Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Bible Stories Revisited
Macrina Scott · 1999
68/100
👎 Skip It
Sister Macrina Scott brings real biblical scholarship to Old Testament stories that many adults only know from childhood memory, and her invitation to find your own story within the text is a thoughtful adult education approach. The main caveat is the Children's pillar label — this is unmistakably an adult Catholic study guide, and anyone coming to it expecting a children's resource will be confused.
