The Nursery Book of Bible Stories Amy Steedman

This wonderful, illustrated book contains 35 Bible stories for children, that young Christians may learn and appreciate the tales and truths of the Good Book.

These tales follow the order of the Bible, with the Book of Genesis and the Creation and Adam and Eve being the first stories we're told. We then hear of Noah building his ark, that the creatures of the Earth will survive the Great Flood. Other Biblical figures soon follow, such as Moses and King Solomon; their lives and deeds, guided by the wisdom they had gifted from God, are among the most memorable stories of scripture.

Later on in the book, the life of Jesus Christ and His disciples appear. We hear about Jesus's birth in a stable in Nazareth, His life as a boy and the education He received, and his adulthood spent as a revered preacher. The preaching that Jesus practiced in Judaea is very interesting and wise, and his greatest parables are related in a way that everybody can understand.

Amy Steedman was a prolific, talented children's author. Twenty-five pictures and drawings accompany these stories, helping young readers and their parents to visualize the narration.
