The Boy Samuel
Samuel – Israel’s foremost prophet – grows up in the most unusual of places, the temple. Although a beloved son, his parents choose a different life for him and he is sent to Shiloh to live with Eli the priest as a very young child. The bright and colourful illustrations depict happiness that communicates the joy of the Lord.
The language is clear and simple, and entirely age appropriate. Where bible stories can be quite succinct, this book brings the story to life in a way that would appeal to children as they can relate to the language and everyday emotions.
The Boy with The Five Loaves and Two Fish
The much-loved story of Jesus feeding the five thousand, is narrated in a clear way that will appeal to children and in simple language they can easily understand and relate to.
Several bright and colourful illustrations show beautiful seaside pictures that will be especially engaging to younger readers.
Fleshed out nicely with scenic details, the descriptions of the location and vividness of the characters (even fictional ones like his grandmother) make for a memorable story. I would have liked it if the author had created a name for our unexpected hero rather than referring to him as ‘the boy with the five loaves and two fish’ throughout. This however will not detract from the readers’ overall enjoyment.
The young boy is a very relatable character whose generosity produces unexpected results from which children can learn biblical principles of caring and sharing, and the rewards of obedience. It is heart-warming to see that the boy gave up his lunch without any expectations just because he was drawn to Jesus’s kind eyes and smile.
Here are some sample questions in English, French and Spanish!
What is the name of the town where the grandmother of the boy with the five loaves and two fish lived?
- Blue Water Town
- Green Water Town
- Galilee
- Red Water Town
Kari’s Sweet Encounter With the Bible, The Oracles of God
Monolingual and Bilingual Publications
Kari, a gorgeous, vibrant, ambitious career girl sets off on the trip of a lifetime only to be brought to a crashing halt by an explosion at the airport. Her life as she knows it ends, and she embarks on a different journey. Her adventures in heaven, meeting Jesus and the celestial splendour are so absorbing, you can almost feel the light in your soul.
The ethereal descriptions of the people, angels, and especially of Jesus are beautiful and entrancing. Simple yet vivid, it will draw in and inspire the reader to see heaven as the alluring and truly wondrous place that it is. The illustrations are so sparkly and radiant, the book is almost luminescent. The author’s aim of prompting readers to engage with the bible is achieved without being pushy.
I particularly enjoyed the different scenarios where various people are comforted and encouraged by scripture specific to their situation and felt both comforted and encouraged. The importance of words, particularly the word of God, is highlighted, which would hopefully stir the reader to pick up the bible, explore their faith and be open to the person of Jesus.
The Bible stories are published in French, English and Spanish.
The electronic versions of the books are all available on Amazon Kindle.
The books have comprehension questions in English, French and Spanish which enhance children’s learning experience greatly.
