Adventure tales of courageous men and deeds comprise this collection of eight Bible stories, chosen especially to appeal to boys, and are retold in a contemporary voice that is easy to relate to. The stories are prefaced with short introductions encouraging the reader to think about the message contained in each; and a section at the back of the book sets the stories in context and shows where to find them in the Bible. The illustrations are sophisticated with a classical feel, but have been given a modern edge.
