One of 101 titles in the St. Joseph Picture Book Series, this book by popular author Rev. Jude Winkler, OFM. Conv. provides children with simple explanations of Great Men of the Old Testament. Learning about the great men of the Old Testament is important for children because their lives teach us valuable lessons about faith, courage, and trusting in God. These stories, found in the Bible, show us how God worked in the lives of ordinary people to do amazing things, and they remind us that God can work in our lives too.

For example, Abraham teaches us about trusting in God, even when we don't know what lies ahead. God promised him many descendants and a new land, and Abraham believed, showing us the power of faith. Moses shows us bravery and perseverance. He led the Israelites out of Egypt and taught them about God's commandments, showing us that God can guide us even through difficult times.
Other figures like David, who defeated the giant Goliath with just a stone and great faith, remind us that we don't need to be the strongest or biggest to make a difference if we trust in God. Daniel, who was thrown into a lion's den, shows us the importance of standing up for what we believe.
These stories help children see that they, too, can live with courage, faith, and trust in God. By learning about these men, children can understand that God is with us, guiding us, and helping us face any challenge.
