Age Range: 8 and up"I am Eve, the first woman God made. I have come to tell you about the creation of the world and what happened in Eden."So begins one of the many exciting lessons in this surprising adventure catechism -- lessons taught by Abraham, St. Patrick, St. Cecilia, and, of course, Eve, the mother of all mankind.Eve tells young Cecilia and Michael how the world was made and how the Devil deceived her. She describes the sorrowful events that followed. Abraham picks up the story, speaking of his own life, of Moses, and of the savior God promised the Jews.But this is an adventure catechism, so in these pages there's more than talk: Abraham takes the children back in time to watch Moses save the Israelites by parting the Red Sea. St. Patrick lets them see the Druids try to kill him for his Catholic faith. And he takes Michael and Cecilia to Bethlehem, where they stand with the shepherds in adoration of the newborn King.Between catechism lessons taught by saints, the children travel back in time to witness persecuted Catholics risking their lives to attend furtive Masses in Roman days, in Reformation England, and in the Soviet Union just a few decades ago.Through words and witnessing, deeds and doctrine, adventurous Michael and Cecilia learn the central truths of our Catholic Faith and discover how important they are, even today.

Age Range: 8 and upAngel stories from the Bible -- for kidsModern believers may be tempted to look upon angels as one of the more fanciful elements of Scripture, but this illuminating and entertaining collection of angel stories from the Bible shows that there are just too many angels for them to be metaphorical, allegorical, or unimportant.So that children will come to know and learn to revere angels, Marigold Hunt explains what angels are (and are not ) and gathers here in one volume most of the stories of angels in the Bible, including exciting tales of: The fallen angels, beginning with the devil himself, tempting Adam and EveThe angel who barred the gates of Eden so Adam and Eve could never enter againThe angels who announced that Sara, Abraham's aged wife, would have a babyThe angels who tried to save Lot from destruction with the city of SodomThe angel who stayed Abraham's hand as he was about to sacrifice his son IsaacThe angels in Jacob's dream who climbed the stairway to HeavenThe angels who saved Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago from the fiery furnaceThe angel Raphael, who shielded Tobias from death, and protected his wife SaraThe angels at the Ascension who chided the apostles for staring at the skyThe angel Gabriel, who foretold the birth of Jesus and John the BaptistThe choirs of angels who sang above Bethlehem when Jesus was bornThe angel who carried food to Daniel when he was imprisoned in the lion's denThe angel who freed Peter from prison, and, of course: The countless angels who fill the marvelous pages of the Book of RevelationChildren will be charmed by these exciting tales.
