Book Description

8 July 2010

A beautiful book of illustrated Bible stories, retold by the world’s best-loved cleric.

Nobel prizewinner, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, re-tells over fifty of his favourite Bible stories for an audience of young readers.

From classics such as the stories of Noah and the calming of the storm, to less-known stories such as Naboth’s Vineyard or Ruth, the Archbishop makes these time-honoured stories come to life in his own inimitable voice.

The book has a truly international flavour, with illustrators from around the world contributing their interpretations of the stories. The result is a glorious, and great value, package that will inspire a generation of children – and their carers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful and thoughtful - a wonderful gift! 27 April 2012
Format:Hardcover
This book is truly beautiful. Though you buy it for a child, you will probably want it for yourself!

I love the simplicity of the stories, both in the telling of them and in their illustration. I also like the short prayer which appears after every story and which draws a simple message from that story.

Another great feature of this book is the variety of artistic styles as well as the diversity of ethnicities depicted in the illustrations; this reflects the wide range of cultural backgrounds of the illustrators.

I don't think you'll need to look much further than here for a great child's Bible storybook!

4.0 out of 5 stars Tales from Tutu 27 Sep 2010
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Both the book and CD bring new life into these well known Bible stories. Listening to Desmond Tutu read them is like having a well-loved grandfather read them afresh. Thoroughly recommended to introduce a new generation of children to these Bible stories and also to bring new life into them for older readers/listeners.
Great for loading on to an iPod to listen on the move.
