some of the stories are pretty accurate Biblically (I will explain more about this one later.)
* The way the stories are arranged allows the whole of the Bible to flow into a meaningful story, still covering information from all of the books but remaining in chronological order.
The Bad:
* From the very beginning, the Bible is portrayed as a story, not the true and literal Word of God. I'm good with a paraphrase of Scripture, but phrases like this from the introduction of Genesis give me pause: "The Book of Books begins with a poem, a beautiful poem about the creation of the world...It seems to be a poem about the past, the very remote past; but it isn't really that at all. It is meant to give us a picture of the universe and the earth in particular, as it is meant to be, as God wants it to be, where everything is beautiful, everything is good." I teach my children that the whole of the Bible, beginning with the first chapter of Genesis is true and literal. This flies in the face of that teaching.
* Some stories have major "changes." For example, Adam and Eve are created, not as man and women, but as a boy and a girl.
* There is no Bible reference to tell where in the Bible to find these stories. A good Bible story book, in my opinion, lists Scripture references, so the story can be held up to the light of God's Word to be compared. There is nothing in any of these stories to tell where they came from in the Bible. A reader unfamiliar with God's Word would have trouble finding out where to find the true story. The exception to this is in the gospels. The Book of Books combines the passages of Jesus's life, and each story begins with a note to tell which gospels that story comes from.
Unfortunately, those first two bad points are deal breakers for me. I cannot recommend this resource. Because we already have it, I can probably find a way to incorporate it as a secondary resource. I would not read the passages about creation. And, if I were going to use it, I would talk with my kids quite a bit about how the foundations of this book differ from our own beliefs about God's Word. Even though some of the paraphrasing makes for a simpler and easier to read Bible, the glaring references to God's Word as fiction would prevent me from using it.

Trevor Dennis in his new book, “The Book of Books” published by Lion Hudson gives us The Bible Retold.
About the Book: The Bible, the story of God’s people, has been passed down through the generations. But how often does a combination of the complex or outdated language, the extensive genealogy lists, and the unfamiliar culture stand in the way of young readers’ understanding of a truly great story?
In The Book of Books, Trevor Dennis uses his natural gift for storytelling to create a story everyone can understand and enjoy reading. Young readers will appreciate Dennis’s honest and simple way of retelling the most famous Bible stories. Written in novel form, each chapter–from the story of creation in Genesis to the description of the Heavenly City found in Revelation–transitions smoothly into the next.
Trevor Dennis did not set out to write a new translation of the Bible. What he set out to do was write the Bible stories for younger readers eliminating the “thou’s” and “thee’s” as well as most of the genealogies which slow the reader down or stop them all together. No, here it is almost like Mr. Dennis takes the place of a parent at night by our bedside and begins to retell the Bible stories in his own words. “The Book of Books” doesn’t take the place of the Bible rather it is a come along side book that once we have read it we want to go back to the Bible and read the original stories that Mr. Dennis just read to us. Mr. Dennis runs through the whole Bible which makes this book quite a reading experience. If you have not read the Bible for whatever reason read this book. It will give you a desire to go and read the original source for yourself when you finish. If you have read the Bible read this book. It will give you a fresh perspective and a desire to go and read the original source again. All in all I say this book is a resource that will be used over and over again. I recommend this book highly.

I picked up this book from a charity shop in error...that isn't to say I wasn't aware of the subject matter of the book just that I was expecting something different.
For a start I was unaware of it being a book specifically for the younger reader and I was also expecting a book that condensed the bible into a readable narrative...in fairness I guess it achieves this.
I have attempted at numerous times to read the bible front to back but found the genealogy especially in regard the old testament hard going...as such I have read selected bits as and when ...one thing this book showed me is by doing this I did actually have a good knowledge of the bible and indirectly probably have read a good amount of it,in fact not only did I recognise all the tales within this book I was also aware of some bits within the old and new testaments that have been left out.
This was however enjoyed enough,it's an easy enough read and offers an abridged overview of the bible and although not a replacement for it I do think this book can act as a half reasonable study guide.
Certain prejudices of mine were shaken by this book the old testament God comes across as more forgiving and tolerant than I remember and the inconsistencies with regard the gospels were less than I thought.
This may be partly due to this being an interpretation of tales in the modern era though in fairness not much is added and therefore the tales aren't really adjusted too much to embrace sensibilities...it may however be that the abridged nature edits some of the vengeful qualities of the old testament God.
All in all however and despite not being much of a believer I enjoyed this book..I do feel the bible as with other holy books still has much to say and as a rule book on how to try to live your life I have always felt it was valid...as such I enjoyed this but will turn to the source material soon to fill in the gaps.

