By Adelaide Bee Cooper, Editor Youth’s Instructor, Introduction by Elder Stephen N. Haskell.
It is the only book we have that gives a connected account of the early Bible Stories from creation to the giving of the law on Sinai.
The early Bible Stories never lose their beauty, freshness, and charm. They bring new inspiration to those advanced in years, and are read with pleasure and eager delight by youth and children. The principles revealed in the lives of the early Bible characters will, if instilled into the minds of the young, make an indelible impression for good that neither time nor later associations can erase.
Mothers, read them to your children !
In this book the author retains the beauty, simplicity, and sweet expression of the Bible narrative, and gives a clear, vivid description of the six days of creation, and a complete record of all subsequent events found in the Scriptures to the giving of the law on Mount Sinai.
Children, you should read “Easy Steps,” and you can do the very best kind of missionary work by loaning and selling this book to your playmates and friends.
The illustrations in this volume are practical. They have been prepared with the special purpose of aiding the children in gaining a correct and intelligent idea of the Bible story—not simply to please the eye.
What Our Ministers Say of “Easy Steps in the Bible Story.”
The morning, my copy of “Easy Steps” came, beginning with the title page, I read every line in the book before laying it down. I found it to be just what its name implies,—“Easy Steps in the Bible Story.” My little boy, not quite five years old, can not read a word, yet he can give a connected account of almost the whole story by the simple, expressive illustrations. I hope thousands of children will be provided with this book, and will get the instruction and pleasure from it that our little boy has.
ELDER A. G. DANIELLS.President General Conference.
That best of all Bible books for children—“Easy Steps in the Bible Story”—gains the unqualified approval of the children themselves. They are glad to read it more than once.
ELDER A. T. JONES.
God would have the story of the creation; of the flood; of his servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; of Joseph and Moses; and the deliverance of the children of Israel—of his wonderful dealings with mankind—repeated in the language of the people. This is what “Easy Steps” does. It gives the story of what God says, and what he has done in his dealings with the children of men.
ELDER STEPHEN N. HASKELL.
My copy of “Easy Steps” at hand. My wife read it to our little girl, three and one-half years old, and she is completely carried away with it. I brought home some other books of a like description, and my wife and little girl think “Easy Steps” the most interesting of all. It is a veritable jewel in text, and gem in art.
