Murray Watts is one of the UK's foremost retellers of the Bible. He combines expert Bible knowledge with skilful storytelling to create a compelling text that speaks to children of today.

This comprehensive, faithful yet imaginative retelling of the Bible reflects the variety of the original writings (e.g. reportage, poetry, history, letters) making a very readable collection - now a classic on the
Lion Children's list.

"Murray Watts has written a modern classic. With simple words in fine phrases he paints the stories as vividly as Helen Cann illustrates them. Murray Watts projects onto the screen of a child's imagination indelible pictures of the greatest story ever told." - Rt Rev James Jones, Bishop of Liverpool.
