The fun begins with one of twenty-five captivating Bible stories that help children deepen their understanding of who God is and their Catholic Faith.

Everyone loves hearing a good story. Even better than a told story, however, is one that unfolds before your eyes. I noticed that if I read a story from the Bible, the children in my Sunday school class were often not listening. However, if I told the story while drawing it out cartoon-style, on a large sheet of paper taped to the wall, the kids were riveted to the story. These are the drafts of the Bible stories that I used to teach the children in Sunday school. I would start the drawing with the background, hills or buildings in the first panel, and then I would add the characters in the foreground as they are introduced to the story. This idea for drawing the Bible stories while telling them is from a book I read many years ago. I have not been able to find that book again. Therefore, I am providing these sketches in hopes that someone else can use them. The stories are listed in the same order as they are in the Bible. Kids of all ages benefit by knowing the Bible stories.

Would you like to help the children in your life make a deeper connection with God through the Bible? Professional actor and illustrator Sandy Silverthorne provides short and often humorous accounts that will grab kids’ attention and keep them engaged in some of the greatest stories of the Bible. But more than that, this book shows young readers, ages 7 to 11, how to easily create their own illustrations. As they practice the simple, step-by-step instructions drawing various Bible characters, animals, and other objects, they will interact with each story, in a way that makes it personal and memorable.

With only a large sheet of paper (or a dry-erase board, chalkboard, or overhead projector), a marker, and Draw and Tell Saints, you can easily share with your students -- or your children or grandchildren -- the fascinating and inspiring stories of the Church's holy ones. Youngsters respond best -- and remember more -- when you capture their attention ... and keep it. Now, as never before, that's getting harder and harder to do in our high-tech world. Draw and Tell Saints is a memorable way to share the amazing lives of these holy men and women! As you read a story about a saint (or a blessed), you draw a line, put in a squiggle, add a swirl. (The book tells you when!) By the end of the tale, your final picture shows a symbol of that person. Younger children have fun guessing what that final symbol will be. Older ones enjoy drawing along with the storyteller/illustrator. Children of every age will receive clear, solid, Catholic religious education. Book jacket.

You can draw characters, places and animalls from Bible times! Draw the stories of Jesus telling Peter about fishing, the Good Shepard, and Jesus riding to Jerusalem on a donkey.

This book cleverly combines 42 familiar Bible stories with simple illustrations that anyone can draw.
