Review

Joseph: David-Brave Shepherd Boy who Became a Great King as well as the entire Men and Women in the Bible Series are well written in a way that follows the scriptures and at the same time make it easy for young readers to understand and remember. The graphics bring the stories alive and communicate to kids who are used to the visual being combined with a story. Two year olds love the graphics while you read the stories to them. I start my students as early as 3 years reading these books. I use the entire Men and Women in the Bible Series, Moses, Joseph, King David, Elijah, Samuel, Daniel, St.Paul, Ester, Ruth, Mary Magdalene, Mary, Hannah, Miriam. I believe you will want them all as well. --Jan Greve Pastor's Wife and Retired Christian Education Director, Bible Fellowship Leader, Stephen Ministry Leader
