Joshua's Journeys

Readers say, "Enjoyable…Intriguing…Speaks to the heart…" There's fun in store for one and all. Using her insights, masterful storytelling skills and gentle way with words, Ms. Deeth creates yet another group of Bible stories that will have your children begging for "Just one more." So gather everyone together as this long-time Christian Educator and Sunday School Teacher leads a fun and educational field trip into and through the Book of Joshua. Designed for independent reading by middle-graders, or reading aloud to younger children, each one of these linked short stories is not too long, not too short…but just the right length. The Israelites are encamped on the plains of Moab as their 40-year Exodus draws to close. Moses, the only leader they have ever known, gave them his final instructions and climbed Mt Nebo to join his God. Yet despite his absence, Moses didn't leave his people alone to fend for themselves. Before ascending the mountain, he laid his hands on Joshua and passed his mantle of leadership to him. Rather than a teacher, the people now follow Joshua; a military commander and spirit-filled warrior who will lead them in the coming conquest of the Promised Land. He parts the Jordan just as Moses parted the Red Sea and the Israelites cross dry land on their way to Jericho and the Promised Land. Come to know the people and events of this stirring story in way you never have before. Walk beside God's Chosen People as they subdue and settle the land of Canaan…the land promised to Abraham and his descendants, a land flowing with milk and honey. Joshua Journeys contains 40 plus Five-Minute Stories with its own concluding meditation. They're the ideal length for reading at bedtime or before a nap. Includes Author's Notes.
