INTRODUCTION All the stories in this book - one for every day in the year - come from the Bible, which is like a whole library in itself. It contains sixty-six books of adventure, history, poetry, letters and much more, written by many different people over hundreds of years. It is in two main parts - the Old Testament, originally written in Hebrew, the language of the ancient Jews, and the New Testament, written first in Greek, which was understood by everyone in the Roman Empire when Jesus lived on earth. Not everything in the Bible could possibly have been squeezed into this book, so I have picked out the most exciting stories and the best-loved ones. But I chose with another purpose too. Although the Bible may seem to be a puzzling mixture of different kinds of writing, the separate parts fit together, like pieces in a jig-saw, to make one whole picture. I wanted to make that picture plain. The Bible shows us what God is like, and what we are really like too. Because God never changes and human nature stays the same, the Bible is always up-to-date. It answers the sort of questions which people are always asking: "What is God like?" "Why is there unhappiness and evil and death in our world?" "What is the purpose of living?" and "Does it matter how I behave?" In the Old Testament God spoke through men and women but in the New Testament he visits our world himself, in the person of his Son, Jesus. Jesus showed us exactly what God is like. Best of all, he put right the mess we have made of ourselves and our world by accepting death on our behalf. He won the fight against death and evil and came back to new and never-ending life. The Bible closes with a vision of the future, when Jesus will reign for ever and bring justice and peace to a new and happy world. John Haysom and I have had a great deal of pleasure and excitement in painting and writing these stories. We hope you will enjoy them so much that before long you will buy a modern translation of the Bible and read the whole story for yourselves Mary Batchelor.
