Book 1: Mary was too young, Elizabeth too old, Joseph too gullible, the shepherds too smelly, Anna too senile, Simeon too idealistic, Salome too flippant. The wise men should have minded their own business, Zachariah should have accepted he'd never have children, King Herod dared control God, the Oriental scholars dared interpret God. Life application and easy good work suggestions at the end of each chapter ~ THINK AND DO. Ages 4-12 with the few long words divided up to help the early reader.
