About This Book
Readers say, "A marvelous teaching tool"… "Provides an insider's view of Biblical events"…"The stories practically jump off the page…" "My children hated to see it end." With the publication of Jerusalem Journey, the Ninth Volume in her perennially-popular Five-Minute Bible Story Series, Biblical author and consummate storyteller, Sheila Deeth, concludes her trip through the Gospels. As always, Ms. Deeth employs a varied cast of characters. Mother Mary's there, of course, and Mary of Magdala, Veronica with her veil, Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus. She introduces number of the disciples, including Simon, later known as Peter, Thomas, whom history has dubbed "Doubting Thomas," John, the "Beloved Disciple," Nathaniel, Phillip and Andrew. Mary of Bethany is there too…along with her sister Martha and brother Lazarus. But the book's not devoted to just the good guys. Annas, Caiaphas, Pilate, and Herod all make an appearance...even Judas and Barabbas show up. All-in-all, the book contains over 40 linked short stories designed for Middle Grade Readers. It's also a great source of bedtime or naptime stories for younger children. Whatever their age, your kids will love it! Like all of the Five-Minute Bible Stories, it'll have them begging for "just one more." Author's Notes Included.
