The Lion Storyteller Bible (Paperback) - Waterstones

Good storytelling comes from blending your own passion, wit and creativity with skill. This book shares the secrets of the skill and is both a training manual and a resource! This is a revised and expanded edition of 'Anyone Can Tell a Story' first published in 2002, with many new stories and ideas. Isaiah 11 describes the coming era when Jesus reigns on earth. Peace and harmony will dominate even the animal kingdom. Verse 6 paints a picture of this time: “The wolf will live with the lamb, the leopard will lie down with the goat, the calf and the lion and the yearling together; and a little child will lead them.” The image of lions lying peacefully beside baby calves describes a world restored to its original state. Isaiah 65:25 continues this idea: “The wolf and the lamb will feed together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox, but the food of the serpent will be dust” (cf. Genesis 1:30). Ultimate peace has been established when carnivores no longer kill to eat, and, in the millennial kingdom, the king of the beasts is tamed. These lively retellings are full of humour and drama. The strong rhythmic prose invites children to join in.” Times Educational Supplement The Lion Storyteller Bible broke new ground in its presentation – both verbal and visual – of Bible stories.

Since The Lion Storyteller Bible was first published Bob Hartman has established an international reputation as a storyteller and writer.For thousands of years, the stories in the Bible have been passed on from generation to generation. The new retelling of many well-loved stories from the Old and New testaments is ideal for sharing with children today. First to be read aloud and then read alone – The Lion Storyteller Bible will be treasured by children of all ages. Lions are mentioned in several contexts throughout Scripture, sometimes positively to describe God (Hosea 11:10) and sometimes negatively as symbolic of evil and destruction (Proverbs 28:15). Peter compares Satan to a “roaring lion” and warns us to beware of the enemy’s schemes that will destroy us (1 Peter 5:8). A lion’s roar can be heard up to five miles away and is intended to terrify all who hear it. Lions roar to establish their territory and to communicate their power. But a roar can do nothing. It is threatening but powerless unless we give in to fear and allow the lion to overtake us. Our enemy, Satan, roars his threats, doubts, and accusations in an effort to terrify us into giving up so he can defeat us (Ephesians 6:11–16). But even the threat of a roaring lion cannot overcome those who stand firm in the armor of the Lord (Romans 8:37). How does the fact that there are gay/homosexual animals impact the idea that homosexuality is a sin? Return to: Probably the most familiar mention of lions in the Bible is found in the story of the prophet Daniel. This godly man was thrown into a lions’ den for refusing to obey the Persian king’s ban on prayer (Daniel 6:16). A lions’ den was sure destruction for anyone tossed inside. Yet God showed His authority over even the most powerful of beasts by shutting the lions’ mouths. Daniel, rather than come to a gruesome demise, emerged from the den unharmed (Daniel 6:21–22).

Lions are featured in the description of the cherubim surrounding God’s throne. Ezekiel 10:14 says, “Each of the cherubim had four faces: One face was that of a cherub, the second the face of a human being, the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.” Some assert that the presence of a lion’s face may symbolize the boldness and strength of God’s character. Other scholars suggest the lion’s face represents God’s rule over the wild beasts.

Q & A

Biblical storytelling can do one of two things," says Bob. "It can excite and inspire and create a thirst for more. Or it can bore and embarrass and leave a group with a sad sense of 'so what?' And that's an important difference, if you believe, as I do, that those stories contain something essential about who we are and who God is." string(1588) "Bob Hartman has an enviable reputation as a performance storyteller. Here are his insights into how to retell Bible stories plus 35 great stories to practise on. The book is structured by storytelling styles, with pull quotes and boxes to keep the central material clear.
