Young children love this collection of short Bible stories accompanied by pictures, which are brightly coloured as well as realistic in their approach. It is an excellent tool to use in introducing young children to a wide selection of Bible characters. The questions at the end of each story help to reinforce the story and involve the child on a more interactive level instead of a purely passive one. The gospel message is explained and applied to young lives throughout the book.

Carine Mackenzie is a well-respected author of Children's bible stories. The Little Hands Story Bible was used as part of a millennium exhibition, which aimed to bring the Bible back to the people. School trips were organised to the various events and Church youth groups also attended the exhibitions and workshops run by Jennifer Stevenson the artist.

How can a basin of water help you write your first book? Carine Mackenzie wrote her first book, Gideon - Soldier of God, in the kitchen of her home in Inverness, Scotland. A two year old was at her feet playing blissfully with a basin of water. "It was the only way I could be sure of getting some peace and quiet ... and it worked." The two year old is now married with a family of her own and Carine's first attempt at writing has grown too. Her talent for retelling Bible stories has meant that children from all over the world have been given the opportunity to discover Jesus Christ for themselves. The first title written in the kitchen with the assistance of a basin of water has inspired the production of many other books. Carine now has over 50 different titles in print and sales of over 3 million books.
