Very First Christians, The
In the follow-up to The Very First Christmas and The Very First Easter, 12-year-old Christopher entreats his grandfather to tell him about the first Christians. Using the book of Acts as a foundation, Christopher’s grandfather helps him visualize the significance of that historical time.Christopher learns about Peter, Paul, and Stephen. He discovers the important contributions each made to the Church. And he finds that these real stories are better than anything a storyteller could imagine.
The award-winning team of Paul L. Maier and Francisco Ordaz work together again to bring children a vivid picture of the first days of Christianity. The Very First Christians makes a wonderful gift for children, families, and friends.
Into the Lion’s Den (Black Cats)
‘Dear Uncle Paul – Today I’m going to be eaten by a lion. They tell me it will be quick…’ Agnes and her fellow Christians sit in their cell, waiting to be thrown to the lions. Cass, the young trainee lion-keeper, is in charge today. Little does he know what a complicated day it’s going to be! Terry says: ‘Into the Lion’s Den is a chance for me to keep my history fans happy and, at the same time, keep myself happy by writing it in story form. The background to the story, Christians eaten by lions in the Colosseum, was very carefully researched and some of the characters are based on real people. Hopefully readers will get the best of both worlds – fascinating facts and a terrific tale.
