Summary

You wouldnt send a choir into a battle? Would you set up a sing-song in a stinking old jail? What would you cheer about if your enemy and all his chariots had just gone belly up in the Red Sea? Could you sing a cranky old king out of his bad mood? And what about when youve just lost everything youve ever loved and singing must be the last thing on your mind? Well, each one of these situations is a real life story in the Bible and in this book.Barbara Haley, an accomplished childrens author, weaves five tales of modern day children to tell true-life Bible stories in a new light.Winston doesnt have to battle with a choir but he does have to deal with his freaky aunt Frieda. Avery hasnt been chucked into prison but she discovers that people in jail do like to sing and that even she can be a bit off-pitch sometimes. Natalie isnt watching any chariots drown but her little brother teaches her that God is awesome. Mike is the one who is cranky and bored but he finds out that Gods got plans! And when Danielle doesnt feel like singing she finds that there are others worse off and that she can always tell God how wonderful he is.- The Singing Soldiers retells the story of Jehoshaphat.- Singing for Jailbirds retells the story of Paul and Silas Horses and Carrots retells the story of Moses and the Red Sea Strings and Kings retells the story of David and King Saul It has to be a Set up retells the story of Job.
