Summary

Does your child love listening to Bible stories? Perhaps they find them little dull and predictable?

The Boy and the Battle is a re-imagining of the epic battle between the boy David and the giant, Goliath.

When listening to this story, children will be able to picture the scene, perhaps imagine themselves as David and understand that this is a real story, about a real child, just like them.

If you'd like your child to understand that there are real challenges in life, but that God is there for us through them all, then this is the right audiobook for you! Help your childre prepare for life in the real world, by getting to know more about the story and character David, a man after God's own heart.

Story was fine

The story was fine but I found the narrator so slow. A bit more passion and pace would have been perfect

Fantastic retelling

I love that this was definitely a child friendly retelling. It used simple language and did not fixate on the more violent side of the story.

giant in small package

A retelling done in a was that easy to follow and easy to understand .
It doesn't pull it punches and tells the story properly but also doesn't glorify the gore or anything .
short sweet well produced bible story .
Can recommend to anyone wanting to pass on these story's to try next generation.

Inspiring biblical story for kids!

My eight year old daughter loved this story! It stays true to the biblical narrative and still has all the details nothing censored for children. My daughters favourite parts were that she said that she felt part of the battle and understood the characters like she knew them. Her only criticism was that the narrators voice for David sometimes was a little shrill.
