The Children of Bible Times

By Sam Patrick and Omar Garrison

It is often difficult to imagine the figures of the Bible as real people because they lived in special times, so different from our own. Yet this book brilliantly restores the young people of the Scriptures to the roles of actual boys and girls who will seem as familiar as the children you see everyday.

The artist and author believe that the children of the Old and New Testaments were basically the same as those of modern times and have carried out that view here with reverence and simplicity. Sam Patrick's dramatic black and white portraits based on living models are accompanied by Omar Garrison's brief descriptions of the part each person played in the events of the Bible.

Manasseh, who became King at the age of eight . . . the Shepherd Boy, who heard the angels sing . . . Michal, who helped the young David to escape . . . Jubal, who brought music to men, and sixty other immortal young people are included in this memorable album.

As this perceptive artist and author brought to life the great moments in the life of Christ in their previous book, JESUS LOVED THEM, so will their similar presentation, THE CHILDREN OF BIBLE TIMES, help boys and girls and their parents to understand and to share together the events in the lives of these young people of long ago.
