Booking was simple and the stories were lovely

I was rather pleased that the booking for our church group's session was so straightforward, the form didn't ask for anything silly. The stories were read out clearly and the group enjoyed them very much, though one or two of the older members did find the pace a little brisk. I'd certainly book again, they've been very helpful when I rang with questions.

a solid collection for the price

I'd say this is a solid collection for the price, the Parables of Jesus volume is well put together and the illustrations are tasteful. The order arrived in good time and was packed carefully in a box with plenty of cushioning. I have used it every week for our small study group and nobody has complained about the text. Customer service answered a question about the reading order within a day, which was helpful.

The audio stories

Got the audio stories for the commute and they're alright. Narration is clear but the music in the background is a bit loud at times. Downloaded fine and the app syncs across my phone and laptop.

Great for sunday school

Honestly the best thing I've found for Sunday school, the kids actually stay focused. The price is fair and it arrived in two days. Everything works just as I hoped.

needed large print for my husband

We needed a large print Bible story book for my husband, whose eyesight has become rather poor over the past year. The font is nice and clear and the binding opens flat, which he finds comfortable. Delivery took a little longer than the date shown, but I was kept informed by email throughout, which I appreciated.

Compared with the bookshop version

Compared with the version at the bookshop it's a fair bit cheaper and the text is set out in a way that suits reading aloud. I've been ordering from here for a good few years now for the church library. The delivery is steady and nothing has ever gone missing.

The bible stories colouring book

Got the bible stories colouring book for my niece and she loves it. Pages are thick enough that the felt tips don't bleed through. Took a few days to arrive but fine.

needed something for the kids club

We needed something for the kids club at our youth group that wasn't too babyish for the older ones. The stories are told with enough detail to hold their attention and the discussion prompts have been useful. The price is a bit higher than I'd like for a set this size, but the quality is decent and the order arrived in good time.

needed a reliable commentary series

I needed a reliable commentary series for my teaching work, and the volumes here cover the Gospels in a way that matches the standard reference texts I already use. The indexing is sensible and I could find the cross references quickly. Ordering the full set was painless and it arrived well packed.

My go to for years

I have been using this for years now, ever since my grandson was small and we started reading the stories together at bedtime. The newer editions still have the same warm illustrations I remember from the first one I bought. Every reorder has been straightforward and the account keeps my details so I don't have to type them in again.

Decent value for a family pack

Decent value for a family pack, you get enough stories to keep everyone going for months. The one niggle is that the postage fee was added at checkout rather than shown up front. Otherwise it's what we needed.

Compared with the library version

Compared with the version I borrowed from the library, this edition is far more pleasant to read through, with proper spacing and a sturdier cover. The text itself is the same translation my church uses, which mattered to me. The order came in good time and everything was in order.

The bible stories bookmark set

Ordered the bible stories bookmark set to go with the study books, the design is simple and the tassels are a nice touch. They fit in the books without catching the spine. The set arrived in a flat envelope with no damage at all.

sign up took ages and the emails never stopped

The sign up itself was fine but it asked me to confirm my details three separate times and by then I'd forgotten why I'd started. Once I was in, the stories were decent enough, the audio plays nicely through the car speakers. The reminder emails are a bit much though, I've had about four a week since I joined and I've not worked out how to turn them off properly.

needed something for the grandchildren

We needed something to read with the grandchildren during their visit, as they have been asking about the stories from school. The picture book version was just the right length for the younger two and the older one enjoyed the longer retellings. Ordering was simple and the pages look well made.

Much cheaper than the christian bookshop

Much cheaper than the christian bookshop in town, which I was expecting to cost a good deal more. The study guide is clearly laid out and has good questions at the end of each chapter. First order was smooth and the pages look solid so far.

good value for the money

Good value for the money, and the Bible story books arrived quicker than I expected. Paid around what I'd have spent on the high street and the pages are sturdy enough for the kids to handle.

first time signing up and it was dead easy

Had never used it before and was a bit worried it would be fiddly but I got through the sign up in about five minutes on my phone. Picked a monthly plan and the first story was waiting in the app straight away. Haven't tried loads yet but so far it does exactly what I wanted for my bus journeys.

better than the free app

Way better than the free Bible app I was using before, the stories are actually told properly instead of just text. Got the kids' pack for my little cousin and she's obsessed with it. Easy to sign up too.

Bought the animated bible stories set

Bought the animated Bible stories set for my daughter's Sunday school class and it's been brilliant. The episodes are short enough for the little ones to sit through and the price worked out much cheaper than the other places I looked. Ordering was simple, I had the download links within a few minutes and the whole set played fine on the tablet and the old laptop. Would definitely go back for the next series.
