Old Testament Stories: Joshua, Ruth, David, Daniel
Old Testament Stories: Joshua, Ruth, David, Daniel
by St Augustine Acadamy Press
Bible Stories for Baby Hands is our new collection of board books that bring the beauty of traditional religious art to a format that the littlest ones can benefit from. If you are tired of blobby cartoon characters and mushy stories, now you can put something inspiring into their hands.
The colour lithographs on each page are based on engravings by Julius Schnorr von Carolsfeld for his 1860 Bible in Pictures. Each one is meant to dramatically encapsulate the story it represents, so that by simply pointing to elements in the picture, an adult can easily tell the story to the child. Therefore, for the youngest children, the pictures alone suffice.
However, we have not neglected to add text. Beneath each illustration is a quote from scripture that pertains to the story that is depicted above. Then, as the child gets older, the full story behind each picture is provided.
For the New Testament books, we chose to take the text directly from scripture. Sometimes this required paraphrasing portions in order to fit the full story. We smoothed the vocabulary and syntax in a few places, only where necessary to make it understandable for younger ears; otherwise we allowed the power of the original text to shine through.
For the Old Testament books, the original scripture passages were usually far too long, so we did our best to write them in language that fit with the others; however, we tried to include quotes and phraseology from scripture where possible. Many of these Old Testament stories include prefigurements of Christ, so we wove this into the text, mentioning how these characters tell us something about Jesus.
Book 2 is Old Testament Stories: Joshua, Ruth, David, Daniel. This includes the stories of the spies who scouted out the land of Canaan, Samson and the Lion, Ruth, David and Goliath, Elijah and the Ravens, and Daniel in the Lions Den.

Nursery Book of Bible Stories
Nursery Book of Bible Stories
by Amy Steedman
From the scores of beautiful and thrilling tales in the Bible, celebrated British author Amy Steedman has collected three dozen that are sure to delight young children.
With the confidence of a master storyteller practiced in holding the attention of even the most restless child, she weaves tales of Noah and Moses, Solomon and David, and Daniel in the lion’s den. She leads young listeners to marvel at prophesies of the coming Savior, to be charmed by the gentle goodness of His boyhood, and be dazzled by the scores of miracles that proved He is the Messiah coming to save Israel … and to save, as well, every little child who hears these stories!
Continuing with stories about events after the Resurrection, Miss Steedman takes young readers along with Peter, Paul, and the Apostles as they carry the Good News to the ends of the Earth, and she even gives them a glimpse, with St. John, of the marvels promised for the end of time!
Today, too many religious books for young children trivialize the story of salvation and its many tales of mystery and majesty!
Not these classic read-aloud stories that have proven their worth for over a century now!
These stories are suited to the unlimited understanding of young children; but they’re proportioned as well to the immense powers of imagination which remain uncrippled in little children, leaving them for the meantime still able and willing to believe in the truth of good things, and in marvels they may not yet understand.
Now is the time to read Amy Steedman’s remarkable Bible stories to your child … to plant in their souls these sweet seeds of truth and beauty. Be patient! Not too long from now, you’ll find them blooming into a mature and abiding faith in Jesus.

A Story of Daniel The Prophet
by Brother Edward Overstreet, C.S.C.
Daniel was born more than 600 years before the birth of Jesus. When he was a teenager, the Jewish nation was conquered by King Nebuchadnezzar, and Daniel was taken to Babylon as a hostage. Because of his wisdom, he was selected to become an advisor to the King of Babylon. Daniel put God first in his life, and was obedient and faithful to God’s laws—even when doing so put his own life in danger. When the king had Daniel thrown into a lions’ den, God saved Daniel. Reading this story can encourage us to follow in the footsteps of Daniel the prophet, who trusted in God and showed great courage when he placed the laws of God above the demands of an earthly ruler.

A Life of Our Lord for Children
A Life of Our Lord for Children
by Marigold Hunt
Dear Children:
"The Gospels are four very short books that tell you about our Lord's life. You can read them quite fast. The reason the same story takes so much longer to tell in this book is that the men who wrote the Gospels just went straight on and hardly even stopped to explain anything. They couldn't be expected to know how we would live, and that we would have forgotten how people dressed and spoke and built houses, and the other customs they had in those days. So in this book, I have to stop and explain all the time, but after you've read it, the explaining will have been done, and you can start reading the Gospels yourself any time you want."
So says the author of this rich retelling of the life of Christ, a tale that possesses the interest, lucidity, and dignity that marks the best of books for children.
Marigold Hunt begins with Adam and Eve and goes quickly through the Old Testament to Jesus, whom she presents simply but not trivially, so children encounter Him in His goodness, His suffering, and His majesty.
Hunt speaks in words and phrases that young children understand and explains terms they may not know. She includes devotions from the Bible (such as the Magnificat, the Beatitudes, and the Canticle of Zachary) along with many of Christ's parables (which she explains).
A Life of Our Lord for Children will make sense of Scripture for your children and help them be more attentive during Mass when they hear the same tales directly from the Gospels.

A Book of Angels
Stories of Angels in the Bible
by Marigold Hunt
Angel stories from the Bible — for children!
Modern believers may be tempted to look upon angels as one of the more fanciful elements of Scripture, but this illuminating and entertaining collection of angel stories from the Bible shows that there are just too many angels for them to be metaphorical, allegorical, or unimportant.
So that children will come to know and learn to revere angels, Marigold Hunt explains what angels are (and are not!) and gathers here in one volume most of the stories of angels in the Bible, including exciting tales of:
- The fallen angels, beginning with the devil himself, tempting Adam and Eve
- The angel who barred the gates of Eden so Adam and Eve could never enter again
- The angels who announced that Sara, Abraham's aged wife, would have a baby
- The angels who tried to save Lot from destruction with the city of Sodom
- The angel who stayed Abraham's hand as he was about to sacrifice his son Isaac
- The angels in Jacob's dream who climbed the stairway to Heaven
- The angels who saved Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago from the fiery furnace
- The angel Raphael, who shielded Tobias from death, and protected his wife Sara
- The angels at the Ascension who chided the apostles for staring at the sky
- The angel Gabriel, who foretold the birth of Jesus and John the Baptist
- The choirs of angels who sang above Bethlehem when Jesus was born
- The angel who carried food to Daniel when he was imprisoned in the lion's den
- The angel who freed Peter from prison, and, of course:
- The countless angels who fill the marvelous pages of the Book of Revelation
Children will be charmed by these exciting tales.

The Bible Story
The Bible Story
by Fr. George Johnson, Fr. Jerome Hannan, and Sr. M. Dominica, O.S.U.
The Bible Story is the first in a trilogy of books written for Benziger Brothers by the team of Rev. George Johnson, Rev. Jerome Hannan and Sister Mary Dominica - the other two being the well-loved Bible History and The Story of the Church. While these others are respectively intended for the intermediate and upper grades, this little volume seeks to introduce younger students to the “greatest book in all the world.”
Using the best pedagogical methods of the time, they sought to centre the narrative on the characters themselves, as a way of drawing in the attention of little ones who love stories. And yet to the extent possible, the phraseology of scripture is used. Study questions and suggested activities for learning reinforcement are also provided at the back of the book.
Best of all, dozens of beautiful, full-colour illustrations help cement the reality and beauty of the message of salvation in the young mind.
