And There Was Light

It is a joy to see And There Was Light back in print and available for more teachers and students to enjoy. Jakob Streit’s retelling of the stories of Genisis is shines with a captivating clarity that has made them classroom treasures for over 30 years. In fact, this book has been one of the most-often requested titles throughout the time our book shop has existed (the entire time of which it has been out-of-print).

In addition to the well-known tales from Moses’ first book, Streit also added stories about Michael and the Dragon, Edelweiss and the Mountain Flowers, Why Roses Have Thorns, and many more — all placed in a just the right spot within the flow of Bible stories.

And There Was Light is the first of Streit’s three books of Old Testament stories created for 3rd grade. It is followed by Journey to the Promised Land and We Will Build a Temple.
