Description
The Pilgrim book of Bible Stories is based on the NRSV, and uses a fresh approach that roots the stories and the art in the historical context of their times. The retold stories feature inclusive language for God and humanity. Children can discover the original Bible story in the 'Read-the-Story-for-Yourself' section on each page that highlight the corresponding Bible references in the overall text. Also, inviting side panels provide background information about artifacts and customs, writings and beliefs. Israeli artist Diana Shimon captures the light and flavor of the Middle Eastern countryside, the tumble of village life, the work of the potters and smiths, and ethnically appropriate portraits of the people of the time. A colorful and highly researched book, young people and their families will be captivated by the story of God's people through the Hebrew and Christian Scriptures. Recommended for ages 9 to 12.
