Bible Stories and Life Lessons
Bible Stories and Life Lessons brings together Ethel Barrett’s story-driven books that use the people and events of the Bible to help young readers think about faith, choices, courage, obedience, responsibility, and character.
Which Way to Nineveh?
– Bible Stories about Choices, Courage, and Following God
Which way will you go when God asks you to choose?
Jonah ran in the opposite direction. Joash started well and lost his way. Hezekiah learned where to turn when everything seemed hopeless. Daniel and his friends discovered that courage begins with the little choices. Esther risked her life. Nehemiah refused to quit.
Through kings and prophets, lions and armies, palaces and ruined cities, Ethel Barrett tells the story of people who came face to face with something God wanted them to do—and had to decide what they would do about it.
With humor, suspense, and unforgettable conversations with “Conscience,” Barrett turns Bible history into something wonderfully personal. These aren’t simply stories about people who lived long ago. They are stories about choices—and about the choices young readers are making right now.
“Which way is God’s will for my life?”
