the hear me read series

In 2003, the Hear Me Read series received the Platinum Book Award from the Evangelical Church Publishers Association for recognition of more than 1 million copies sold. The books, which have been translated into five languages, are targeted to children who are perched on the edge of reading God's Word for themselves. Each book uses 25 words (or less!) to tell a complete Bible story.
