Summary Of Stories of Heaven and Earth

A resource for parents, librarians, teachers, and clergy. This book offers a critical examination of children?s picture books based on stories from the Old Testament, as well as an analysis of these stories as powerful tales of emotional development. Focusing on well-known biblical characters such as Adam and Eve, Noah, Moses, Joseph, David, Jonah and Esther, the authors make a cogent argument for why these stories matter. Emphasis is placed on the power of these stories as a source of literature rich in universal archetypes, ethical dilemmas, decision-making, rites-of-passage, and emotional growth. Drawing on connections to familiar fairy tales, folklore and mythology, the authors show how Bible Stories offer children models of the journey from childhood into adulthood, from dependence to independence. Stories of Heaven and Earth shows how bible stories allow children to become the heroes of their own lives as they make the difficult but essential transition from childhood to adolescence and into adulthood.
