Who’s Who and Where’s Where
Best-Selling Author Details Most Famous People and Places of
the Bible—for Kids!


Uhrichsville, OH—Where can you find Hell on a map? What does the name Sarah mean? And exactly how strong was Samson? Find the answers to questions like these and additional insights into the Bible in Who’s Who and Where’s Where in the Bible for Kids by Stephen M. Miller (Barbour Publishing, August 2006), author of a similarly named, best-selling title for adults.

Geared for kids ages 8–12, this book features 75 of the most famous people and 25 of the most famous places in the Bible, from Aaron to Zacchaeus and Babylon to the Sea of Galilee. A reference resource for homeschoolers, Sunday school classes, and for those who want to dig deeper during family devotions, each entry covers the five “W’s” and includes full-color illustrations such as maps, cartoon “narrators,” photographs, and classic paintings, bringing the biblical stories to life.

Kids will learn facts like:

§ Ruth was the great-grandmother of King David.
§ Samson was strong enough to kill a lion with his bare hands.
§ Three famous miracles took place at the Sea of Galilee.
§ The Jordan River is the biggest river in Israel and one of the most famous in the world.
§ The name “Job” means “Where is God?”

“My writing isn’t fancy,” says Miller. “It’s not going to sound like a teacher giving a lecture. It’s going to sound like a friend talking. I had a blast writing it.”
