The storyteller behind Stories from the Life of Jesus delivers Stories from Adam and Eve to Ezekiel, retold by Celia Barker Lottridge, illus. by Gary Clement. Recounting the Old Testament tales in a voice tailored to children, Lottridge provides a straightforward translation (""Then Moses stretched his hand out over the sea. And God sent a strong east wind that blew all night and divided the water and made a path of dry land through the middle of the sea""), citing the biblical passages from which the stories originate. Clement (The Great Poochini) contributes illustrations characterized by loose pen-and-ink lines and watercolor wash. .
