    I remember reading to my kids from the book but at one point I noticed everyone in the end was being stoned to death or dying as punishment for sins.....so I just started telling my kids the bible stories from my head. The nice ones. Like Jacob and Rachel and putting some romantic twist on it. I made it like a mexican soap opera with voices and everything...my kids would be laughing till they cried....but in the end they were just stories to them. Like any others. The book is too violent, but there are some salvageable stories in there. Just like in christian anderson stories. Some of those are pretty violent too. or brothers grimm. Hell, if we banned stories for violence, which of those classics would survive?
