You are holding “The Bible for Children,” written more than 100 years ago by a priest, P. Vozdvizhensky. This unique, unparalleled work combines the wisdom of Sacred Scripture with the simplicity and accessibility of a children’s book. The collection includes 31 understandable and entertaining stories from the Old and New Testaments, retold for children ages 5–10. Many years ago, back in pre-revolutionary Russia, this book was recognized as the best retelling of the Bible for children—and it remains so to this day. “The Bible for Children” will become a child’s spiritual guide, the first and most important step on the path to Christian life, and will help lay the foundations of high spirituality and morality in the child.
The Bible stories were written especially for children by the priest P. N. Vozdvizhensky (1892–1938)—in an easy, interesting, clear, and vivid way.
The Old Testament sections—creation of the world, the idyllic life of Adam and Eve in Paradise, the worldwide flood, the reign of the wise King Solomon—will captivate your child, and the accessible presentation of the texts from the Great Book will allow children from age 5 to understand for themselves and make independent conclusions after hearing the stories.
The New Testament is the second part of the Bible, describing the coming of the Savior. In fact, almost the entire New Testament is written about Him. The Old Testament foretold His coming, and the New tells of the most significant event in the history of the Christian world—the coming of Christ the Savior, his flawless life, death, and resurrection.
