A Fresh New Telling of the Bible Story
Especially suitable for children
Poor Job?the faithful man, who loses nearly everything, except for his trust to do right before God. Losing his family and livestock and stricken by a terrible disease, all seems hopeless for this once celebrated man. Friends come to give their advice and support, yet it takes the voice of God to challenge Job, bringing him back to the life of happiness and riches that he once knew.
This delightful retelling of the classic Bible tale is told in the spirit of the countless storytellers who have enthralled audiences young and old across many centuries.
Please note that this tale is one of the series, Bible Stories Shorts, and is also available on Audible. This story is also included in a collection of other stories in Tales of Old: Stories from The Old Testament, by Clive Johnson.
Critical praise for ?Tales of Old?
“The tales from the Old Testament are as familiar and comfortable as pot roast for Sunday dinner, yet these are new and fresh in lively retellings by Clive Johnson. Using great storytelling techniques and modern language, Johnson makes these tales nearly dance off the pages.” – San Francisco Book Review
“Accessible, enlightening pieces that lend to read-aloud drama, bringing to life not just the tales but their underlying lessons. These stories don’t just lend to read-aloud, but beg to be performed.” – Midwest Book Review
“Using simple language and vivid imagery, including perspectives on each story?s meaning or lesson…illuminating the modern relevance of these ancient writings.” – BlueInk Review
“Embracing drama and adventure, but adding the moral, ethical, and spiritual flourishes necessary to open dialogues about the Bible’s underlying lessons, making them far more than just a rehash of the originals.” – Midwest Book Review
