Unpacking Bible truth through drama isn t a new idea - God told the prophets to act out their message and Jesus used dramatic action as well as words. These tried and tested dramas will help today s youngsters engage with the Bible. Not every drama is designed to be performed by children. Some will work better when adults perform them and others are written for a mixture of adult and child performers."
A beautifully illustrated collection of more than 50 Bible stories from the Old and New Testaments. Each story is crafted for reading aloud, so the whole family can share the experience.
Follow Me is an illustrated story Bible written for young children. These stories communicate the history of the Bible's story that continues until today, and until the end of the world. The stories selected highlight the scarlet thread of God's redemptive history. The stories of the Old Testament direct us to the Lord Jesus by showing us how much we need Him and how God promised to save the world through Him. In the New Testament, we hear how Jesus came to earth and increasingly manifested His kingdom by His words and deed- a kingdom that shall never end.
