Product Description

"Words of Wisdom" series presents stories from the Old and New Testaments at a level that children can read for themselves. It contains bright and attractive pictures to help bring out the teaching of the Scriptures. The aim of the series is to make the Bible come alive to children so that they will become more interested in its message. Then they can see how valuable it is for their own lives.

"Words of Wisdom" series provides background information for each story for parents to read. There are also questions to think about, in the hope that the message of the stories will be remembered. At the back of each booklet is the Bible text for each story taken from the Good News Bible. These story books may be used as teaching materials in Sunday Schools as well as at home. They may also be used to share with friends who do not yet know about God's Good News.


Bible records the events of a number of prophets. They performed many miracles and wonders by the power of God. Elisha was one of them.

Once, the General of the Syrian Army, Naaman, suffered from a skin disease which was very hard to cure. He went to see prophet Elisha. Elisha sent a servant out to tell him to go and wash himself in the River Jordan. But Naaman left in a rage because he thought that the prophet should have come out to pray for him. Later, he humbled himself, obeyed Elisha's instruction, and was completely cured.

Having experienced the miraculous healing, General Naaman believed God. God loves everyone in the world; if we believe in Him and obey what He said, we can also be saved.
