Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
A Child's Ramble Through the Bible
Robert Crawford Falconer · 1922
48/100
👎 Skip It
This is a genuine piece of history — a 1922 Christian walk through the Old Testament for children, written by a working minister. It's faith-affirming through and through, but the language and teaching style are a century old, and I found zero modern reader reception to know how it actually lands with today's kids.
