Charming tales

Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2012

Verified Purchase

This is a collection of charming, theologically sound stories using familiar Genesis texts. Suitable for children and adults, with each brief tale incorporating a number of life-lessons. I use these in sermons, as introductions for worship, as invitations to membership and volunteering. The illustrations are delightful. Rabbi Gellman knows how to catch our attention, how to keep us engaged. He gives us reasons to think about the story later, and to apply it to our own experiences. This is my second copy--it resides happily on the shelf with the Bibles, the hymnals, and the commentaries. If I could only have one book of stories for children in my office, this would be it.

Opening up the stories of the bible

Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2012

I have loved this book for many years. It is timeless, opening for children a beautiful way to engage the stories playfully AND meaningfully. I recommend this book all the time! It deepens understanding, and brings the characters to life; no longer are they dry, dusty figures from long ago, but people, real and complex. And God is wise and loving...and sometimes funny in understanding humans!

Hello meaningful narratives!

Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2014

Verified Purchase

As someone who enjoys hearing and retelling a great story, this collection of Old Testament stories is a timeless treasure. We all know the story lines but very few have had the opportunity to examine the underlying significance of each story and be exposed to the author's brilliant wit. The author reminds us of the importance of posing valuable questions without always being able to provide answers.

I love this book and have purchased it several times in the past as gifts. This time I purchased it for myself, and while the quality is near perfect, my sole concern is that the copy I received is an old library book. All the library sorting tags and stamps are in place.

My minister told me about this book. My grand kids ( 5,8,11) love the stories. They keep the kids attention. Each story is no more than 3 pages. The stories tell the stories of the Bible in an amusing way. The children remember them long after they have heard them.

This is an excellent book. Some of the stories are funny and many are sad, but all are instructional. My daughters both adored this book, especially the story "Adam Names the Animals."
