Child's Story of the Bible is a bible studies classic for children by Mary A. Lathbury. That no busy mother may say, "I cannot take time to gather from the Bible the simple lessons that my children need," this book of bible stories--together making one--has been written. I have tried to preserve the pure outlines of the sacred record from the vivid description and the suggestive supposition that are sometimes introduced to add charm to the story.

Optimized for the Kindle By Allan's Classics This Allan Classics eBook is complete with Original Illustrations, Inter-Active Table of Contents, and Logical TOC (NCX) Navigation Paths. “Child's Story of the Bible by Mary A. Lathbury�, first published in 1898, is a classic among Bible stories for very good reasons. Not only is the text easy and interesting for both adults and children, but the more than 70 illustrations, some in full color, are absolutely glorious. The full-color illustrations are beautiful, and similar to what might be seen in today's children's books, but the photo-engravings depicting various scenes from the Bible are particularly remarkable, and must be considered true works of art. Because the originals are so sharp and clear, they display beautifully on the Kindle, and are outstanding on a color display such as Kindle for PC. All 70-plus illustrations are listed in the “Inter-Active� Table of Contents in this Allan Classics edition, and can be viewed with a simple touch of a button. The navigation features described below give you the ability to quickly find what you want without having to go through, page by page, as is the usual case with eBooks. The Inter-Active Table of Contents allows you to choose any Chapter, Illustration, or other Major Topic and move quickly back and forth among them by simply clicking the title in the Table of Contents. The Logical TOC (NCX) adds even faster navigation aids. You don't' have to go back to the Table of Contents to select a new topic, but can skip back and forth between topics with a simple press of the Kindle 5-way toggle. To quickly find the Table of Contents, you can jump from any point in this eBook, using the Menu button at the lower right on the Kindle device. Click the Menu button (small “rocker� button at the lower right on the physical Kindle device), then choose “Go to� from the menu that appears on the Kindle display. A new screen appears, displaying “Cover�, “Table of contents�, “Beginning�, and, “Location� at the bottom edge of the screen. Using the Kindle 5-way toggle to move the Kindle cursor (highlight), select any of those items to jump to it. (These items don't exist in many eBooks). This book has two (identical) copies of the Table of Contents… one near the front of the book, for easy browsing, and one at the back of the book, The “Go to� Menu feature jumps you to the TOC at back of the book, but if you prefer to browse from the front of the book, simply click one of the first items on the TOC list. With an NCX enabled book such as this, when reading on the Kindle reading device, you can see where you are in the book by glancing at the bar at the bottom of the display. In addition, with an NCX enabled book, the Kindle's 5-way toggle (located on the Menu button at the lower right corner of the Kindle) allows you to jump ahead or back, chapter by chapter.. illustration by illustration, or topic by topic, simply by pressing the 5-way toggle to the right or left.

I have been asked to prepare this little aid for your use in the Home—that first and greatest of schools. The school was founded by the Maker of men, and He called mothers to be its earliest and most important teachers. He prepared a text-book for it which we call His Word, illustrating it richly and fully from life and Nature, and filling it with His Spirit. Wherever it is known, as the children become the members of the Church, the citizens of the State, the people of the World, the Book goes with them, forming the Church, the State, the World. It is not only equal to the need, but contains infinite riches that wait to be unveiled.That no busy mother may say, "I cannot take time to gather from the Bible the simple lessons that my children need," this book of little stories—together making one—has been written. I have tried to preserve the pure outlines of the sacred record from the vivid description and the suggestive supposition that are sometimes introduced to add charm to the story, and in all quoted speech I have used the exact words of the authorized version of the Scriptures, so that the earliest impression made upon the memory of the child might be one that should remain.The stories are not a substitute for the Word—only little approaches to it through which young feet may be guided by her who holds a place next to the great Teacher in His work with little children.
