A new book!

June 17, 2021 by Amy Welborn

Copies arrived in the mail yesterday – the Great Adventure Kids Catholic Bible Chronicles.

Based on the Great Adventure Bible Timeline, it takes most of the narratives highlighted in that program and retells them in a way appropriate for children. That means the structure was established before I entered the chat – the outline was provided for me, and so last summer and early fall I wrote the stories. It’s a very nice book – check out the video!

And here are a few sample pages – more on Ascension’s website.

Update:

Someone on Facebook asked the very good question of – what’s the difference between this book and the Loyola Kids Book of Bible Stories? Do they complement each other?

Yes!

As I wrote above, this new book is based on the “Great Adventure” Biblical timeline, and takes that approach – reading this book from beginning to end will immerse you in a continuous narrative of salvation history. I wrote it very consciously on that score, constantly making connections between stories.

The Loyola Kids Book of Bible Stories was structured and written by me as a way of introducing readers to the Scriptures through the eyes of the Church, if you will – by placing stories by way of when a Catholic would generally hear them in the context of Sunday Mass. It’s through the Mass that most Catholics ordinarily encounter the Bible and occurrence of these stories in the liturgical context isn’t random. It developed over the centuries and I think it’s important, not only that Catholic children know the Bible, but know the Bible as the Church has understood it and incorporated it into liturgical life.

I think both can be used effectively, and in different ways.

  • Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time..... "Thousands and thousands of people upon the stage of life are adjusting themselves to their roles in this drama — this drama which is real life.  Old men are there and old women, youths and maidens, and even little children.  From all parts of the world they come and from all walks of life — kings and queens, merchants and laborers, teachers and students, bankers and beggars, religious of all orders, cardinals, bishops and parish priests, and leading them all the Vicar of Christ on earth.  All are quietly taking their places, for all are actors in the sublime mystery drama of our redemption. More: "The Churches ceremony of Baptism is so elaborate! I keep trying to think of some way in fiction that I could convey the richness against the threadbareness of the other but my thought is none to productive. The Church takes care of everything and I am always struck fresh with it on St. Blases Day when you have your throat blessed. The One True Holy Catholic & Apostolic Church taking time out to bless my throat! And these people around here have to scratch their religion out of the ground. " "It is interesting to take a close look at this entrance of the Child Jesus into the solemnity of the temple, in the great comings and goings of many people, busy with their work: priests and Levites taking turns to be on duty, the numerous devout people and pilgrims anxious to encounter the Holy God of Israel. Yet none of them noticed anything. Jesus was a child like the others, a first-born son of very simple parents. Today's the memorial of St. Angela Merici, founder of the Ursulines.  Today is the feast the Conversion of Paul. Some related images from my books. The Loyola Kids Book of Bible Stories, the Loyola Kids Book of Heroes, and the Loyola Kids Book of Catholic Signs and Symbols. More:. https://amywelborn.wordpress.com/2023/01/25/the-conversion-of-saul-in-poetry/ St. Francis de Sales, whose feast is today, invites us to focus first, on the reality of the present moment. How is God calling me to love here, now? From St. Francis de Sales, whose feastday is today:
