The Family Bible Story Set includes four books; beautifully illustrated; featuring Biblical patriarchs: Adam & Eve: First God created the world and everything in it. Then He took a lump of clay; shaped it into human form; and breathed it to life. But sin invaded Paradise; bringing death. And so began the grand story of redemption: the tragedy of Cain and Abel. Enoch’s walk with God. Noah’s ark and the great Flood.Babel’s confusion of languages. It’s all in these pages; beautifully illustrated with specially commissioned art. Abraham: The exciting story of Abraham; the father of Judaism; Islam; and Christianity; is told in fascinating detail. True-to-life conversations make the story come alive for middle school kids; and information boxes for more advanced readers delve into ancient culture. Jacob: He laid a clever plot to steal the birthright blessing from his brother; Esau; a hunter. Esau was furious! Jacob fled for safety to his uncle Laban. But what goes around comes around; and so the trickster was tricked–he asked for the hand of Rachel; but woke up to find he’d gotten Leah instead. With compelling power the ups and downs in the life of Jacob are dramatized here as never before. Joseph: The amazing story of Joseph has everything: intrigue; suspense; violence; forgiveness; glamour; seduction; strange dreams; and a dramatic twist at the end. It tells us that injustice cannot keep good people down. No matter how dark the past; the future can be brighter than our fondest dreams.
