Collection of Bible Stories for Children: Works by the Holy Spirit

By Elizabeth Courtney Maas

This true account of historical events, containing important biblical characters, communicates, in rhyme format, poetic recounts of Gods chosen people; these heroes walked the road of righteousness, faith, and truth, lead by Gods light, from the time of Genesis, to the birth, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. These song like poems, easily and naturally teach children, the heroic actions of each leader, chosen by God, to spread the Laws, teachings, and instructions for Holy living; simultaneously, each story will captivate the attention, comprehension and interest of children, in learning their biblical roots/family ties, as well assist in their healthy, productive development, into adulthood.

The goal for learning each story is to lay, as a foundation, the grounds of understanding, truth and purpose for our birth, past history, and cultural roots, as children of God, while teaching both children and adults the importance of how to live Holy, and to be accepted into Gods kingdom.

Children will grow in love, respect and obedience to God, as they learn that all power, glory, and righteousness, is in the palm of Gods hand. God carries each child, protecting and guiding all of us, by His Word, and His laws, as our foundation.

Take the hand of your child, as you read together, the miraculous works of Gods hand, from the moment of creation, in Genesis, including the provisions of Gods commandment thru Moses, to the salvation of humanity, through Jesus Christ, the Son Of God.

Elizabeth Courtney Maas

As a child, I possessed an inquisitive mind, seeking answers to all the mysteries to be discovered, through a long journey of coasting through changing tides, passing moons, and rising sunsets. I, as an explorer, strived to reach that peak of the mountain in discovering love, knowledge, peace, and truth along the trail before my feet. I was an outsider looking in, studying through observation the open doorways that guided the lamp upon my feet along new pathways. Rather than be a follower, I strived to be a leader. I learned that the only way to acquire knowledge, seek hidden truth, and grow in spirit is that I must take the necessary steps toward my God-given vision of helping others. I worked toward applying my knowledge, experience, and world travel as effective goal strategies in reaching my destination. I treasure and thank my Heavenly Father for all my blessings and learning experiences over time—from being purified in the Dead Sea in Israel, worshipping Yaweh on Mount Sinai in Egypt, and visiting Blessed Virgin Mary’s house in Turkey, to bathing my feet in the healing pool of Siloam, in Israel. Upon this journey along a road of discovery, I was lead into the oceans of the deep seas. Within these seas, I found the treasures of my heart, leading me into applying my academic knowledge, world travels, and faith into working one-on-one with low-income children and disabled adults as an ordained minister, evangelist, and missionary worldwide. Shortly after receiving a BA degree in psychology/sociology from the University of California at Davis, I experienced a deep calling in my life to utilize the gifts of writing and teaching, granted by God, as ordained gifts to share with all humanity. God had revealed to me the importance of applying gifts of writing as a tool for teaching children and adults the wisdom, righteousness, justice, and power of God. The four books I (and the Holy Spirit) have published cover a broad range, originating from inspirational reading material, a life testimony and collections of prayers, followed by a collection of Bible stories for children. My main objective is to help others in the process of learning, growth, and healing, as well as in dealing with everyday life scenarios. Writing is a powerful instrument and tool in teaching children and adults the history, politics, and government under the reign, power, and authority of Jeshua, Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT

I give thanks to God, in the name of Jesus, for granting me the knowledge, wisdom, and faith to overcome hardships, fulfill dreams, and to serve as helping hands, for the children, disabled, and elderly population.

Thanks, Heavenly Father, for the sun that shines upon me when I stumble through the darkness;

I offer thanks for the rays of hope that shine upon me when I linger in the cold, dark world, of injustice.

Stars guide my feet along the pathway of uncertain soil, along the road of discovery, and restoration, by your Great light.

Thank you God, the Father, for your mercy, love, wisdom and blessings. Thank you for you divine revelations, for making this book, and records, containing history of creation, miraculous works, and miracles, by your mighty hands.

Upon my journey, along the road to self discovery and exploration of hidden treasures, I approached a mountain that was necessary to climb, in order to transform my dream, into a reality. As I reached the peak of this mountain, upon sailing the distant seas, the power and hand of Almighty God, carried me through, within the palm of his right hand, in fulfilling my goals of publishing books, helping the sick and ministering to children.

So, as God directed my
