This is a colorful paperback of the story of David from the Bible. It contains the stories of when he is anointed by Samuel to be king, slays Goliath, plays his harp for King Saul, has to hide from Saul, and finally is crowned king. It features four full pages of stickers! Because of the stickers, it's for kids three and up.I really like the color and the illustrations in this story. It's bright and the facial expressions are great! I think both boys and girls would like this book, especially since the stickers feature a variety of items they'd both enjoy.
I received this book free from Kregel Publications in exchange for an honest review.

This means she must give up the job she loves to marry Darius, a self-involved man who couldn't possibly be happy with her for a wife. When she loses her job, her control, will she turn back to the God she believes abandoned her? Will she find where her true worth lies?

Go behind the scenes of the Biblical Rebekah and walk a mile in her sandals! We're introduced to Rebekah months before her marriage to Isaac and see the strained relationships she has with her mother and brother Laban. She journeys far to become the wife of a man she's never met and and we see what she's thinking and feeling. We gain insight into Isaac also as the event of his childhood where his father Abraham almost sacrificed him deeply affected his relationships with his mother and father and ultimately with Rebekah and their sons Jacob and Esau. Ultimately, we come to understand how Rebekah could have deceived her husband in order for Jacob to get the blessing instead of Esau.
