Illustrated by
Kady MacDonald Denton.
Pilling retells the best-known stories from the Old and New Testaments (including "Cain and Abel," "David and Goliath," and "The Sermon on the Mount") with respect and reverence. Each adaptation includes a notation of chapter and verse, and she includes quotations from both the King James and New International versions of the Bible. Denton's pastel-colored illustrations contribute to the beauty of the stories.
