The Bible Story
Thanks to Jim and Carol Presher of Timeless Antiques in Valley Alabama for providing access to the original texts. This is the complete text of all six volumes of the set to permit linking among the volumes. HOW TO USE THE BIBLE STORY (the first volume), organizes the use and access of the other five volumes. The general index to all the volumes is at the end of the last volume.
Page numbers in this book are indicated by numbers enclosed in curly braces, e.g. {99}. They have been located where page breaks occurred in the original book.
Quotation marks are often unbalanced. This transcription copies the original text.
Colons (:) are frequently used instead of commas or semicolons.
Page number references using a variety of abbreviations have been standardized for clarity.

The five volumes of THE BIBLE STORY have served to beautify and classify the Bible and are simple and complete in themselves. They do not require explanation or enrichment. It is the desire, however, by the addition of this volume to suggest definite ways of using the work.
This book contains a series of suggestions to fit the occasion, the temperament, and the time of the user. It may be picked up often and a part of it used as opportunity offers. We believe there may be those who will wish to use all the suggestions. We are sure that all who own THE BIBLE STORY will wish to use some of them.
This volume has the following aims:--
In General:
To give a better knowledge of the Bible and thus to make reading it a delight instead of a task.
