WYD resource looks at young people in the Bible
An Australian writer and broadcaster, Elizabeth Fletcher, has prepared a new online resource in time for World Youth Day, which looks at incidents in the lives of famous biblical people when they were young.
Examples on www.bible-topten.com
include the Jesus when he was lost in Jerusalem, the fight
between the boy David and Goliath, Jairus' twelve-year-old daughter
returned to life, Ruth's loyalty to Naomi, the young disciple
John. Each page gives a Scripture passage, a short outline of
the story and then relates the incident to the lives of a school
student today.
Elizabeth has worked for the Catholic Education Office in Sydney
writing the 'Faithful to God: Faithful to People' Curriculum Document.
She also contributed chapters for the To Know Worship and Love
RE textbook series and wrote 'Women in the Bible', for Harper
Collins - which also has a website: www.womeninthebible.net
