my non catholic daughter is starting school in a catholic elementary school in two weeks. any bible-type books to get her quickly up to date on religion??
catholic schools these days are not all catholics...a small percentage are "other".... so she will not be the only non-catholic, but i want her to at least know the stories of the bible...

any ideas/thoughts would very much be appreciated...

These are somewhat geared toward children, however, they should give her a good start on understanding some of the basic Bible stories.

Children's Bible Stories and Funny Books for Kids Online

Childrens Bible Stories, Old Testament, Bible Stories about Jesus and The Apostles

Good luck on her new journey!

momoffive,
I am curious, will the children be taught about the Catholic faith and go to Mass? If you daughter is interested in finding answers to questions that Catholic teenagers have asked, there is an excellant book called "Did Adam and Even have belly buttons?"
Best of luck to her.
God bless us all.
Weather...

I would suggest the St. Joseph's edition of The Balitmore Catechism.

Although, it's not Bible stories, it is a basic catechism of the Catholic Faith for children.

There are also many children's catholic bibles out there available in catholic book stores.

On a side note, I am the product of 12 years of catholic school.....I can honestly say I had a wonderful experince, both as a child, and looking back as an adult, on my catholic schoole experience. I am truly grateful to my parents for this specific religious education.
