"NEHEMIAH BUILDS THE WALL" NEW CHILDREN'S BOOK/RECORD

"Stick with it!" That's the clear message in the next Bible book/record for children, "Nehemiah Builds the Wall." Nehemiah not only held out against temptation, he listened to God carefully all the time to know how to proceed in his work. His success holds real encouragement for any child wrestling with something that seems too big for him.

Lively narration and catchy songs make up the 7-inch, 33 ⅓ rpm record. Its companion booklet combines a simple text with absorbing illustrations. Together they make Nehemiah 's story come alive for preschoolers and beginning readers—for adults as well.

Book/records in "The Bible in Story and Song" series are finding their way into a variety of places. An interdenominational Sunday School in New York uses them regularly in planning its classes. A primary school in South Africa has featured one in a daily assembly. And the mother of a little girl who lives far from a church says, "It's like having Sunday School come to her."
