Book SynopsisEntertaining retelling of Bible stories ideal for 7+ year old childrenTrade Review"I had not appreciated what an amusing book the Bible is until I saw it through Robert Duncan's eyes." -- Church of England Newspaper"An irresistible interpretation of the Scriptures' was how I described this slender but brilliant tome when it first appeared back in 1976, when my children, who loved it, were a lot younger - or even non-existent in some cases. Like the work on which they are based, Robert Duncan's entertaining retelling of these stories has survived the test of time and will, I hope, thanks to this revived and refreshed edition, entrance many future generations." -- Sir Tim Rice, lyricist and author"The stories are beautifully and succinctly told with gentle humour. Each story would take around ten minutes to read and I can imagine most children not wanting to stop at one. Would make an ideal book as a gift at a christening or dedication and if you have a library of children's books at church, this would be a delightful addition to the collection." -- Andy Peck; Premier YCW Magazine Online Hub

Book SynopsisComing from a working class background you might not have expected William Carey to impact the world but God had other plans. William was an inquisitive child and keenly interested in the natural world around him. He was bright and intelligent enough to teach himself Latin and Greek.

In his adult life Carey fulfilled many different roles such as husband, father and schoolmaster. He was also a preacher and pastor for the Baptist denomination and had a great passion to bring the gospel to other lands. He was one of the key individuals in 1792 to form The Baptist Missionary Society.

This book will introduce you to a young lad who learned to make shoes but who also became the father of today’s missionary movement.

Book Synopsis3 BC–AD 476 During the Middle Ages the church laboured to build a community of faith. Benedict, Columba, and Francis organized communities in which the Gospel could be preached. Theodulf, Anselm, and Bernard of Clairvaux answered the call to reform that community and theology. And when the church’s leaders drifted from the authority of Scripture, a first wave of reformers in Peter Waldo, John Wycliffe, and John Hus arose to call God’s people back to the grace of God. This was a Church that sought to reign, love and conquest, a Church that wanted to secure freedom, and proclaim the gospel. When that Church fell into corruption it undertook its own reform. Which one of these is the medieval Church? They all are! And in that we can find hope in the God Who loves His Church as we seek to live in His name.

Introducing key people and events from the last two thousand years, readers will be captivated by the fascinating stories and engaging writing style.
