|  | Baker Book of Bible People
The Bible is a book about people, and most of what we learn about God`s plan for the world is by studying how God works in people`s lives. Every student of the Bible can benefit from carefully investigating the lives of Bible people, and kids are especially fascinated by real life Bible people with whom they can identify. This is the second in the Baker reference series for kids first introduced with The Baker Bible Dictionary for Kids. The Baker Book of Bible People for Kids is a delightfully colorful children`s reference handbook exploring the key people of the Bible, offering long and short biographies of familiar and not so familiar Bible people. Entries include phonetic pronunciations of the name, information about who the person was, where to find the person in the Bible, a key event in the person`s life, relatives, and a study question. Every page is filled with eye-catching color illustrations of key life events of Bible heroes and villains along with other color design features which assist in organizing the material, and aid in learning. Valuable insights are included concerning strengths, weaknesses, and life patterns. More than 250 Bible people are included. This work is authored by members of the Livingstone Corporation, an editorial group devoted to producing excellent Christian works. Their leading products include The Life Application Bible, Adventures in Odyssey Bible, Kids Application Bible, and One Year with Jesus, to name only a few.
