Book details
Logan Marshall - Author
This is a child-focused retelling of selected Bible stories, designed to support shared reading, explanation and repeated familiarity.
The Bible is one of the two or three oldest books in the world, but unlike most of the ancient books, it is found not only in great libraries, but in almost every home of the civilized world; and it is not only studied by learned scholars, but read by the common people; and its many stories grasp and hold the attention of little children. Happy is that child who has heard, over and over again, the Bible stories until they have become fixed in his mind and memory, to become the foundations of a noble life.It is with the desire of aiding parents and teachers in telling these stories, and aiding children to understand them, also in the hope that they may be read in many schools, that a few among the many interesting stories in the Bible have been chosen, brought together and as far as necessary simplified to meet the minds of the young.

The collection is presented as helping children understand Bible stories and as potentially shaping their moral foundations through repeated familiarity.
Selected stories have been brought together and simplified to meet the minds of young readers, with parents and teachers encouraged to help explain them.
Pay attention to how the book presents religious teaching: it is not framed as neutral story collection, but as material hoped to help form a “noble life”. Discuss how readers might interpret that aim.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: the current material supports only a cautious reading; another book-specific source is still needed.
