Description
This Children’s Bible Reader brings to life the central stories of the Old Testament and the New Testament and makes them accessible to children. Translated from the Greek Bible Society’s acclaimed work, this English edition with its easy-to-understand text and excellent iconographic illustrations will illumine the hearts and minds of our children and strengthen their faith as they read these inspiring stories from our sacred Scriptures.
From the Foreword:
"This wonderful English edition guides its readers through the sacred stories of our Church with illustrations that demonstrate the beauty of our Orthodox faith. The stories of the Bible are presented in a contemporary manner that engages our children with new pathways to understanding the timeless lessons of our Christian heritage. Each story is carefully selected as an invitation to walk in the footsteps of Christ, and the illustrated narratives serve as resources designed to kindle the imagination of every reader.
These images, of course, are not simply drawings. They are visual sermons that penetrate our hearts, edify our minds and nurture our souls with the seeds of God’s truth and love. But beyond the stories and the art, this book is ultimately a companion for spiritual growth and a treasure-trove for parents, students and teachers alike. Therefore, it is my fervent prayer that this publication will serve as a cherished source of enlightenment for our beloved children. May it be a lantern that guides them toward the radiant light of Christ, inspiring them to embrace the blessed ways of His goodness and mercy forevermore!"
With paternal love in the Lord,
