Forgotten Bible Stories

The word of God is full of adventure, excitement and surprises. Look out for spies on a roof in Jericho and for a fiery furnace in Babylon. There’s a young boy who kills a giant, and a little girl who helps a brave soldier.

An elegantly illustrated collection of thirteen lesser-known Bible stories. Margaret McAllister imaginatively retells these tales of often-forgotten people, specially chosen for their care and compassion towards the vulnerable, and their (sometimes unexpected) strength of character.

However the most important story is the amazing truth about God’s Son, Jesus, who died on the cross for our sins and then came back to life! Read all these wonderful stories and more in this special collection for children.

One simple question with each story will help young readers to engage with the text.
