Books with title The Old Testament

Excerpt from Old Testament HeroesPrehension of children, which no language can make intelligible. But much of the zest of the game of reading comes from the effort to use the tools of grown-ups. Children do not wish to descend to baby talk but to learn the language of men. And, therefore, there is no baby-talk in this book. Nor is there any lecturing or moralizing. There are only stories, stories that have been told more often than any others in our part of the world, - and for a very good reason. As the source of these stories is the Bible, the sacred book of Jews and Christians, it has always been a problem what details to include or omit. But why tell stories except in so far as they are interesting? Ought not that to be the main test? Each story should stand on its own feet and hold the attention of the reader by virtue of its own dramatic power. We are confident the stories in this book will do so.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
