BIBLICAL SUPERHEROES & HEROINES

And the Lord said to the Publishers: Parents do not clearly remember the stories of the past. It has been many years since they went to Sunday School. They are forgetting to read or tell these wonderful stories to their children. Lo, I will send them books of Bible stories, Testaments both Old and New. And reviewers will weigh them and booksellers will sell them and the parents will buy them and the children will hear them.

They are welcome to their myths, their fairy tales, their science fiction and mysteries. But the stories of Jacob and Job, Sarah and Esther, Jesus and Paul are good stories, too, and it behooves the people to read them each according to the needs of their family and their religion.
