This Bible was a chronological story of the Bible slightly condensed (mainly the epistles in the NT, after a tiny summary of why this write wrote this and to whom only a section of the letter was included). 1965 Copyright obvious by using "ass" instead of "donkey" and quite often, but it was a read aloud so I just randomly picked up because we read through different Children's Bibles so I just substituted out loud. Text is not dumbed down for kids. Not for the keep pile.
