With 365 undated stories (plus a bonus story for a leap year!), this book is designed for dipping in and out of: read one a day or all at once.

Carine’s talent for storytelling lets us meet Jesus authentically through the words of scripture. Without illustrations of Jesus to distract or lead astray, human impressions of Jesus are set aside so that God’s revelation takes centre stage.

God is powerful. He made the whole world just be speaking! God is loving. He cares for the people, the plants and animals which he made.


God has a plan - to care for, and renew, his creation. Then the wolf and the lamb will be friends; the lions will be as tame as the horse and cows.

Little Hands Learning to Pray

by Carine MacKenzie

Published 20 September 2010

Children love to learn to talk, they love new words, they love the contact and friendships that result from chatting with family, neighbours and friends. They are not afraid to ask for anything. When something is wrong they tell you about it - loudly. Reading these stories will show you and the child you read to how people in the Bible spoke with God. We too can have a friendship with him through prayer. Each story includes Scripture references, a question that focuses on the story, something to spot in the pictures and an idea to stay with you through the day.

Long, Long Long ago in Jerusalem, there lived a man who healed the sick, made the lame walk and gave the blind back their sight. He also forgave people for their sins - because he was more than a man - he was God.Jesus Christ came to people of Jerusalem and loved them. Yet, the people of Jerusalem became his enemies. They whipped him, made fun of him, falsely convicted them and then nailed him to a cross to die...
BUT...
Jesus death was not the end of the story - it was all a part of God's plan... his plan to rescue his people and save them from the sin that would stop them entering heaven. Wait in anticpation as the story of the crucifixion unfolds.
Watch in amazement as the woman discover that Jesus is alive! Wonder at the miracle they have all witnessed. Wonder at the miracle of Jesus! You can read about the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ in the Bible. You will find it in Luke chapters 22-24.



Bible Stories for Bedtime

by Carine MacKenzie

Published 1 January 1970

This book of stories is suitable to read to children under seven, although older children may enjoy reading them independently. There are seventeen Old Testament stories altogether, each on a double page spread, and all beautifully illustrated by Fred Apps. There is a child-friendly and appropriate prayer to conclude each story. The last three pages talk about the stories and how they are relevant to children's lives today. I was very impressed with the presentation and style of this book and would make it a 'must have' in the huge variety of storybooks available.
