The Prophecy and the Hope

The Prophecy and the Hope is an imaginative adventure that invites children to experience key Old Testament events through the perspective of animal characters. In this creative retelling by bestselling author Marty Machowski, readers follow animal characters woven into some of the most dramatic moments in biblical history, beginning with the Exodus and continuing through stories of Mount Sinai, Jericho, David and Goliath, Elijah, Isaiah, and more. As oxen, camels, ravens, mice, and other creatures take part in the action, children encounter the suspense, wonder, and growing expectation of God’s unfolding plan of redemption. Second in the Redemption Tales series for ages 8–12, The Prophecy and the Hope combines adventure-driven storytelling with biblical truth to help kids see how the Old Testament points forward to the Savior to come. Bible study questions at the end help readers explore the “truth behind the tales,” making it a strong pick for independent reading, family discussion, or classroom use.
