Recently I have read "The Blinded Army." It is a children's story book which recounts 2 Kings 6:8-23. It is beautifully illustrated with watercolor pictures. At the end of the story it has a page speaking about why we should not fear because "the LORD thy God is with thee". It was written by a small group of sisters in British Columbia and supported and printed by the Okanagan Central Christadelphian Ecclesia. I would recommend it to any with children and any who are young at heart!

"The Blinded Army" can be ordered from some of the local Logos book carriers. (In case you cannot find them, Bro. Bob Davies in Hamilton, Canada has the books: phone: 905-385-7339, address: 289 East 31st Street, Hamilton, Ontario, L8M 3A3, Canada).
