The very first chapter, in Volume I, began with the story of
the Creation, in the first chapter of Genesis. Mr. Wolverton
continued the story thread of the Bible on through Adam and Eve,
Cain and Abel, on to the Flood, the founding of this present
world's civilization by Nimrod, the Tower of Babel, on to Abraham,
Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph. Then he traced the story thread on to
the Exodus of the Children of Israel under Moses, then continuing
to narrate many exciting events during the 40 years in the
wilderness before going on to the promised land of Palestine.
You're going to find this new Volume IV very exciting and
interesting. It contains Chapters 48 through 66--19 chapters, all
profusely illustrated by Mr. Wolverton. Mr. Wolverton's drawings
have attracted worldwide attention. TIME magazine has commented on
his work several times, and LIFE magazine three times has devoted
multiple-page sections to his unique style of art.
Volumes I, II, and III, of this BIBLE STORY book are now out
of print, but later on I hope they may be reprinted so that all our
subscribers may have the entire BIBLE STORY from the very first
chapter.
For the first time in your life you probably will thrill to
seeing these all-important Bible events made absorbingly
INTERESTING--actually coming to LIFE--really LIVING before your
eyes! You will see what those events have to do with OUR lives
TODAY. You'll see what they had to do with the PURPOSE being
worked out here below--in the tremendous world events of TODAY!
You'll see what vital connection they have with the TRUE GOSPEL of
Jesus Christ. Those events of the nation Israel are by no means
dead history of a bygone age. Through them God was working out His
MASTER PLAN for YOU and for ME!
Those events were recorded FOR OUR INSTRUCTION TODAY. You'll
read, in the New Testament (Revised Standard Version): "Now these
things happened to them as a WARNING, but they were written down
for our instruction, upon whom the end of the age has come"
(I Cor. 10:11).
Mr. Wolverton, truly, makes the Bible come alive! He has been
gifted with a rare talent for narrating these Biblical events in
language so simple that children can understand--language which
will grip and hold the interest of adults of all ages. And his
pictures are astonishingly REALISTIC.
Now as we found necessary in offering previous volumes, we
must of necessity impose a few restrictions. Only one copy can be
sent to a family or household. We cannot send copies to others at
your request, but ONLY to those who request it for themselves. We
cannot send copies in bulk for you to distribute.
But I AM happy, and grateful God has made it possible to send
you YOUR copy absolutely free, even including postage.
Then, at this time of year we usually offer again the
astonishing booklet, "The Plain Truth About Christmas." It is,
indeed, shocking--but IT'S TRUE! It is amazingly eye-opening! The
