Bible Stories for Boys contains eight Bible stories chosen especially to captivate boys. Each story features courageous men and deeds retold in a contemporary voice that is easy to relate to. The stories are prefaced with a short introduction encouraging the reader to think about the message contained in each; a section at the back of the book sets the stories in context and shows where to find them in the Bible.
