The words on the cover of this book tend to encourage us to continue to read. There may be two things that cause this: the magnetism of the words or the mystery of such a title as "The Gospel According to Mother Goose." This may suggest that there is something spiritual about the book, even though the original intention of the writers of "Mother Goose" rhymes was quite different. The purpose of this book is to bring together some of the words and characters found in the "Mother Goose" rhymes and those found in the biblical stories. My hope is that each complements the other. As a child, you may or may not have heard the words of the "Mother Goose" rhymes or the stories from the Bible. The values and norms seen in each rhyme have similarities to those found in the stories of the Bible. There are six areas of ultimate concern which tend to relate to a child's greatest need: security. Those six areas are as follows: The Fall, The Fear, The Faith, The Food, The Following, and The Fate. After a consideration of each part of the title of this book, each of these six areas is discussed. Each rhyme discussed is used to support these areas. More specifically, there is a consideration of the characters, their circumstances, and the consequences. For each story from the Bible used to support these areas, there are some of the same considerations.
