Ralph Milton's stories are a wonderful addition for any leader using a lectionary based curriculum with children. Worship leaders who tell Bible storeis to children (and the rest of the congregation) will find a wealth to select from in this volume too.---Carol A. Wehrheim, Christian Educator and Author of Getting it Together and Giving Together
Lectionary Story Bible, Year C, provides colourful, dynamic biblical stories to help children and their families discover ways to live in God's way.---Dorothy Henderson, Christian Educator of the Year, 2005
Bible stories from both the Hebrew and New Testament Scriptures - heroic sagas, humour, romance and mystery. Ralph Milton's easy-going, loving style makes these stories accessible to all. Add Margaret Kyle's energetic illustrations and each story springs to life. Together the stories and illustrations portray a God of love to children and adults alike. Christian educators, camp leaders, worship leaders, and families who want to share their faith at home can use these stories to open avenues for discussion.
