"From the author-illustrator who brought you the ‘Boring Bible’ series and the wildest, craziest, weirdest, barmiest and goriest bible stories comes ‘50 Jammiest Bible Stories’ - it’ll be some time before this man runs out of adjectives..."

"These are stories of unlikely escapes, daring escapades and cutting-it-too-close scenarios. Included are the story of Jacob stealing his brother’s blessing, Elisha praying that an army would be blinded and Paul’s shipwreck."

A boy who ended up attending his own funeral, a man who lived to be an eye-boggling 930 years old, a duo of jailbreakers who got away with it ... loads of really jammy things happened to people in Bible times! Andy Robb, author of the Boring Bible series, has collected together the very jammiest passages of Scripture in 50 Jammiest Bible Stories. Andy's witty and conversational style, plus colourful illustrations, brings God's Word to life for children.

Among the collection are the stories of how Jesus healed a man blind from birth, how He irked the religious leaders with what He said and did, how His followers set up the very first churches -- and how we can fit into the ongoing story of God's family today as well.

Each story has a cliffhanger ending and a Bible passage to look up to find out what happened next.

The Bible tells us about some remarkable events, and this book will help to introduce readers to the equally remarkable God who lies behind those events.

Andy Robb is an established children's illustrator and writer with almost thirty books to his name. He is passionate about producing books that help children understand who God is and how to live life God's way.
