One hundred children from biblical times - the sons and daughters of fishermen, doctors, shepherds, farmers, incense makers, dove sellers and many more introduce each story painting a vivid picture of the times they live in as well as telling best loved stories from the Old and New Testaments. Everyone's favourites are here Adam and Eve, Noah's Ark, the parting of the Red Sea, Daniel in the Lion's Den and David and Goliath from the Old Testament. And from the New Testament the nativity story, the miracles of Jesus, the parables, Jesus' death on the cross and the resurrection complete this bumper book of stories.
