I am posting this article series because I believe that the articles may be helpful to some people. I learned the Bible narrative through repeated reading of the Old and New Testament to a large extent in conjunction with the reading of the Daily Offices. When my mother and I began bringing my nieces to church with us, I purchased for them Arch Book Bible stories that recount the Biblical narrative "through fun-to-read rhymes and bright illustrations." These books are designed to capture the attention of children and to tell the Bible stories "in an enjoyable and memorable way." In reading the stories to my nieces and later to my grandnephew, I reinforced the Bible narrative in my own mind. Sometimes I would read through a story a couple of times and then tell it to them from memory. It is much easier to remember the Bible narrative if we are sharing it with others.
