Story
According to the Greeks, there were many gods and goddesses in ancient Greece. These gods had control over many aspects of life on Earth. They were, in many respects, quite human. They could be friendly or nasty, enraged or happy, harsh or loving. They fell in love with one another, fought with one another, and even stole from one another.

Story
The bundle covers the stories of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob with a bonus book on Lot, Abraham's nephew. The Bible tells us that Abraham was God's friend and he was chosen to head up all of God's people, including us in the Church today. They were not a perfect family, indeed, these stories will raise your eyebrows at times, they are so dysfunctional. The story of Abraham is a journey through life. It is a journey all of us are called to make.

Story
Most people have heard of the Celts - the elusive, ancient tribal people who resided in present-day England, Ireland, Scotland and France. Paradoxically characterized as both barbaric and innocent, the Celts appeal to the modern world as a symbol of a bygone era, a world destroyed by the ambition of empire and the spread of Christianity throughout Western Europe. Despite the pervasive cultural and literary influence of the Celts, shockingly little is known of their way of life and beliefs, because very few records of their stories exist.

Publisher's summary
The Old Testament is not only an inspired canon of scripture but also stands among the finest works in English literature. Its many tales of angels and demons, heroes and villains, breath-taking miracles and heart-stirring prophecies ensure its appeal not only as a book of instruction and inspiration but also of fascination and enchantment. Above all, it is a book of stories, originally intended to be told to enthralled audiences via the oral tradition. Despite many translations, and having been transcribed now through many centuries, these great tales of old have never lost their power to touch hearts and open minds wherever they are told, in whatever culture or tongue.
This new work offers a retelling of 15 of the canon’s best-known stories. Delivered with the color and wonder of the storyteller’s craft, while remaining faithful to the Bible’s presentation, they will delight young and old listeners alike. Each story presented in this audiobook is also available as a separate title.
Clive Johnson is an interfaith minister, teacher, and storyteller. This is his eleventh book.
Critic reviews
"The tales from the Old Testament are as familiar and comfortable as pot roast for Sunday dinner, yet these are new and fresh in lively retellings by Clive Johnson. Using great storytelling techniques and modern language, Johnson makes these fifteen tales nearly dance off the pages." (San Francisco Book Review)
"Accessible, enlightening pieces that lend to read-aloud drama, bringing to life not just the tales but their underlying lessons. These stories don't just lend to read-aloud, but beg to be performed.... Embracing drama and adventure, but adding the moral, ethical, and spiritual flourishes necessary to open dialogues about the Bible's underlying lessons, making them far more than just a rehash of the originals.... Christians who look for a better way of imparting these complex messages to a younger audience than is typical for these Old Testament stories will find Tales Of Old: Stories from the Old Testament just the ticket for family enjoyment." (Midwest Book Review)
"A read-aloud compilation for children and adults...encouraging a revival of the oral tradition of storytelling.... Using simple language and vivid imagery, including perspectives on each story’s meaning or lesson...illuminating the modern relevance of these ancient writings." (BlueInk Review)

Story
Most people have heard of the Celts - the elusive, ancient tribal people who resided in present-day England, Ireland, Scotland and France. Paradoxically characterized as both barbaric and innocent, the Celts appeal to the modern world as a symbol of a bygone era, a world destroyed by the ambition of empire and the spread of Christianity throughout Western Europe. Despite the pervasive cultural and literary influence of the Celts, shockingly little is known of their way of life and beliefs, because very few records of their stories exist.

Story
Good Book is what happens when a regular guy actually reads the book on which his religion, his culture, and his world are based. Along the way, he grapples with the most profound theological questions: Does God prefer obedience or good deeds? And the most unexpected ones: Why are so many women in the Bible prostitutes? Why does God love bald men so much? Is Samson really that stupid? Good Book is an irreverent, enthralling journey through the world's most important work of literature.

Story
My name will mean nothing to you, but my story is a re-telling of the greatest story ever told and should mean everything to everyone. My story comes forth now because now is the promised day when satanic doubt spreads like black ink, threatening to blot out His very name, to reduce Him to nothing more than a teacher, to erase the eternal truths He taught and Lived. That cannot happen. Jesus was who He said He was. I know because I was there in the shadows of His holy footsteps. His miracles were real. I know because I am one of those miracles.

Story
The world of ancient Egypt springs magnificently to life in this astonishing historical novel of love, war, political intrigue, and religious revolution. Told from the first-person point of view, it is the story of Sinuhe, physician to the royal court of Pharaoh Amenhotep III and his successors in the middle of the tumultuous 14th century B.C. From his exalted position, Sinuhe was able to observe and participate in some of the most intimate and important decisions that affected the powerful Egyptian kingdom of the 18th Dynasty during a very troubled period of its history.

Story
Considered one of China's great classical novels, Wu Ch'êng-ên's Journey to the West was translated by Arthur Waley in abridged form as Monkey in 1942 and has delighted English readers ever since. It is a riveting adventure story about a priest's quest to obtain holy Buddhist scriptures for the Tang emperor; joining him on this rollicking journey: Sandy, Pigsy, and the mischievous monkey king, Sun Wukong, whose flying cloud and magic cudgel are never far from his infamous deeds.

Enjoyable for children and adults alike
"Tales of Old: Stories from the Old Testament" (2020) is written and narrated by Clive Johnson and successfully retells fifteen Old Testament biblical stories. Intended for children ages five and up, the stories will hold the attention of any adult as well. Well-known characters such as Adam and Eve, David and Goliath, Samson, and Esther are presented in a colorful and entertaining way. The only clunker is the story of Job, which consists almost entirely of dialogue. I thoroughly enjoyed the book. Johnson’s narration is terrific. Solidly recommended. At my request, I was given this free audiobook and have voluntarily left this review.

Narrator has a beautiful voice.
The author is the narrator and he has a great voice. I was looking for a more “dramatic” storytelling experience for my grandchildren. I feel the young ones need more emotive storytelling. I do however think this would make great “bedtime” story time.
It’s an interesting selection of OT stories. I’d recommend it for more quiet time listening.

Great stories of the Bible
I really enjoyed this book. It was like Sunday school on my phone. It was a great way to interpret stories without the D in the deal which always throws me off. I am so glad I got this book and I highly recommend it to those who want to learn these great stories of the Bible or you can even get it for your children, because yes it’s a great audio for children. God is good and I love stories that reiterate that this book is full of them.
