The Chosen People: A Compendium of Sacred and Church History for School-Children

Designed especially for schoolchildren, this compact guide walks young minds through the grand sweep of Scripture, from the earliest patriarchs to the birth of Christ. The author strips away overwhelming details, highlighting the key events that set the stage for the promised redemption while keeping the narrative clear and approachable. Poetic excerpts and brief explanations help illustrate how prophecy unfolds across generations, inviting readers to see the Bible as a continuous story rather than isolated chapters.

Each section ends with simple questions that encourage teachers and pupils to explore the material together, and handy tables line up kings, prophets, and biblical books side by side for quick reference. The later chapters bridge the New Testament world with the early church, describing the apostles, martyrs, and the development of Christian worship up to the author’s present day. Though concise, the work aims to spark a lasting curiosity about the faith’s history and its ongoing promise.
