BIBLE STORIES
(excerpts from posts)
(If you want to retell any of the stories listed below, be sure to obtain permission from the copyright holder if the material is not in the public domain)

1) There's a retelling of Jonah by Bob Hartman in Bible Bad Guys. What is most interesting about this is that he frames the story as one about prejudice rather than disobedience.
Book Description
Best-selling author Bob Hartman uses his remarkable storytelling ability to bring Bible characters to life in fresh, dramatic, and often humorous ways. These are the tales of bad guys turned good, good guys making bad choices, and truly terrible guys getting what they deserve. Stubborn Pharaoh, Power-mad Herod, Misguided-but-reformable Zacchaeus, and Cowardly Peter. Ten stories, drawn from the Old and New Testaments, will appeal to children and parents alike as they bring new understanding to biblical stories and characters. This is a great family book for reading aloud and discussing together.

3)Three books:
Does God Have a Big Toe?: Stories About Stories in the Bible by Marc Gelman.
Book Description
Before there was anything, there was God, and a few angels, and a huge swirling glob of rocks and water with no place to go. The angels asked God, "Why don't you clean up this mess?"

This collection of short, funny stories is one man's interpretation of how God did just that -- with some very unlikely help. There was Adam, who decided to number the animals instead of giving them names -- until he lost count. There was Max, a matchmaking angel disguised as a camel. And who could forget the kindly dolphins of the Red Sea or the builders of the spectacularly chaotic Tower of Babel, whose foundation rests in one small girl's question: "Mommy, does God have a big toe?"

Reflecting Mr. Gellman's lifelong love for his subject, this witty collection of midrashim provides a wonderful way to learn about and to share the stories of the Bible. Distinguished artist Oscar de Mejo brings the right blend of reverence and humor with his magnificent oil paintings.

Stories That Sneak Up on You: 30 Parables for Pastors, Teachers, and Youth Workers by John Duckworth.
Review by a customer
I used this book at camp for devotions and to read to the kids as they fell asleep; however, I also gained a great deal from the parables as well. The material in the book is very relevent to several different challenges facing the church, is Biblically based, and entertaining. Stories has a piece called Joan 'n' the Whale, which would be appropriate for this age group and could be adapted a little.

4) Here is a version of the Jonah story:
The Lion Children's Bible by Pat Alexander.
•••••

5) From: Hambrick, Doriss: the calming the waves is hard for very young children to get interested in - it's always a struggle I'm usually telling biblical tales to mixed ages 5-12 so to engage the younger children I work in lots of participation particularly with Bible stories older children may have heard many times. To calm the waves, 4 children are selected to shakes 4 corners of a long length of lightweight blue cloth so it rolls in waves. I play my drum while other children slap their thighs thunderously. The drum sets the pace slower & clothes waves lower & slower while thigh slaps move to finger snaps to simply brushing fingers as rain diminishes and quiet returns. I give the instructions first then tell the story till the storm bursts, we do the storm, and then I finish the story. Listen to the soft beat of the drum. Listen to the soft beat of your heart. Listen to the voice of God telling you that you are safe. You are loved.

6) This version is not for kids, but it helped me see the Jonah story in a whole new way. It is from our church web site, and the creator of this review of the ancient text is a former-presbyterian-minister/Ph.D. -now-Unitarian-Universalist-and-also-an-M.D.-psychiatrist. You may know that Ninevah is in present-day Iraq.

