Murray Watts – författare

Bibeln är en värld fylld av äventyr och dramatik, men också av kärlek och hopp. Här ryms mer än 200 kända och mindre kända bibelberättelser, där spännande texter och levande illustrationer tar dig genom sorg och glädje på ett sätt som gör att du gärna återvänder. Att skriva den här boken har varit ett äventyr, och jag hoppas att den som läser den också ska uppleva det så. Murray Watts "en mycket bra version för både yngre och äldre läsare. "Agneta Warheim, Bibliotekstjänst

Please don't hang up.'- An Atheist Troubled by His Doubts: he just wishes that he had the simple faith of other atheists.

Murray Watts is one of the UK's foremost retellers of the Bible. He combines expert Bible knowledge with skilful storytelling to create a compelling text that speaks to children of today.This comprehensive, faithful yet imaginative retelling of the Bible reflects the variety of the original writings (e.g. reportage, poetry, history, letters) making a very readable collection - now a classic on the Lion Children's list."Murray Watts has written a modern classic. With simple words in fine phrases he paints the stories as vividly as Helen Cann illustrates them. Murray Watts projects onto the screen of a child's imagination indelible pictures of the greatest story ever told." - Rt Rev James Jones, Bishop of Liverpool.
