by Cor Van Rijswijk These hard cover Bible story books are wonderful. Children just learning to read can use them as little readers, either reading them on their own, reading them aloud, or reading them along with the narration on CD. Yet what every child enjoys most is being read to. Here are Bible stories written in a language which is simple and reverent. These are stories which edify both adults and children. The drawings must also be given due attention: they are simply beautiful. Real to life, they are a great contrast to the modern concept of Bible cartoon characters. There is a great need for good reading for children. Here is a good beginning. Rev. J. Visscher in Clarion: "These books are usually about 40 pages long, are well-illustrated by Rino Visser and are faithful, biblical renderings. They make for good birthday presents to four and five year olds." Abraham's Sacrifice ISBN 1-894666-21-6 (84) - US$ 10.90Gideon Blows the Trumpet ISBN 1-894666-22-4 US$ 10.90

Woven throughout is the theme that Abraham knew by implication and believed that the animal sacrifices he offered pointed to the perfect sacrifice of the Son of God. Psalm quotations from the Book of Praise illustrate this theme. The tension of Abraham's struggle to obey is made very clear. It was not only his love for Isaac, but especially the knowledge that the Lamb of God would come through his heir, that caused Abraham the agony of soul when the command came to offer His son Isaac. This Bible story is told from the redemptive-historical viewpoint redemption stands central. We gladly recommend this book for children approximately 6 to 10 years old." |

by W.G. VAN DE HULST Illustrated by J.H. Isings This book is intended to be a book for mothers. A book to be read in quiet hours, to little ones of four to seven or eight years old who sit at Mother’s knee. A book to be read slowly, yes, especially slowly; very clearly with warm, loving reverence and awe which creates in little children’s heart a pious reverence and a joy filled awe. It desires to be a BIBLE FOR THE LITTLE ONES, reaching out to all areas of a child’s understanding. A child does not comprehend everything, yet understands a great deal. This story bible wishes to tell about the holy things in plain, clear, almost simple language, which still must never profane the consecrated happenings. It is not meant to be complete. Completeness would hinder children. This book is not meant to be anything but a modest, reverent endeavour to lead the little ones into the holy sphere of Godly things. The interest of the little ones will be the test to see whether this endeavour is accomplished. May God give our little ones His wonderful blessings in the quiet hours, listening to His voice at Mother’s knee. — The Author Subject: Bible Age: 7-10 ISBN 1-894666-69-0 US$32.90 |

Many, many years ago, there was a little town called Bethlehem, in the land of Canaan. As a matter of fact, this town is still there; at the time of this story, a woman, called Naomi, lived in Bethlehem. She lived there with her husband and two sons. Naomi’s husband worked on his farm, where he sowed wheat in the spring, and cut it down as soon as it was ripe. He would then thresh the harvest and bring the wheat kernels home to Naomi to grind into flour. Naomi was a good cook, who made fine fresh bread and cakes for her husband and two boys.

Dear Little Friend, Will you try to read a page of this book every morning? I do not want it to take the place of your Bible; but I know that very often schoolboys and schoolgirls are hurried in the morning, and have not time to read their Bible till the evening. This little message will not take you long to read; and I have prayed that God may bless it to you day by day. You will see that we begin the year with the words of Jesus, and we end it with His words. We do not go straight through the Bible, but you will notice that we get our messages from every part of it. Will you try to live out your text every day? Think about it, and act upon it, and ask the Holy Spirit to remind you of it during the day. Your affectionate friend, —Amy Le Feuvre ISBN 978-1-928136-61-3 US$17.90

by Marian Schoolland "Does more than make the Bible come alive for children." —S.S. Times "The stories are told with a clarity unusual in Bibie story books." —Moody Monthly The greatest concern of every Christian parent and teacher is to lead the little ones under his care to God. A godly life and walk and prayer are essential in this task, but these alone do not answer the many questions that arise in the minds of children. Children need instruction too — early and continuous and careful instruction. They need to be taught who God is and what their relationship is to Him. For such instruction we are always dependent upon Biblical doctrine — the truth of God revealed in the Holy Scriptures. But how can doctrine, which even adults often find difficult, be taught to little ones? To help us in this task Marian Schoolland has written Leading Little Ones to God. One of the finest authors of good books for children, she has a style that children enjoy and understand. Christian parents and teachers will feel greatly indebted to her for this wonderful and rewarding book. And whether it is read to very young children, or given to children of reading age, it will be a treasure that lasts a lifetime. Subject: Bible Age: 6-14 ISBN 978-1-77298-007-3 US$20.90

