Books with author Mother Melania (Salem)

"The princess took him as her own,And now as Moses he was knownFor from the Nile the princess drewThe child-whose life began anew."The Old Testament Stories for Children series begins with the life of Moses because the Passover (Pascha) of Moses and the Israelites at the Red Sea is the focal point of the Old Covenant and a key scripture associated with Christ's Pascha. The series will continue with several Moses stories and include others that are also associated with Christ's Pascha: Jonah and the fish, the Three Youths in the furnace, Elijah raising the widow's son. Using simple verse and colorful, semi-iconographic illustrations that are both sweet and reverent, the series aims to introduce children and their parents to the profound truths revealed in the pages of the Old Testament. Our hope is that the readers will develop a thirst to meet Christ in the Scriptures that so richly reveal Him.
