Storytelling is a vital part of our faith: people passing on the stories of their belief by word of mouth or in written form. Written in child-friendly language, this book follows that tradition, enabling children to hear the stories of their faith as engaging and interesting accounts of real events and real people. Key events and people have been selected and arranged so that, in the Old Testament, children can understand the developing story of the people of God and, in the New Testament, they can easily access different aspects of the life and ministry of Jesus.

This is an ideal book for reading at home, for church and also for school, where it gives children ready access to the stories they need to underpin their work in RE lessons. It allows them to understand their story as a people of God.
