Famous People of the Bible
Small Colorful Bible Books

A series for children ages 2-5 that tells the story of some of the best-known people from the Bible. With simple words and colorful illustrations, these card board books show the youngest children why these timeless biblical characters are indeed famous.

Martha And Her Sister Mary is a small sized board book your children can hold in their hands. The small pocket sized book is great for entertaining and teaching your child about their favorite Bible characters, especially when away from home. Keep one in your purse, your glove compartment, at grandmothers and at the baby sitter. 

Martha made her house very nice for Jesus to visit. But she never had time to sit and listen to Jesus like her sister Mary did. Jesus told her that it is better to sit and listen than to do a lot of busy work.