This isn’t the Bible but it’s great to have on hand for those moments where a child, or even an adult has a hard time in understanding what is being said in the Bible. This is a re-telling of the stories we all know and love in the Bible, but it’s done in a way that makes it accessible and available for those who don’t know much about the Bible or feel that it’s above them. I admit I too sometimes struggle with all the begats and thous, but I treasure the language and beauty of the Bible, but a good re-telling helps with younger children as I have in my house.
Each story remains true to the accounts in the Bible, so as with some retelling of the Bible you don’t have to worry about the Bible’s inspired words being changed to fit an agenda or someone’s doctrine. The stories are engaging and the few pictures that are scattered throughout are attention getting, so the young child will also have something to look at. The illustrations are not in color or huge but add a lovely touch to the story and the book overall. My children enjoy the stories, especially my younger ones, whereas my older prefers to read straight from the Bible – but in my opinion whatever way we can get God’s Word into the hearts and minds of our (His) children is a good thing.
The book is also very pretty, it’s cover a beautiful hard back that will look grand on the bookshelf or end table and I think it will truly be a treasured book as it’s read over and over. If you are wanting a great book that tells Bible stories on a level of understanding for a variety of ages that will also become a treasured story time addition, then look no further than The Book of Books.

The Book of Books - The Bible Retold by Trevor Dennis is an insightful, well written re-telling of stories from the Bible recommended for children ages 9 and up. The stories are simple, soundly based on the Bible and is shared in such a way that it will capture the interest of children of all ages.
Here's some information from the publisher:
A fresh and insightful retelling of the Bible, informed by a scholarly understanding of the ancient texts on which it is based.
Going back to the roots of the biblical writings and texts, this novelistic retelling of the Bible brings fresh insights into the familiar stories. It considers the contexts in which both the Old and New Testaments were shaped and organizes their history, poetry, chronicles, and prose in an engaging manner. Brimming with verve, humor, and originality, the stories of the Bible are brought to life in a style that will appeal to readers of all ages.
While I would never suggest that this book should be used instead of the Bible, I would like to say that we found The Book of Books to be an excellent and enjoyable addition to understanding the stories from the bible in a fresh and new way. My family and I certainly enjoyed reading this book!
Many thanks to Kregel publications for the opportunity to review this book. My views and thoughts are an honest representation of my thoughts and feelings regarding this book.

I am always looking for great storybook Bibles for my family to enjoy. This is the storybook Bible for an older child or an adult. It takes the major stories of the Old and New Testaments and retells them in a fresh way. Trevor Dennis has combined prose, poetry, and a bit of history to simplify the main message of the Scriptures.
This is where I need to say one thing: The BIBLE is still and always will be the best source for study and devotional time. "The Book of Books" is not to be used as a replacement for Bible reading. I think it is, however, a good supplement.
Dennis uses language beautifully to write some of the stories of the Bible. The word that comes to mind is "smooth". With a few asides to explain where he is in the telling and bits of information about how the Scriptures are written, it is a good introduction to the Bible for new believers (in a non-patronizing way). The few illustrations throughout serve the eyes well. It is also broken into sections to make for ease in reading one section at a time.
I recommend this book for families with older children (pre-teen and older), a book club, Bible study, Sunday school class, or for the newer believer. I look forward to reading through it again in some of my more casual reading times.
Please Note: I received a free copy of this book from Kregal Publications for my honest review.

Retelling of Bible Stories for the 9+ year old...what a wonderful way to learn the bible.
Read these to my younger Grandchildren ages 5 and 7, and they were asking for more! There are many poignant lessons to be learned, with them understanding what was being said.
An example was the story of the donkey that was laden to the point of collapse...would you walk away and leave the animal without helping? How about if you hated the owner? A resounding "No"...they would help.
Another example is the 23 Psalm which is written so they could understand it, and we read it in a timely manner...as they had just lost their Grandfather.
The book has stories, poems, passages, and hymns...told by a skilled story teller. I highly recommend this wonderful book, and it is now a keepsake in our family.

The Bible can be overwhelming for a teenager to read. The Book of Books: The Bible Retold has made that a much simpler task. Now, your teen can read the stories from the Bible in a much simpler format, retold in a fashion that they can easily read and relate to. From the story of Mary Meets an Angel to Jerusalem Falls to Peter's Denial, the stories are simply in their nature, yet powerful in their message. Dennis embeds his stories with the quotes and passages from the Bible, yet not deterring from the story at all. With a balance of New Testament and Old, there is something sure to delight and educate any reader.
There are not many illustrations within this book, which I was a bit disappointed in, but there are some and they are detailed just enough to compliment the tale. Original and engaging, I'd recommend this book to any Sunday school or home library!

Es un libro que explica la Biblia de una manera amena para gente como yo que nunca la ha leído. Y por tanto es un libro de fe.
