The Awesome Book Of Unusual Bible Heroes For Kids

Kids often hear Sunday school lessons about Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, and Jesus. But what about Ehud, Deborah, Jonathan, and some of the other lesser-known but equally colorful heroes of the Bible? Popular children's author and illustrator Sandy Silverthorne uses hilarious drawings and modern-day settings to introduce kids to some of the everyday people God has used in amazing ways. Each story includes an age-appropriate devotional that ties a life lesson to the character and helps kids apply what they learn to their own lives. These tongue-in-cheek but historically accurate retellings will help readers (8 to 12 years old) discover some of the hidden gems in the Bible. Even "reluctant readers" will become immersed in these stories and enjoy watching the way God can turn anyone into a surprising and unusual hero in His plan to reach the world.

Readers of all ages will enjoy the challenge of discovering the answers to—or being stumped by—these interactive mysteries. In brief paragraphs and black-and-white illustrations, award-winning author Sandy Silverthorne and John Warner present 70 puzzles, each with a logical "aha" answer that requires thinking outside the box. Clues and answers are included in separate sections. Mystery: A man is looking at a clock that displays the correct time, but he doesn't know what time it is. Why not? Clues: The man can see and tell time perfectly well. The clock is normal and in plain sight. More than one clock is in the room. Solution: Each clock in the room is displaying a different time, so he doesn't know which one is correct. Hours of wholesome entertainment is practically guaranteed!
