About This Book

A collection of accessible retellings of foundational biblical narratives, presented in simple prose with illustrations. It recounts the creation, fall, flood, and dispersion at Babel; follows the lives and trials of the patriarchs and matriarchs, the rise of Joseph and his experiences in Egypt, and the call and leadership of Moses including plagues, the sea crossing, and the wilderness worship arrangements. The later sections narrate the conquest and settlement, and highlight judges and leaders such as Deborah, Gideon, Samson, plus the story of Ruth and the early life of Samuel. Themes of faith, obedience, moral lessons, and divine guidance are emphasized throughout.
