Ella K. Lindvall's Read Aloud Bible Stories have been favorites in our home for over a decade. After purchasing the entire set, I noticed "Parables Jesus Told: The Tell-Me Stories" on Amazon one day and wondered why it was branded separately and not included in the series. Nonetheless, I purchased it and we have added it to our set. I could only come up with two conclusions:
1) These are parables, stories Jesus told to instruct as opposed to non-fiction accounts of Jesus, and they wanted to treat them differently, and/or
2) Ms. Lindvall was planning to write additional titles that contained parables.
Apparently, I wasn't the only one confused, because in 2015, the publisher released this SAME content as Volume 5 in the Read Aloud Bible Series. So, if you have this cover, you have what is now branded with a new cover as Volume 5.
While the type of story, being parables, is different from the other Read Aloud/ Lindvall books, we found these stories no less enjoyable. Happy to recommend them whether they are Read Aloud Volume 5 or Parables Jesus Told: The Tell-Me Stories. These adult complexities will not diminish your children's enjoyment of the stories one bit!
