Nahum and the Ninevites cover

The book of Nahum in illustrated storybook form for 4–6 year–olds


God is good, a strong refuge in times of trouble; He cares for those who trust in Him. But He will sweep away His enemies like a mighty flood and drive them into darkness. In the book of Nahum, God promises to punish the Assyrians, who had been oppressing Israel. Their capital, Nineveh, was full of murder and lies, so God destroys it.

 

Nahum’s name means comfort. God’s people can find comfort in his prophecy, which shows how God will defeat all our enemies. He even sent His Son, Jesus, to defeat sin, death and the devil. Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.

 

Nahum is a minor prophet, but his book teaches major lessons. Brian Wright and John Brown show how we can learn about the power and mercy of God in this illustrated rendering of the prophecy of Nahum for 4–6 year–olds.

With bright illustrations and lots of animal pictures, God’s Daring Dozen provides a fun and helpful way to increase biblical literacy and open some less familiar parts of Scripture to young listeners.

Brian’s and John’s presentation of these undervalued books captures their messages in ways that young readers can grasp and very smoothly weaves them into the larger fabric of the Gospel. An excellent tool for helping children grasp and retain the Gospel as promised in these Old Testament books.

-- Daniel C. Timmer (Director and Professor of Biblical Studies, Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary, Grand Rapids, Michigan and author of Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Tyndale Old Testament Commentary 26)

What a great resource for families! Kids’ books on individual books of the Bible. True to Scripture and accessible to little ones. I can’t wait to read these to my own children.

-- Andrew Abernathy (Professor of Old Testament, Wheaton College, Wheaton, Illinois and author of ‘God’s Messiah in the Old Testament’)

John and Brian have captured the message of these books and packaged them in a form ideal for parents who hope to train their children up in the faith.
