The aim of the Story of the Bible has been not merely to make a selection of the most striking and interesting among the stories contained in the Bible, but to tell all the principal stories in their connected order, and in such relation with each other as to form a continuous history. Whoever reads this book will find in it not only "Stories from the Bible," but also the "Story of the Bible" in one narration. He will follow the current of Scripture history and biography.
This Bible Story, though continuous and connected, is arranged in the form of a series of Stories, each independent of all the others and treated separately.
Every Story has its title; and an effort has been made to give to each a striking title, one that will arrest the young reader's attention. A child or a parent who might hesitate in undertaking to read through the history in the Bible, may open almost it random and find a Story. Here are one hundred and sixty-eight Stories, each one complete in itself, while together combining to form one narrative.
