In the tradition of Grimm's fairytales, Peter Leithart has produced a wonderful collection of whimsical, yet meaningful, bedtime stories.
The characters in each story are as varied as the biblical proverbs they reveal.
Meet a servant with an important mission and magic shoes, or find out what happens when Ivy bumps into a talking rabbit in the forest.
Sure to delight children ages five and up (but no promises they'll be asleep by the time the story's over).
FROM THE PREFACE: My intention in Wise Words was to write stories that would appeal to children as stories; that would challenge parents who read to their children; that would illustrate biblical proverbs; and that would borrow imagery, plots, characters, settings, and themes from the Bible.
Whether my stories appeal to children--other than my own, of course, who are deeply prejudiced--or challenge adults is, I suppose, for children and adults to judge.
