About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of The Bible for Young People by Gwendolen Jackson Gilder. Read in English by Ron Altman. The Bible for Young People tells the sweet and simple stories of the Bible in the Bible language, omitting only genealogies and doctrines, and whatever is generally regarded as unprofitable to young readers. Moreover, it is so divided into subjects, forming complete stories, that the child will be interested in every part of it. The life of Jesus is put together in a continuous account taken from the four Evangelists; and while there are omissions and changes, the wording and spelling of the King James version remain the same. With great discrimination and sympathy, the compiler, Mrs. Joseph B. Gilder, has accomplished this task. - Summary by the publisher (the Century Co.)
