More Than a Story: Old Testament (Sally Michael)

More Than a Story – Old Testament

Exploring the Message of the Bible with Children

More Than a Story: (Old Testament) is a new kind of Bible resource for children (ages 6-12)—taking them on a chronological journey through the Bible with a God-centered, gospel-focused, discipleship-oriented, theologically grounded perspective.

Though the Bible is full of stories, it is much more than a story. It is the authoritative Word of God that, throughout its pages, proclaims and magnifies the majestic character of God, His work in this world, and His plan of redemption for sinful men through His Son, Jesus.

Author Sally Michael takes her readers – children and their parents – on a chronological journey through the Bible, exploring both the breadth and depth of Scripture.  The key truths of the Christian faith are emphasized and clearly explained to children, all to lead them to the glorious realities of the gospel.  This volume covers the Old Testament.

Written in an interactive style, it enables parents and children to engage in conversations addressing the mind, heart, and will, encouraging children to “set their hope in God” (Psalm 78:7). Above all, More Than a Story was written to inspire the worship of God for the glory of God!
