The Good Book Stall

Bob Hartman knows how to tell a story to catch young people’s attention. In these Storyteller books, he gives tips at the end, for others to learn from his experience. These would work in a family but even better with a larger audience. I have seen Bob get a banqueting hall full of Booksellers joining in actions as he told a story, not an easy thing to do, but it was fun. The point of this particular selection of stories, is to help children relate the triumph of Palm Sunday, to what happens later in the week, to the Crucifixion and on to the Resurrection and Jesus’ subsequent appearances to his friends.
