Do you remember
the Arch Books Bible stories from the 1960’s? They have been reprinted in the
original version and gathered in a nice collection for us to enjoy! This
collection consists of twelve Christmas Bible stories. The colorful
illustrations and easy to read format are very enjoyable for kids of all ages.
Each story has a letter to the parents to help you and your children to become
more engaged in the story. This would be a great book to enjoy during the month
of December as a read-aloud. I will be adding this to my Christmas bookshelf! ~

Publisher's Description of Arch Books Treasury: Christmas Collection
Celebrate
the wonder of Christ's birth with these timeless stories from your
childhood. Featuring twelve classic Christmas stories, this Arch Book
treasury will be loved for generations to come. Take young readers
though various retellings of the Christmas story from different people's
perspectives, from Mary to the camel that brought the Wise Men.
I remember these fantastic books from when I was a kid. Aimed at the younger crowd, each book presents a complete Bible story in the form of a rhyming poem. Each page contains a stanza of the poem and colorful illustrations. A letter from the editor tells where the story is found in the Bible and how we can apply the story to our lives today. ~ Rachel S.
