The Bible Story - Volume IV - Introduction - Herbert W Armstrong - 1964

Herbert W Armstrong

In response to overwhelming demand, Volume IV of The Bible Story is published. We are thrilled, and overjoyed, because of the enthusiastic acceptance of Volumes I, II and III. Those who have read the first three volumes know that there has never been a Bible story book like this. There have, of course, been many Bible story books — too many, of a kind. But candidly they seemed, to me, to have no mission, except to entertain children. They seemed to try to compete with the exciting fiction of violence of which youngsters see entirely too much on television — or read in cheap novels or comic books. These children's Bible story books were a series of disconnected blood-and-thunder stories drawn from certain Biblical incidents. There was no connection between one and another, or with the Gospel. They were shorn of their real meaning. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
