Story Treasures 2: Christian Stories to Teach and Inspire
ISBN: TREASURE2Why another volume of Christian stories for youthful readers? Does not King Solomon tell us that 'of making books there is not end"?
Stories are not just to amuse and enthuse. Throughout the ages and centuries, stories have been a successful educational tool in shaping the beliefs of the rising generation. Good stories well-told or well-written convey messages that illustrate the wonderful ways of God with His Church and present a biblical perspective on important issues. Furthermore, good stories not only inform the head but also the heart.
During his many years of teaching, Mr. Stoutjesdyk effectively used the story form to illustrate Biblical concepts and topics raised in other subjects. Many former students fondly remember the engaging and instructive stories he wove into his teaching. While a story written is different from a story told, parents and teachers will appreciate this volume written from the scriptural-experiential perspective.
Most stories in this book are retellings of other authors. They are retold in today's English in a format appealing to young people. Several of the stories are Mr. Stoutjesdyk's own work.
Author: Mr. Stoutjesdyk was the founding principal of Mount Cheam Christian School in Chilliwack and served the school from 1980-2010. Since 2010, he has been the general secretary of the Trinitarian Bible society (Canada). He and his wife Annette live at the foot of Mount Cheam, the most prominent peak in the eastern Fraser Valley of British Columbia.
