Publisher Description: Curse or Blessing? "How can I get rid of these people before they start a war?" King Balak asked himself. God's people, the Israelites, rested in the country of Moab after forty years of wandering. They had won many battles against other nations. Balak, the king of Moab and Midian, hired the prophet, Balaam, to curse Israel so the immigrants would go away. Some imaginary glops became friends with the prophet's donkey. Together with Balaam, they went to the king. Amazing events took place during and after their trip. How did God step in to make Balaam do what God wanted? The Story of Glops Series The fictional, shape-shifting glops help the reader stay engaged by voicing the concerns and feelings that are invoked by true Bible stories. They elaborate on important historical facts and traditions. Chief messages throughout the series are that our Father God wants us to know and love Him, He always keeps His promises, He always answers our prayers, and His plans are infinitely better than our own. The Story of Glops series strikes the perfect balance between reality and fantasy in the genre of children's literature. The writing style and photos are appropriate for school-age children giving them opportunities to imagine how life was in Biblical times. There is depth to these stories, but the author presents them in a way that captures the imagination of anyone of any age who reads them. |
