Homes and Families by John Drane

A boy learns to farm the land….a girl threads the family loom… a family gathers for the annual Passover festival…. A village wedding is celebrated with songs and dancing... Here are scenes from family life in Bible times - the everyday tasks to be carried out, the pattern of seasons in the farming year, the excitement of festivals and celebrations, the shared grief of funerals in tightly-knit communities. This ten-volume series uncovers the exciting real-life story of the Bible. Collect all the books in the Bible World series and build a reference library that you will turn to again and again. Get to know the people of the Bible - their land, their history, their lives, their heroes and their beliefs.
