The account of the prophet Joseph, one of the 12 sons of Jacob. He was sold into Egypt as a slave by his brothers, but God used him to save many lives and even rescue his own family from famine. This kept alive the hope of God’s promise.

This book of the Bible tells the story of the Apostles, messengers whom Jesus sent into the world to proclaim the good news that we can be saved from our sins by what Jesus has done for us. We hear about the mighty acts of the Holy Spirit that God did through the apostles. Wherever they went, people believed and formed churches, that is, groups of people who love each other and worship God through Jesus Christ. Acts is the story of the church, its birth, its growth, its trials, and its lessons for today.
This account explains the life of Jesus Christ: his birth, his life and miracles, his death, his rising from the dead, and his ascending to heaven. Find out why Jesus came, what his message was, what his death and resurrection means for us today. The story begins with an introduction showing how Jesus’ life fits in with all the other prophets.
This is the Gospel of Jesus Christ told to us by God’s messenger Luke. The word “Gospel” means “Good News,” and in this book we learn all about the life of Jesus Christ, how he was miraculously born, how he performed many miracles, but how sinful people conspired to put him to death. Yet after three days he rose from the dead to show that he has victory over sin, death, hell, evil spirits, and the devil. This is the good news, that Jesus has come into the world to save sinful people like us.
This gives the account of the prophet Jonah, whom God called to preach repentance to the rebellious people of the great city of Ninevah. But Jonah had some of his own repenting to do, and he was swallowed by a great fish. He eventually made it to Ninevah, where the people did repent and Jonah learned about God’s mercy.
This gives the account of the prophet Daniel who was deported to Babylon and became an advisor to kings. Well known for his wisdom, courage, and faithfulness, he did what was right even when he was persecuted for it. He refused to pray to other gods and was thrown into a den of lions, but the Lord delivered him. Daniel served the King of kings and Lord of lords. Do you?
