The Family Bible Series offers a strong foundation for spiritual and intellectual nurture. Sit down with this book and a child, and create one of life's rich experiences.
Sometimes a gift becomes a curse. Joseph learned the hard way as a brand-new coat sent his life careening wildly off course, his life twisted by his brothers’ hatred. Once a prince in Canaan, now he was a slave in Egypt. But Joseph would have the last word. Because God can turn tragedy into triumph. 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.
Based on careful research, this book offers something for the whole family. Even seasoned Bible scholars will learn intriguing new facts about Joseph’s world. Names, places, and customs are carefully explained in depth in supplementary material. But most of all it’s loads of fun for boys and girls. Kids of all ages will thrive on these tantalizing vitamins for the soul: well-crafted stories that settle gently into their tender hearts and mould their destiny.
Jacob, son of Isaac, was a trickster. 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. Over the years his family grew. His sons would give birth to the 12 tribes of Israel. His lost son, Joseph, would become the prince of Egypt. But first Jacob had to deal with Esau, the angry hunter, and his band of soldiers. Would God save him from his brother? Or from himself?
With compelling power the ups and downs in the life of Jacob are dramatized here as never before. With thrilling elementary-level stories for kids, along with simplified versions for tiny tots. With splendid illustrations, maps, and photographs of artifacts from ancient times. With a comprehensive glossary that brings a forgotten age to life. With careful scholarship that looks beneath the surface to uncover secrets about important names and places in Genesis. There is something here for every member of the family. There is no better way to build character on the firm foundation of our Judeo-Christian heritage than to hang these rich tapestries of faith in the heart of a child.
How Can You Be a Father With No Children?
Abram was old and childless. Then God showed up. "I will make you a great nation," He said, and named him Abraham, "father of a people." Years later the impossible came true. Abraham's faith fathered three world religions: Judaism, Islam, and Christianity.
Now let ancient Near Eastern culture come alive for you! Survey the vistas of the Jordan. See the Griffin vultures that Abraham chased from his sacrifice. Laugh with 90-year-old Sarah at the birth of her miracle baby. Chill with horror at the sacrifice of Isaac. Experience Hagar's contempt. Ishmael's rivalry. Lot's choice. Sodom's doom.
Every sparkling chapter includes imaginative, true-to-life conversations. The main story line is on a fifth-grade level. The Bedtime Bible stories are for toddlers. The Did You Know? boxes, for more advanced readers, delve deep into ancient culture, explaining all about camels and covenants, Ur and angels. Included are a glossary, maps, genealogical diagrams, and beautiful original art.
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
At first a shoreless ocean covered a coal-black planet. Then God stepped into the inky nothingness and spoke. At the sound of His voice, dazzling light drove back the darkness. With a word God created all that is: sea and sky, wren and orchid, lamb and salmon. Finally He took a lump of clay, shaped it into human form, and breathed it to life. Eyelids fluttered and opened in wonder. God smiled. "Welcome to Eden," He said.
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. A full glossary explains the meaning of names from the first 11 chapters of Genesis. There is something for every member of the family, with differing styles and levels of writing for different ages. Advanced readers will enjoy the sampling of Creation and Flood accounts drawn from other cultures. The Bible stories themselves are on a fifth-grade level, followed by a simpler version of the same story written for tiny tots.

Story 3
A Story about how answers to prayer really happen. Also gives a simple lesson on why we may have to wait at times for the answers to come. Because His people had been slaves in Egypt for many long years, God called Moses to go to Pharaoh, the country's king, to tell him to release them. But Pharaoh was stubborn, and refused.

Story 4

Story 9
Probably one of the most printed bible stories ever. To state it simply, God produced a flood and an ark, the destiny of all people was decided on the choice they made, to believe and be saved or reject Noah's warning and perish. The story also reminds us of God's omnipotence.
