Hi John,

Stories of the Prophets for Ibn Kathir (its a part from a big historic book called "Al-Bidayah wa An-Nihayah" "The Beginning and the End") you will find it here:

Im not sure if there is a translation of the whole book, but there is two parts of it is that is translated and Stories of the Prophets (which talks about the true religion of all of the Prophets peace be upon them) is one of them which will help you alot, because understanding the story of the Prophets will lead you to understand Islam more.

sorry for the late reply

Peace
