As a storyteller, I appreciated reading and reflecting on the biblical stores as told by Lindsay Hardin Freeman. I can easily imagine adapting these tales for oral storytelling events to the delight of children and adults alike. Conversations following the events will come a live with the help of the excellent questions accompanying each story. --The Rt. Rev. Michael Hanley Episcopal Bishop of Oregon Portland, OregonI liked the dove and the Federal Birds of Investigation. Also I liked how it was taken from the dove and the other animals perspective in a way I could understand. Definitely a thumbs up!' --Alex Hamann, age 10 Wilmington, North CarolinaRefreshing, beautiful, inspiring and creative these are all words I would use to describe the first person narrative writings of Lindsay Hardin-Freeman. Our women s book group read The Scarlet Cord: Conversations with God s Chosen Women and we fell in love with her approach to women we d read of often but were reading again with new eyes. We saw ourselves in a different light and grew in faith. Rev. Freeman has accomplished this again in her children s book, The Spy on Noah s Ark and other Bible Stories from the Inside Out. Children (and adults too) reading this new work will find themselves inside the stories, feeling in the center of centuries-old accounts of God s relationship with and love for His creation, all creation. This in turn could spur them to begin their own journey of faith with the Living God. --Julie H. Crider Book Group Facilitator, Damariscotta Baptist Church, Damariscotta, Maine
