Children’s Stories is a collection of seven short ‘stories’ by JC Ryle, the evangelical Bishop of Liverpool in the late 19th century. They are short Bible talks he wrote for children, rather than simply Bible stories.
Bishop Ryle’s language is understandably outdated and modern day children would probably not respond well to being addressed as ‘dear children’ or as ‘good (or bad) boys and girls’ or ‘wicked’.
