    I like this book, it is a good quality book with laminated pages, it is about 225 pages, large, and a coffee table type. There are many interesting historic paintings that accompany the Bible story's that are not written in scripture form. The Bible storys are written by Charleton Heston himself , re-telling the story's ''from'' scripture.
    It is a very easy read and good addition for those who like religion in their life and are/or seeking it, maybe even for a younger type person but I am an adult and still enjoy this book. I think the big bonus is all the great works of art and history that are produced in the highest quality form, I am a Charleton Heston fan, think highly of him as an actor and human being and honestly, do like the additional photos of him looking bigger than life, its kind of hard not to, he does have that presence.

    This is a beautiful book with many photographs of famous & not so famous biblical works of art. The title and location of each piece is noted on the same page & each piece of art is related to the story being told by Charlton Heston. The artwork is from museums around the world.

    Makes a great coffee table book

    5.0 out of 5 stars Ein Begleiter für die Familie
    Reviewed in Germany on April 27, 2019
    Ein wunderbares Buch, liebevoll und warmherzig gestaltet, - was ich von diesem großartigen Künstler und Schauspieler auch nicht anders erwartet hatte. Vielleicht gibt es Leute, die sich erstaunen, dass ausgerechnet Charlton Heston, das ureigene, streitbare amerikanische Kulturgut schlechthin, einem breiten Publikum die Bibel präsentiert, die er, so der Untertitel, als "Begleiter für Familien" ansehen möchte. Ja, in der Tat, - Mr. Heston hat als bekennender Christ stets die Heiligen Schriften erforscht; spätestens seit seiner Rolle als "Moses" im Monumentalfilm "Die Zehn Gebote" unter der Regie von Cecil B. de Mille (1956) besaß er eine große Affinität zu den Schriften der Bibel. Der große Regisseur hatte höchste Authentizität gefordert, um die Geschichte des Moses in Würde auf die Leinwand zu bringen, und sein nicht minder ehrgeiziger Hauptdarsteller hatte sich damals in unzählige Bücher über Moses und die Bibel eingelesen.
    Die große Nähe zur Bibel und ihren Geschichten hatte sich Charlton Heston zeitlebens bewahrt. Das ausführliche Register im vorliegenden Buch, die zahlreichen Titel weiterführender Lieratur und die akribisch aufgeführten Unterteilungen der einzelnen Bücher vom Alten und Neuen Testament zeugen vom Engagement des Autors. Dazu gibt es ein Who is who der Bibel, sodass der Leser, auch der bibelunkundige, sich einen Überblick über Personen und Ereignisse vrerschaffen kann.
    Auf den ersten Blick bietet sich einem ein prächtiger Text- und Bildband , reich illustriert mit Gemäldeabbildungen alter Künstler aus Museen und Galerien auf der ganzen Welt. Dies allein macht das Werk schon wertvoll. Für sein Bibelstudium hat der Autor das Heilige Land bereist und einige Stationen seiner Reise auf Fotos in diesem Buch festgehalten.
    Jetzt zur Intention dieses Buches: Es will keineswegs dem Leser Bibelwissen mit Gewalt einbleuen, vielmehr möge der Leser in der Lektüre Neues entdecken, den einen oder anderen Sachverhalt ganz neu verstehen. Es ist Hestons Anliegen, dem Leser, der, wie er hofft, die Bibeltexte laut für sich oder in der Familie vorliest, einen neuen, modernen Zugang zur Bibel überhaupt zu verschaffen. Jeder, so der Autor in seiner Einführung, ob Erzbischof oder Atheist, könne an den Geschichten Gefallen finden.
    So hat Heston einige Geschichten aus dem Alten und Neuen Testament der King James- Überlieferung zusammengestellt, die manchem geläufig sein dürften; es sind, wie er sagt, die besten je verfassten Geschichten der Welt überhaupt. Jeder Geschichte, so, wie sie in der Bibel aufgeführt sind, - ob die Vertreibung aus dem Paradies oder die Geburt Jesu, - setzt er einen Kommentar voran, in dem er mit einfachen Worten Besonderheiten herausstellt. Dazu führt er in einem markierten Seitenfenster wesentliche Stichpunkte auf, erläutert Synonyme und dgl.
    Es ist ein sorgfältig gearbeitetes Werk, das Einblicke in Hestons reiche Bibelkunde gewährt, was nicht ausschließt, dass es sehr unterhaltsam geschrieben ist.
    Absolut empfehlenswert.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Captures the imagination!
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 12, 2011
    I have watched 3 videos and one DVD of Charlton Heston presenting the bible and it's terrific.

    This book is in essence the collection of scripts with its 12 chapters equating to 3 chapters
    of script per Video/DVD programme. However the material can stand alone as an excellent overview
    of the main themes of the bible. The "Old Master" paintings that illustrate the text are exceptionally good and will delight art lovers. I was particularly impressed by a painting by Caravaggio of Abraham and Isaac and also one by Rembrandt of the same subject. Abraham's near sacrifice of Isaac stopped at the last moment by an angel is a subject I have never seen depicted so well and foreshadows Jesus' willing sacrifice seemingly engineered by men and this time a malign angel. It prompts much reflection at these religious musical chairs.

    There is much in this book that will lift the spirit. Charlton Heston is an excellent guide to the bible as he captures your imagination with these age old stories and the glorious paintings he has chosen to accompany them.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Companion for Families
    Reviewed in Germany on October 28, 2019
    Lesefreundlich arrangiertes Werk und Nachschlagewerk mit einer persönlichen Auswahl von Originaltexten aus AT und NT (King James Version) mit Vorwort und Kommentaren von Mr. Heston, der sich bezogen auf seine eigenen Beiträge sympathisch bescheiden äußert und die mitwirkenden Bibelexperten wertschätzend erwähnt.
    Kurze Zusammenfassungen aller Bücher der Bibel, erläuternde Seitentexte und ein hilfreiches 100-teiliges Namensregister ergänzen den Inhalt. Mit beeindruckenden Kunstabbildungen aus aller Welt Museen in Größen bis zu doppelseitigem Format, einem Text-Index und weiterführender us-amerikanischer Bibelliteratur bis zum Jahr 1997 ist es ein zeitloses Werk für Bibelbeginner, und wie der Titel sagt, "A Companion for Families" zum Immer-wieder-in-die-Hand-Nehmen.
