00.4-FOREWORD

FOREWORD
My Dear Boys and Girls:

There is an old saying that "All the world loves a story." The Bible is the greatest story book ever written for in it may be found stories to suit all tastes.

There are delightful stories of the palace, the king’s court, the tent and the great out-of-doors. Many thrilling stories of war and fearless warriors may be found and also those of great building formations and agricultural plans. If one chooses romance, no more beautiful love stories are to be found in literature than in this book which came from the hands of the Almighty GOD.

In writing these stories I have tried to show you how these men and women of the bible were real folk who lived in real places, had temptations and difficulties such as we have and more than all of how, when they were willing to let Him, GOD used them to carry out His great plans and purposes for this world.

As we read about these characters of olden times let us turn away from their faults, follow their good behaviour and receive wisdom to do large things in GOD’s name.

Lovingly,

AUNT HATTIE

And let us pray that these stories, perhaps written for a small audience in pre-war America, might find themselves into the homes of children the world-wide -- for truly with the internet, there is no limit to where these stories might go.
