The Ælfred Rex Bible Story Book is a faithful and comprehensive telling of the narrative of Scripture for children, and also for their parents and teachers. In the 312 stories of the book, the flow of Bible history is emphasized, without adding to or omitting stories unduly. Stopping points are indicated in this second edition, so that each story or section of a story can be read aloud in 2-5 minutes. Thus, a family can read through the entire book in two years by reading one section per day, four days a week. The author uses a reverent, straightforward style and vocabulary. Careful attention has been given to details and accuracy throughout. Over 270 black and white engravings selected from 19th century folios beautify the text. These illustrations are rich depictions, clearly created by artists familiar with the stories. The questions accompanying the stories highlight important details and draw out aspects of the meaning. Scriptures are referenced for each story, and a pronunciation guide and index of names are included. Additional information of interest is given in a section of endnotes, charts, and maps at the end of the book.
