 As a parent, I am quickly frustrated when searching through bookshelves for Christian children’s literature.
In book after book I find poorly written stories, dull images, and content that ranges from meaningless to completely inaccurate. In fact, far too many religious books for children trivialize the story of salvation and its tales of mystery and majesty.
Since joining the staff at Sophia Institute Press 18 months ago (and becoming President last month), I have eagerly awaited the day we would release the book I’m going to tell you about...
…and so has my son, Alex.
You see, Alex often sits next to me on our back porch on Saturday mornings as I read through manuscripts Sophia might publish. He’s always begging to read from the loose papers flying around the house.
One day this summer, I brought home for him the manuscript for theRead-Aloud Book of Bible Stories. Having read it earlier in the week, I knew this was a fantastic book—but I wanted to get the reaction of my seven year old son.
Not only did he read and read and read, he recounted the stories to me, and was even telling them to his younger brothers and sister!
You can imagine his excitement when I brought home this book last week—as soon as it arrived in our warehouse.
I am confident that a child you know will share in Alex’s excitement.
The Read Aloud Book of Bible Stories, written by celebrated British author Amy Steedman, brings you three dozen beautiful and thrilling Bible stories that are sure to delight young children.
With the confidence of a master storyteller practiced in holding the attention of even the most restless children, she weaves tales of Noah and Moses, Solomon and David, and Daniel in the lion’s den.
She leads young listeners to marvel at the prophecies of the coming Savior, to be charmed by the gentle goodness of His boyhood, and to be dazzled by the scores of miracles that prove He is the Messiah who has come to save Israel—and also to save every child who hears these stories.
Continuing with stories about events after the Resurrection, Amy Steedman takes young readers and listeners along with Peter, Paul, and all the Apostles as they carry the Good News to the ends of the earth.
She even gives them a glimpse—with St. John—of the great marvels promised for the end of time.
These stories are suited to the understanding of young children and proportioned to the immense powers of their imagination, leaving them able and willing to believe in the truth of good things and in marvels they may not yet understand.
Now is the time to read Amy Steedman’s remarkable Bible stories to your children and plant in their souls these sweet seeds of truth and beauty.
For the coming week, we are offering a special on some of my favorite children's books. In fact, you can...
The Book of Books and The Book of Life are beautiful resources for young children. These are two of the best kept secrets in children's literature. My children understand Scripture so much better through the captivating retelling of the Old and New Testaments found in these two illustrated volumes. Storyteller Henri Daniel-Rops takes us from the sacred tales of creation through the greatest adventures of Hebrew history right to the appearance of the Angel to Mary and ultimately the betrayal that leads to the Cross.
