Publisher's Synopsis
The Bible records the timeless story of God and his people, and celebrates the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, born 2000 years ago. THE 21ST CENTURY CHILDREN'S BIBLE now celebrates that story for a new generation. All the familiar stories are here, together with reference material to help today's readers understand the story, times and culture of the world's best-known book. Illustrated in full colour throughout, it includes 365 stories - from `The Cunning Snake' to `The Rainbow', `Disaster in Egypt' to `Jonah at Sea', `Jesus and The Little Children' to `Paul Sets Sail' - retold by Stephanie Jeffs in vibrant and understandable language. Scene-setters and reference panels explain more about the meaning of the stories, difficult words and facts. Also included are maps and pictures of Bible times, and special feature pages on subjects such as Families, Food, The Ten Commandments and the New Testament World. Used as a story book, a bedtime Bible, or an information book, this is the Children's Bible for the 21st Century.
