A prince who was lost for words A sister who worried far too much A
brother who walked differently through the world A girl who had to
be seen to be believed Join Krish and Miriam Kandiah on another
adventure through 10 retellings of stories from the Bible! While
many people with disabilities, differences and disadvantages are
often under-valued in our society, under-acknowledged in history
and under-represented, Krish and Miriam Kandiah team up again with
illustrator Andy Gray to show how God gives people with
disabilities a special mention, special honour and very special
jobs. Come onboard for the next instalment of Whistlestop Tales!
Sometimes we can focus on the stories of miraculous healing in the
Bible, but this can make people with disabilities and differences
feel like they have nothing to offer the world. But Krish and
Miriam introduce us to people in the Bible of all shapes and sizes
who go on incredible adventures with God! It's time to remember all
the characters in the Bible who do amazing world-changing things -
especially those who dare to be different.
Voted Children's Book of the year 2022 at the Christian Resources
Together Awards, Whistlestop Tales also gained an Award of Merit at
the Christianity Today 2022 Book Awards A superspy from Syria on a
surprising secret mission. An ancient mystery unlocked by a senator
from Sudan. A brave refugee from Jordan who makes history. An
Italian soldier whose world is turned upside down. Discover these
and other brilliant Bible stories from around the world to inspire
you on your own adventure with God! In ten action-packed stories,
Whistlestop Tales tells how God uses people from all over the world
in his global adventure. From Iraq to Italy, Sudan to Cyprus, each
tale begins with a look at a modern-day country to help ground the
characters in their original context and cultures. Things may not
happen exactly as you'll find in the Bible, a Whistlestop Tale
paints a picture of person, their challenges and victories in a new
and exciting way to get you thinking. If you're a fan of David
Walliams or Roald Dahl, the chances are you'll really enjoy a
Whistlestop Tale and maybe look at the Bible in a whole new way!
And don't be fooled by the frivolous first impression - Krish and
Miriam are tackling a serious and timely issue here - flagging that
racial diversity is a big feature of God's story in the Bible and
often we overlook this. In their first children's book, Krish and
Miriam Kandiah combine Biblical and theological expertise with a
generous helping of artistic license and fun, and, with help from
our incredible illustrator Andy Gray, show how a wonderful array of
characters are swept up in God's plans for the whole world!
