From School Library Journal:
Kindergarten-Grade 6-- Nine Biblical heroes--Noah, Abraham, Jacob, Moses, Joshua, David, Ezekiel, Daniel, Jonah--are featured in a slim, bright volume. A few lines of text introduce each, only hinting at their full stories, or the meaning of their heroism, or of God's actions regarding them. (This brevity can mislead: a statement that Moses was one of the ``. . . greatest leaders of the ancient world'' only makes sense in a Hebrew-centered context. Ancient Egyptians, Greeks, or Romans would not have recognized his name). For each of the nine, a suitable African-American spiritual, with full musical notation (voice and piano or guitar accompaniment) appears on the facing page. Naive, lively illustrations in brilliant hues depict the Biblical figures as African-Americans might have imagined them, in their own image and likeness, in shades ranging from cafe au lait to molasses. --Patricia Dooley, Univ . of Washington, Seattle
