Shedding the Light

About the Book

Helen Honea has attempted to create an interest in Bible Stories not only for children of all ages but for adults as well. Her desire for children was to sew the seeds of interest that they may continue to read not only these but many other stories in the Bible. For the mature reader of these summaries her goal was to kindle memories by telling again stories which they have heard in the past. For the reader who has not been exposed to God’s word or one who has little interest. hopefully, these stories will so pique their interest that they will refer to the Bible to read each one in detail. Each story has been referenced.
