It will be helpful to the mother who is constantly appealed to by her
children for special kinds of stories to know where to find them in
THE BIBLE STORY.
_Stories about Other Children_
Children are fond of listening to stories about other children like
themselves. THE BIBLE STORY contains many such.
Jesus and the Little Girl. 110 G.B.
The Baby Hid in a Basket. 117 G.B.
The Boy Who Came when He was Called. 132 G.B.
The Boy Who was Raised from the Dead. 193 G.B.
The Little Captive Maid. 205 G.B.

_Hero Stories_
The favorites of all children beyond the first year or two of school
are the stories of great heroes. A large part of "The Golden Book" is
given up to stories of Bible heroes, and the following volume is made
up of the lives of these same heroes in the words of the Bible text
and is consequently more difficult. The beauty of this arrangement is
that after reading the easy story in "The Golden Book" a child will
want to read more, and as soon as he is able will enjoy going further
with his great heroes in the volumes that contain the Bible text. He
will understand seemingly difficult passages in the succeeding volumes
of the set because of the substantial background formed by the simple
treatments in "The Golden Book." The list of simple hero stories is
here given together with the corresponding stories in the Bible text
in other volumes.
The Shepherd Boy Who Killed a Giant. 139 G.B.
David and Goliath. 386 H.T.
David and King Saul. 151 G.B.
David an Outlaw. 406 H.T.
David and Jonathan. 156 G.B.
The Jealousy of Saul. 396 H.T.
David and His Three Brave Soldiers. 163 G.B.
A Knightly Deed. 438 H.T.
David and His Son Absalom. 167 G.B.
The Rebellion of Absalom. 443 H.T.
The Story of a Good King. 170 G.B.
Solomon's Temple. 461 H.T.
Joseph and His Brethren. 177 G.B.
Joseph. 91 H.T.
In the same way you may read the Bedtime Stories, beginning on page
245 of "The Golden Book," and then go naturally to the same stories in
the Bible text itself as told in the volume "The Life of Jesus."
The Story of the First Christmas. 245 G.B.
Nativity. 37 L.J.
The Story of Palm Sunday. 251 G.B.
The Entry into Jerusalem. 233 L.J.
How Jesus Gave His Life for the World. 257 G.B.