Read by Jason Robards
Original Music by George Mgrdichian

• Jonah and the Whale (and the Worm) by Jean Marzolo.
From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 3–Marzollo continues her series of accessible retellings of Bible stories. After God releases Jonah from the whale, the prophet remains reluctant to fulfill God's mandate that he preach to the Ninevites. He finally does so, and although they change their ways, Jonah still feels that they should be punished for their past sins. As he waits outside the city, hoping that God will destroy at least part of it, he observes the actions of a humble cutworm and learns a lesson about God's love that convinces him to forgive his enemies. The expressive watercolor illustrations and gentle text provide a solid starting point for collaborative reading and discussion. The text alternates between omniscient narration and dialogue between Jonah and God. Tiny octopuses in the margins also comment on the tale, foreshadowing events and prompting page turns. This book is a fun, unpretentious take on a favorite old story.–Anne M. Holcomb, Los Angeles Public Library
• Jonah and the Whale (A Chunky Book(R)) by Mary Josephs, Benrei Huang.
• Jonah and the Whale (Pop-Up Books) by Little Moorings.
• Jonah the Whale by Susan Richards Shreve.
Book Description
Jonah is lonely, overweight, and the new boy in school. To escape the taunts of his classmates, he reinvents himself as a talk show host and turns his fantasy into reality by getting real celebrities to talk to him.
• Jonah and the Whale (My Very First Bible Stories) by Lois Rock and Alex Ayliffe.
• Jonah and the whale (Dear God Kids, are you telling me something?) by Anne Fitzgerald.
• The Hard to Swallow Tale of Jonah and the Whale (Tales from the Bible) by Joyce Denham and Amanda Hall.
Book Description
Children love the story of Jonah for its qualities of adventure and daring: a dangerous mission, a runaway prophet, danger at sea, and an incredible rescue. Joyce Denham’s stylish rendition of Jonah’s story is fresh and appealing.
• Jonah and the Whale by Bernadette Watts.
Book Description
When Jonah, refusing his Lord's request to spread the Word to the people in the corrupt city of Nineveh, heads for the high seas, the Lord summons up a terrible storm that threatens all aboard and sends Jonah into the watery depths where he is swallowed by a whale. Trapped for days in the belly of the whale, Jonah sees the error of his ways and is mercifully set free to fulfill his mission. The story of Jonah is an exciting tale of danger and adventure that offers children a direct and satisfying lesson in disobedience, punishment, forgiveness, and redemption. Bernadette Watt's illustrations, done in a gentle naif folk art style, exude warmth and childlike appeal, making this simple retelling of the Old Testament story accessible to a young audience.
•••••

7) The story of Jonah has been reframed for me so I approach it as a story about the effects of prejudice more so than just not going where God calls you. I usually tell the stories and leave them alone---Though I do much interpretation in the way I tell the story---The way I say the words that are spoken, how I image the story myself. If a lesson is to be extracted---I extract it in discussion not by telling them how to understand the story or what it means. I am more interested in them learning the story---than some interpretation of the story's meaning. If they learn--own the story--they will be able to use it in many ways in years to come. I will spend the time having them retell the story--rather than moralizing on it. This equips the child with a powerful tool--a story--they can use in many situations throughout thier life. Rather than encapsulating that story in a plastic shell. My hackles go up when I hear people forcing adult interpretations---way beyond the children's mental comprehension---onto stories I see this happening more with Bible stories than any other type of story---they don't do it with the Three Little Pigs, or Cinderella, or Brer Rabbit. All teaching stories. These people have no understanding or appreciation of "story and the power of stories" ---
•••••

8) I tell Moses from the viewpoint of his older brother Aaron - there's a new baby in the family, Aaron is jealous and resentful but comes around when he thinks the baby may come to harm floating in the river. I think Jonah needs to carry on through the end - younger children don't get the final point (we need to follow God's plan with sincerity and be grateful when anyone is spared, i.e., love your neighbor), but the older ones are beginning to grasp the concept and I think that is better than the admonition that you will get swallowed by a great big fish if you do wrong - I consider the story a long term investment and actually usually tell it from the viewpoint of a small girl in Nineveh who meets Jonah on the street as he is prophesying - describing a person who has been spit out of the belly of a fish is fun - think how stinky he would be! I like the fishes and loaves story from the viewpoint of the little boy with the basket - imagine his hesitation in offering and his amazement at the miracle - pretty exciting.
•••••

9) A great resource for this age group ( and MOST age groups) is Does God Have a Big Toe?: Stories About Stories in the Bible. It is a book written by a Jewish Rabbi, Marc Gelman, who takes the Jewish Bible stories and does Midrash on them to bring them up to the current time. Great Stories.

