I am with you

Lene Mayer-Skumanz, author of many books for children and teens, has adapted stories from the Old and New Testament into today's language. She draws the readers into the age-old dramas of humankind: adventures of fear and despair, love and passion, virtue and treason. And above all our deep longing for a higher power who gives us strength and in whom we can put our trust.Once the reader starts leafing through the pages of this Bible, he gets drawn into the book also by the powerful illustrations by the Czech artist Martina Spinkova. The pictures ask you: Where are you in this story? Can you feel God with you, now that you are reading in His book?

Don Bosco's Big Book of Bible Stories fulfills the requirements of modern Religious Pedagogy and Exegesis: The age-appropriate narratives follow the original texts closely. Different narrative forms and disturbing contents remain intact, but are preceded by short introductions. The text honours the Bible as a treasure trove of experiences very many different people made on their way with God through the centuries. Thus, children at the age for First Holy Communion can start making their own experiences with the book of books.
