"The Call of Rebekah" tells the story of the Bible's Rebekah and Isaac from Rebekah's perspective. Drawing from biblical scholarship and archaeology, and filled with historically accurate illustrations, this engaging narrative is designed to spark children's imagination about daily life in ancient Mesopotamia and consider how one girl's journey with God may inspire their own.
"The Call of Rebekah" is the first in Kyrka Books' series about women and girls in the Bible. The books are designed to enable the reader to:
Enter imaginatively into the story. What might the characters have been thinking or feeling? What may have happened around the events recorded in the Bible?
Be curious about ancient, foreign lives. What was daily life like? What did they eat, wear, do, play with, live in, care about?
Engage complex topics. People of all ages ask big questions. Our books aim to tell complex stories in an age-appropriate, relatable, and interesting way.
Find yourself in the epic narrative. The Bible is one big story that points to Jesus - and as such, we are each part of the story too!