11) I co-taught First Day School at Palo Alto Friends Meeting once a month last school year. Each time we started with a parable from the book Parables: Stories Jesus Told by Mary Hoffman. Mary gives a brief intro and follow-up including queries for each of eight stories. After I shared the story, the other teacher took the six to ten year olds to do an activity that explored the meaning of the parable. I took the eleven to fifteen year olds and explored the life and teachings of Jesus using the book
Jesus: What He Really Said and Did by Stephen Mitchell. It is an adaptation for teens of the work he did to write The Gospel According to Jesus.
• Parables: Stories Jesus Told by Mary Hoffman and Jackie Morris.
Book Description
Jesus taught his followers through the use of parables; seemingly simple tales that reveal a deeper, more complex meaning. Christians the world over continue to tell and to ponder these timeless lessons. Now Mary Hoffman recounts eight of these important stories in accessible, beautiful language,
perfect for sharing with a child. Every parable features an introduction and an afterword that convey Ms. Hoffman's insights into the parables and helps to make them understandable in the contemporary world. These lovely, eternal stories are marvelously complemented by the soft, richly colored watercolors of Jackie Morris. This is a treasure for readers both young and old.
• Jesus: What He Really Said and Did by Stephen Mitchell.
Book Description
"The book you are about to read is a portrait of one of the most beautiful men who ever lived. He himself would probably not have considered himself beautiful or even special. He would have said that we are all beautiful, we are all special, because -- and he did say this -- we are all children of God..."
"When you're able to look inside yourself deeply, you'll find that the teacher who taught Jesus will teach you."
• The Gospel According to Jesus by Stephen Mitchell.
From Library Journal
Following the example of Thomas Jefferson's The Jefferson Bible and modern humanistic scholarship, Mitchell ( Parables and portraits , HarperCollins, 1990) here examines Jesus as a person. He retains only the passages concerning moral instruction, and therefore considers only Jesus' teachings of unconditional love and forgiveness to be authentic and essential. Mitchell draws parallels from these teachings to modern-day, ancient Hindu, Buddhist, Sufi, and Jewish traditions. His guide is recommended as a good source for studying the religious beliefs of our founding fathers.

The year before, we used a section from the book The Philosophers' Club by Christopher Phillips, and I found a story, usually not from the Bible, to introduce each query. We then split the group by age and I led the older kids in a 30-minute Socratic seminar using the guidelines in the Phillips book Socrates Cafe: A Fresh Taste of Philosophy.

• The Philosophers' Club by Christopher Phillips.
Book Description
What is silence? What is wisdom? How do you know you’re here? Socratic dialogue—for kids? At least the answer to this last question is an easy, resounding Yes! The rest you’ll have to think about and discuss with your friends, which is just what philosopher Christopher Phillips is hoping for. He has long been leading thinkers of all ages on a thoughtful and thought-filled quest for knowledge, and this picture book models for young children that mulling over some of life’s big questions can be done anytime, anywhere.
• Socrates Cafe: A Fresh Taste of Philosophy by Christopher Phillips.
Book Description
Christopher Phillips is a man on a mission: to revive the love of questions that Socrates inspired long ago in ancient Athens. "Like a Johnny Appleseed with a master's degree, Phillips has gallivanted back and forth across America, to cafés and coffee shops, senior centers, assisted-living complexes, prisons, libraries, day-care centers, elementary and high schools, and churches, forming lasting communities of inquiry" (Utne Reader). Phillips not only presents the fundamentals of philosophical thought in this "charming, Philosophy for Dummies-type guide" (USA Today); he also recalls what led him to start his itinerant program and re-creates some of the most invigorating sessions, which come to reveal sometimes surprising, often profound reflections on the meaning of love, friendship, work, growing old, and others among Life's Big Questions. "How to Start Your Own Socrates Café" guide included.

