Bible Stories for the Forty Days

by Melissa Musick Nussbaum, Judy Jarret (Illustrator)

This book contains a wonderfully told story from the Bible for each day of Lent. Parents and teachers can read this book with very young children; older children will make it their own. Stories from both the Old and New Testaments bring to life characters we all need to know, from Adam and Eve and Noah to patriarchs, matriarchs, liberators, judges, and prophets. Also included are often overlooked stories of heroic women. When a story is read each day, the characters take us through the 40 days of Lent and toward the celebration of Easter each year. Children (and adults) will love these stories so much youll want to keep this book out all year long. Published by Liturgy Training Publications.
