The New Testament : Bible Poems for Children (Paperback)

Once upon a time, in place called Nazareth town - Not a place of any particular renown - A young girl called Mary lived with her father and mother. She was engaged to Joseph, and they loved one another. Joseph was a carpenter who was good and kind, He was one of the gentlest men you ever could find. Mary was a good and obedient daughter, And listened carefully to the things her mother taught her. Beginning with the birth of Jesus Christ and chronicling the events that defined his life, this collection of poems retells the major stories of the New Testament. The miracles that Jesus performed, the parables he told, his encounter with Zacchaeus the taxman, and even his feeding of the five thousand using just a few loaves and fish are recounted in a fun and vibrant way that will appeal to children and adults alike! Following from her first collection, The Old Testament: Bible Poems for Children, the poems in this second volume enable children to learn about God, how they can show their love for God and how they may spread the teachings of God among their peers, both now and in the future.
