Bible Heroes and Bad Guys/ Rick Osborn, Marnie Wooding, Ed Strauss Call #: 220.92 OSB

Written in comic book style, this book details the accomplishments of some of the most important figures in the Bible--both good and bad. In addition, it draws lessons from these lives so that young readers (particularly boys) can see the application in their own lives.

God's Early Heroes/ Roger Adcock, Elsiebeth McDaniel; Ill. by Gordon King

This book retells and illustrates the stories of some of the Old Testament heroes of the Bible. Written in an engaging style and simpler language, this book is perfect for bringing to life the "dusty" figures of long ago.

Children's Book of the Bible

Broken into sections such as "Everyday Life" and "Crime and Punishment," this volume brings together stories from throughout the Bible to clearly illustrate life in Bible times and answer all kinds of questions that kids may ask.

David's Psalms: His Songs and Their Stories/Colin Eisler and Jerry Pinkney

A perfect introduction both to the life of David and to the Psalms, this book explains a little bit about how the Psalms came to be and who David was. Selected Psalms are reprinted or excerpted, with a brief commentary on each one. Though by no means a definitive walk through the book of Psalms, this book gives enough background and details to make the songs of David (and others) more accessible to young people.

The Picture Bible/Iva Hoth (ill. Andre Le Blanc)

Part comic book, part Bible story, and entirely absorbing, the Picture Bible illustrates the stories of the Bible in eye-catching color.
