Bringing the Bible to Life is a collection of tried and tested ways to open up the stories of the Bible for children and families, drawing on the methodology of The Barnabas Children's Ministry Team from its work over the last ten years at special events, in schools and with churches across the UK. The material aims to make available to a wider audience the 'Barnabas approach' to working with children and the Bible. The Barnabas Team's distinctive contribution to the development of creative storytelling in relation to Bible stories is nationally recognised and appreciated by a wide range of Christians from different traditions.
