"How good it is when children know these classic stories!"
 

The Bible is full of exciting stories about the work and miracles of God. In this expressively illustrated book by Stefanie Scharnberg, the popular theologian and grandmother of seven Margot Käßmann tells a selection of the most beautiful and adventurous stories from the Old and New Testaments. The youngest children learn in child-friendly language how God created the world, the story of Moses, why Noah built a huge ship for all the animal pairs of the earth and his family, how Jonah was swallowed by a huge fish and why we celebrate Christmas. They discover what happened at Easter, and learn about the parable of the Good Samaritan and the most beautiful stories about Jesus. Time and again, Margot Käßmann finds new, exciting perspectives to present the biblical stories in a way that is suitable for children.

 

The impulse to buy: "It is important to me to familiarise my child/grandchild with the central stories of the Bible."