by Piet Prins Struggle for Freedom Series 4 General Valdez had mercilessly surrounded Leiden with his Spanish troops. Rather than attacking the city, he let a different weapon do the work. This weapon was hunger. Hardly anyone could get into the city or out of it, and the hunger, together with the black death wreaked death and sickness among the citizens. Elisabeth Govaerts was having trouble keeping her father and brother as well as their lodger Boudewyn fed and in good shape. It was therefore a feast when Martin Meulenberg managed to creep through the Spanish fortifications and bring Elisabeth food. But the time was short since Martin wanted to join the Sea Beggars again. He left the city with reports of starving people. Even so, the Prince of Orange was doing his best to free Leiden. But even after the dykes had been breached by the Sea Beggars the water would not rise, and thus the Sea Beggars could not sail into Leiden to liberate it. Help seemed impossible.

 THREE MONTHS UNDER THE SNOW by J.J. PORCHAT This morning when I awoke, I found myself in complete darkness, and at first supposed that my sleep had quitted me at an earlier hour than usual. However, I heard my grandfather feeling his way about, and I rubbed my eyes, but did not see a bit better.“Grandfather,” said I, “you are up before daylight.”“My dear boy,” he answered, “ if we were to wait for the light of day, we should remain long enough in bed. I fear the snow is above the window.”At this I uttered a cry of horror and leaped out of bed. I soon lighted our lamp, and we were then able to perceive that my grandfather’s conjecture was well-founded.“But the window is low,” he added, “besides, it may be that the snow has been heaped up in this part; perhaps we should not see it above two feet deep at some paces from the wall.” Time 19th Century Age: 9-99 9781894666190 - US$ 12.90

It was hunger that drove 12-year-old Boris and his friend, Nadia, to forage for potatoes in the forbidden No-man’s-land that lay between the Russian and German lines outside the besieged city of Leningrad. But the long walk in the bitter cold, through miles of ice and snow, was too difficult for Nadia. As she lay on the ice, collapsed from exhaustion, Boris was at his wits’ end. When German patrol rescued the children and delivered them safely to the Russian lines, Boris learned that the hated enemy were not monsters — just ordinary men like any others — and that in war, everyone is the victim. Set in Leningrad during the dreadful 500 days in 1942-43 when it lay under siege by the German army, Boris is the story of a courageous boy who faces the bitter life-and-death realities of war and human survival, and, with a growing sense of compassion for all mankind, looks hopefully toward the future when all men can lay down their arms and embrace one another as brothers. "A beautifully realized parable of war, death, kindness, and endurance . . . enormously effective." —School Library Journal Jaap ter Haar was a Dutch historian who served in the World War II underground. Both his histories and his children’s books have been translated into many languages and have received literary awards. Boris was chosen as Book of the Year in Holland and also won the Youth Award of the City of Rotterdam. Time: 1942-1943 Age: 10-99 ISBN 978-0-921100-72-8 US$10.90 |

(Place order for set of 5 and save 15%) SET OF 5 SHADOW SERIES - REG. 64.75 - PRINS, PIET - set of new copies US$ 50.55 One of the most exciting series of a master story teller about the German occupation of The Netherlands during the emotional time of the Second World War (1940-1945).K. Bruning in Una Sancta about Vol.4 - The Partisans, and Vol. 5 - Sabotage: . . . the country was occupied by the German military forces. The nation's freedom was destroyed by the foreign men in power. Violence, persecutions and executions were the order of the day, and the main target of the enemy was the destruction of the christian way of life. In that time the resistance movement of underground fighters became very active. People from all ages and levels joined in and tried to defend the Dutch Christian heritage as much as possible. The above mentioned books show us how older and younger people were involved in that dangerous struggle. It often was a life and death battle. Every page of these books is full of tension. The stories give an accurate and very vivid impression of that difficult and painful time. These books should also be in the hands of our young people. They are excellent instruments to understand the history of their own country and to learn the practical value of their own confession and Reformed way of life. What about as presents on birthdays?

". . . was sorting through old pictures today and
found this one. It was taken eleven years ago . . . on my
son’s birthday party. See all those party boys
listening to a beautifully told Bible story by Anne
DeVries! We have read these books over and over and they
are now falling apart. I would love to buy a big stack to
equip my grown up children (we have nine — all busy
growing) [with] these two bible story books so they can
read them to their children. They are written precisely
to Scripture, by a man who clearly understood God’s
redemption plan and portrays it in a faith-building way.
I have bought and read other Bible stories but none so
able to build a child’s faith. My Mom read these
books to me and my siblings in Dutch and how I loved
them. So I am pleading with you to republish them."
