A retelling of all the major events of the Old Testament, matched by action pictures. From the creation of the world to the fortunes and troubles of the Jewish people, the great kings, judges and prophets, the stories unfold in historical sequence. Information panels with photographs and historical illustrations add facts about everyday life and highlight learning points from each story to give a complete picture of the people, places and events of the Bible. Opening up with Noah's Ark, the book begins with the story of the Creation of the World, and traces the roots of Christianity and Judaism. The stories describes how Moses led the great nation in Egypt to the Promised Land, and charts the lives of Israel's greatest earthly kings, Saul, David and Solomon. Jonah and the whale retells the stories of the troubled years after Solomon's kingdom was divided and how the Israelites eventually managed to struggle through the difficult years of the exile, to pull together as one nation before God.
