As you read this month’s magazine you will see a poem by Julia Donaldson, a well known author of books for young children. One of her most famous titles is “The Gruffalo”. It has been enjoyed by many children. The poem reminds us how books can give us experiences of new worlds and enable us to explore different aspects of life.
I was no longer a child when “The Gruffalo” was first printed but I have enjoyed reading Julia’s stories to younger members of my family.
I do still remember books that had an impact on me as a child. “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe,” by C. S Lewis was read to my class by our primary school teacher and the story stayed in my memory. Some years later my sister brought it home as her reading book and I was so pleased to be able to read it myself as well as the rest of the Narnia series. I had remembered the story but not the title or the author, so it was especially exciting to rediscover it and to realise there were more books to read.
Christians have the Holy Bible available to read, in a number of translations that make it accessible to a wide range of people and in many languages. It is a whole library of books to discover and to immerse oneself in, enabling each individual to learn more about the Christian faith, to empathise with the characters within its pages and to learn about people’s relationships with each other and with God.
I do not know if it is still true but it has been said that there are more Bibles printed and sold than any other book. I wonder if it is the “most read” book though? I remember a preacher saying that all Bibles should be red!
Children’s Bibles and individual Bible stories have been published in many styles suitable for different age groups, using colourful illustrations and simple text.
Is there anyone you could share your favourite Bible stories with?
It would be lovely if many more children and adults could say,
“But I have God’s Book inside me.”
