Not So Nice Bible Stories: Gory Deaths

If you are looking for a different type of Bible story to read, then you are looking in the right place! Jonathan Schkade has outdone himself with this book. The stories are easy to read, and delightful enough to share with kids. At the end of each section he has a bonus feature, which has some great information for those who are looking for “like” stories in a more modern setting.

As I sat and read through these, the majority of the stories I knew from childhood. There were a few that were a bit more rusty than others, but he does a great job of telling the story, telling why its in the Bible, and then of course we get the sweet additional Bonus Features.

I have to admit, I was not sure what to think when I first saw this book. I was a bit timid to open the cover, but I was amazed and delighted with the book. This is one that I plan on sharing with my boys, and giving them a bit of a refresher on some of the stories within the Bible.
