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.
“The Awesome Book of Unusual Bible Heroes for
Kids is classic Sandy, and I always love both his stories and
his illustrations. He continues to be the most popular speaker for
our grade school kids. I will use his stories as material for my
high school messages.”
—Andy Gilbert, director of children and youth, high school
pastor, Eugene Faith Center
“With his usual verbal and artistic wit, Sandy Silverthorne once
again proves that he is the pied piper of Biblical truth for
today’s sophisticated kids.”
—Lee Hough, vice president of Alive Communications
“I especially like Silverthorne’s imaginative dialogue,
modernized narrative and captivating illustrations that kept me, an
adult, captivated. I know the stories will engage youngster’s
imaginations and leave them asking for more as they learn about
these exciting and unusual heroes of the Bible.”
—Gail Welborn, Examiner.com
