Customer Reviews

poetry with a history

This is a very cute "Shel Silverstein" type selection of poems based on Old Testament stories. They are fun as bedtime stories or great intros for Sunday School/Hebrew Scripture Synagogue lessons.

Christmas shopping done!

I know what I'll be putting under the tree for my niece and nephew this year. Thanks to Marty Nystrom (As the Deer) for this wonderful book! Parents should read this to their children along with "The Beginner's Bible." The stories come alive in exciting ways with poems like "The Invasion of the Swamp Creatures" (the plague of frogs in Egypt) and "Grandpa is Not a Gorilla." This book is so much fun, I will be putting it under the tree for some grownups, too.

Learning with Laughter

I loved it! I'm still smiling. Kids and their parents will be thoroughly entertained while learning invaluable lessons from this beautifuly illustrated book.

Don't Mess with Moses tickles my ribs!

I absolutely loved this book. I found the poems to be fun to read and the illustrations delightful. When I read it to my niece she asked me to keep reading more pages. This is a book for young and old alike. The Scripture references along with the poems make it easy to teach the stories. I plan to use it in an adult Bible study too. Now all my Christmas and Birthday gift lists are check off. They'll all get "Don't Mess with Moses". It will be a treasured book for years to come. Well Done! I can't wait for the next version.

A must-have for every home

Get ready to look at the Old Testament with a new, fresh eye. You'll meet Samson, lifting city gates, and Noah the ark-itect, and the Why?ners that left Egypt with Moses. You'll laugh, you'll giggle, you'll be amazed, and then you'll have to turn to the Bible to find out what happened next. I can see this as a must-have in every God-believing home.
