Eric Klein's Newly Released "Easy-to-Read Bible Stories" is an Inviting Retelling of Old Testament Stories for Children and Adults of All Ages
"Easy-to-Read Bible Stories" from Christian Faith Publishing author Eric Klein is a vivid collection of stories from the Old Testament book of Genesis, retold in conversational language, from the heart and from memory, as inspired by the author's eight-year-old niece, whose persistent requests for Bible stories and protests against her uncle's "word-for-word" storytelling sparked in the author, and now in the reader, a newfound understanding and respect for the treasures of these timeless biblical stories.
MEADVILLE, Pa., July 19, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- "Easy-to-Read Bible Stories": a playful recasting of biblical stories in a fun and fresher light. "Easy-to-Read Bible Stories" is the creation of published author Eric Klein, a native of Brooklyn, New York, and survivor of child abuse who finally found God not in the churches but through a Christian friend in college.
Klein retells the story of creation, "So you want to know how we got here and where did all this cool stuff come from? And how long did it really take to make it all?
Well, let's find out!
A super long time ago, the earth had nothing on it.
It did not have trees, lakes, people, or animals yet. There was no such thing as pizza or Saturday morning cartoons or even video games.
Nope, there wasn't even a sun, moon, or stars anywhere.
God hadn't thought of any of it yet. Just think, if God had not thought of making some of the big stuff like the sun, we would not be able to go to the beach and go swimming.
However, we have to talk about some other stuff before we can think about swimming, okay?
You see, in the beginning of time, God looked down at the earth and had this really cool plan. He saw this giant planet with a whole bunch of water on it and said, 'Let there be light!'
And you know what? Just like that, there was light (kind of like turning on your light switch in your bedroom)."
Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Eric Klein's new book is an engaging take on the old stories, which can sometimes be a challenge, retaining their essence and characters with a fresh narrative voice to bring these timeless lessons to life.
Klein's kid-approved, relatable version of every story in Genesis speaks to children—and even adults—of the true wonder of the Bible, too often lost in the old language of the day.
