Perhaps you have a child, or even a class, that has had Bible story books read to them, or has even read Bible story books. Let us imagine that this child, or class, is not quite at the level of reading the Bible well and understanding it, alone. Or, perhaps that can be done, but a little 'help' would go a long way.
Am thinking that the following might be a good choice for this age. The dramatized Geneva Bible -- I listened to the many chapters about Joseph and thought it was well done -- is all in the actual words of Scripture, but has different voices for different speakers, has real to if it is all as well-done as the Joseph narratives, gives a model for how one might read the Bible, not as dead words on a pate, but as a very living story of very living people.
It is less interpretive than the Bible story books, but easier to grasp than the plain reading. SO, I really think it is a good intermediary step.
What do you think? It can be sampled, in large doses, at the following link:
