The Cave Of Reconciliation

An Abrahamic Tale/an Ibrahamic Tale

BY PECKI SHERMAN WITONSKY, ILLUSTRATED BY KATIE SCOTT
Three Faiths; Two Stories; One Beginning. In the Southern Judea region, 3,050 feet above sea level, lies a city; some know it as Hebron, others Al-Khalil. In this city there sits a cave with three names: the Tomb of the Patriarchs, Ma'arat Ha'Machpelah, and al-Haram al-Ibrahimi. The cave is said to house the remains of a man and his family. The name can be pronounced Abraham, Avraham, or Ibrahim, but the man is the same. The Cave of Reconciliation is a book with two sides. Read from one end, it tells the story of Abraham and his son Isaac, flip the book and it recounts the tale of Ibrahim and Ishmael.

How God Fix Jonah

BY LORENZ GRAHAM, ILLUSTRATED BY ASHLEY BRYAN
"The son of an African Methodist Episcopal minister in California, Graham taught in a missionary school in Liberia in the 1920s. He wrote this collection of biblical story-poems, which he published in 1946, in the voices of West African teachers and students. Now the collection has been reissued in a handsome volume with dramatic, new, full-page block prints by Ashley Bryan. The stories, great for reading aloud, have the simplicity and rhythm of the oral tradition. Both colloquial and poetic, they bring the holy into daily life." - Hazel Rochman

The Usbourne Family Bible

RETOLD BY HEATHER AMERY, ILLUSTRATED BY ELENA TEMPORIN, DESIGNED BY LAURA FEARN
I would say this is the best of the Children's bibles that we stock. The pictures are simple but dignified and the text though simplified does not talk down to the reader. See the enlarged image and judge for youself.