12) I don't know why, but recently, I have had a calling to re-write Biblical stories of strong women in the Bible from their point of view. So far, I have written the story of Lilith (yes, I know she isn't mentioned in the Bible except briefly, I found several references to her in Jewish folklore and found some of her story translated from the Hebrew Midrash. I am planning on doing Judith next, but can't remember where exactly her story is located in the Bible. Will someone please help me out?
Response: Here are some websites which offer a wealth of information on Judith with some specific references to passages in the Bible. The last one is a library reference list which will lead to you books on the subject as well.
I hope this helps.
http://www.specialtyinterests.net/judith.html
http://www.earlyjewishwritings.com/judith.html
Karen C.
Response: The book of Judith is in the Apocrypha. The Apocrypha is not part of the Jewish or Protestant canon of the Bible. It is part of the Catholic Bible. The LCC number is BS 1692 for the English translation.

BIBLE BOOKS FOR CHILDREN:
• Bible in Pictures for Little Eyes by Kenneth M. Taylor.
Review by Rebecca Johnson
I actually still have the version of this book my mother read to me as a child. She must have started reading it to me when I was only three years old. Quite possibly this book started me on my way to finding God. I never forgot the stories or the painting style pictures. The pictures in fact fascinated me, and I remember looking through the book on my own at an early age. The language in this book is in simple words, yet teaches great truths. This was the source of light to me as a child. Basically, this is a book of stories from the Bible in language very young children can understand. I quote: King Solomon built this new house. Do you know who he made it for? It is God's house. It took a long time to build it because it is so nice. Solomon is glad because he could make this beautiful house for God to live in. I Kings 6:11-14
1. Whose house is this? 2. Is Solomon glad?
Not only are the stories understandable, children will enjoy answering the questions, pointing to items in the pictures and even possibly reading parts of the story themselves. When I read my "adult" Bible, I sometimes wish my version was illustrated as beautifully as this book. At least the pictures are in my mind and remind me of when I first learned the beautiful stories of the Bible. There are so many lessons we can apply to our own lives today.

• The Jesus Storybook Bible: Every Story Whispers His Name by Sally Lloyd-Jones.
Review by Granola Mom "Book Lovin' Momma" (St. Petersburg, FL USA)
The Jesus Storybook Bible is a must read for everyone! It is not just for kids. I have learned something from every story I have read, and the Bible has always been a part of my life. The author takes stories from both the Old Testament and the New Testament and shows how the story of Jesus is weaved throughout the entire Bible. Her storytelling ability is so rich. She truly touches your heart with her words and causes you to want to draw closer to God. The author effectively conveys the evidence of God's redemptive love for all people and His plan to bring us back to Himself through Jesus. The illustrations are wonderful, as well. The writing and the pictures work so well together. The illustrations are so colorful and full of feeling, they truly add to the story, rather than distracting the reader. I highly recommend this book. I know that we will be reading it over and over in our home.

The Child's Story Bible by Catherine F. Vos.
Review by Gail Felker (Southfield, MA)
My husband was given this story Bible back in 1961 when he was baptised as an infant. We are still reading it to our 4 children today. It has been glued and reglued, taped, etc. to hold together this beautiful text. I was ecstatic to discover it's been recently republished. I have encouraged many parents to purchase it as it is an excellent, easy to read Bible for the whole family! Parents themselves don't often model personal devotions because so much of the Bible is difficult to understand. Read this every night and I guarantee you'll understand your own Bible much better, and have the best basic biblical overview possible! Vos doesn't water down the Bible stories - even some of the gory details - but in a respectful, careful manner she presents nearly every bible story. We LOVE this book!
