Um þessa rafbók

With characteristic warmth and humour, Ralph Milton retells Bible stories in an engaging, contemporary way for kids and adults. 'The Family Story Bible' meets the expectations of today's values-oriented parents by using inclusive language for God, and including stories of both men and women in the Bible. Readers will find old favourite stories and they will discover stories often overlooked in children's Bibles, such as the stories of the prophets, wisdom literature, and the letters of the early church. A delight to read and hear. Margaret Kyle's illustrations brim with energy, curiosity, and joy, capturing in full colour the setting and the spirit of the stories.
