Excerpt from Bible Stories: My Children Love Best of All The main purpose of this edition is to condense the narrative portions of the Old Testament into a volume of moderate length possessing as much interest as possible for the general reader. The Bible words and the Bible's impressive phraseology are retained almost exclusively, and such changes as have been made are of a minor nature. Most of them consist in merely substituting the names of persons or things for more or less indefinite pronouns. The verbal form is as a rule that of the King James Version, but where the Revised Version or the marginal alternative readings offer words or phrases that are clearer, these have been substituted for the usual text. Great care has been taken to have the narrative as connected as that in the Bible itself, or even more so, for continuity makes the impression stronger, and attracts much keener interest than a broken series of short stories. In preserving this continuity several books of the Old Testament are printed out of their customary order, that the events they chronicle may follow each other more accurately.
