Joshua and the Brave New Beginning

About this story

What comes next for Joshua? Join Eli, Maya and Mum as they begin a new part of the Bible story. Moses has died, and God gives Joshua the responsibility of leading Israel across the River Jordan. God tells Joshua to be strong and courageous, promises to be with him, and instructs him to remember and follow the law Moses gave him. Joshua is to think deeply about these words by day and by night and put them into practice. The river crossing has not happened yet in this selected retelling. Separate fictional garden scenes show Eli asking to help care for a little plant. Mum makes room for his worry, shows him how to check the soil and helps him practise, while Maya draws a reminder picture. The 29-page digital edition includes fourteen distinct illustrated story scenes, Bible references, seven questions, My Little Caring Plan, a short prayer and two activities: My Little Learning Picture and Pause, Ask, Try. Grown-up notes explain the conquest context and the particular promises to Joshua. These promises are not presented as guarantees of wealth, perfect results or freedom from danger. The opening briefly names Moses’s death, but no death, burial, mourning or battle scene is illustrated. Children can ask for help, pause, point, draw or listen. The PDF has searchable interior text. The matching fixed-layout EPUB 3 preserves the illustrated pages and needs a compatible reader; text does not resize separately.
