MOM’S NEW TESTAMENT BIBLE STORIES

About the Book

In the Old Testament, we read how God made the heavens and the earth, the galaxies, animals and mankind. We see how man decided that he wanted to be his own God. Instead of obeying the creator God, he chose to disobey God and sold himself to sin, bringing sin into the world. How God promised that He would send a savior to buy people back from sin. The entire Old Testament is showing us the great lengths that God went to, to find the right time and the right people to be parents to his Son,whom He was sending into the world to be our Savior. The New Testament is God’s answer to our sin problem. God sent Jesus to become a man so we could see the face of God. Jesus shows us how much God loves us, enough to take our sins on himself and die in our place so we can be forgiven. Jesus wants us to learn to follow Him back to God, His Father. This book has stories from the New Testament about heroes and a few scoundrels to avoid. It repeats in places like the Gospels do, each seeing the same thing from a little differnt angle. My kids loved these stories. I think that your kids will love them too, Just tell, or read them these stories. Bible Heroes who stood up for God are the best heroes a child can have. Hearing about people who stood up for God even when things were hard, gives a child courage to stand up for what is right in his world today. Kids need heroes.

Shirley is a mother of four, grandmother to nine, wife to the same husband, Maynard, for 64 years. She taught country school, kindergarten and Chapter I for 26 years. Now she is retired. She is not a theologian or a pastor. She is a mother who wanted to be sure her children knew the Bible and it’s stories and found salvation. She taught Children’s Sunday School several years and she has taught Adult Sunday School classes for 62 years. She learned to use computers while teaching school and took up writing for enjoyment after retiring. She has written two other books: “Travelers”, a picture book of Monarch Butterflies in migration, with a poemto grandchildren; and “Mom’s Old Testament Bible Stories: Heroes and Scoundrels.” She wrote these Bible story books because her son asked her to write the stories that she used to tell her kids when they were young. They hated to do dishes, so she told them Bible stories as they dried dishes so they would stay interested and help without complaining. With six in the family, there were a lot of dishes. It gave them heroes to think about and encouraged them to make right decisions in their lives, to realize who Jesus is and follow Him. She hopes it will be a similar encouragement to all who read this book.
