More than a collection of Bible stories, this vividly illustrated children's book tells the big picture of the Bible-from the creation of the world to the calling of Israel to Jesus's victory over death. Many Bible storybooks offer stand-alone stories, which reduces biblical narrative to moral fables rather than showing how they are a part of a larger redemptive drama. Designed for children ages 4 to 8, The Story of King Jesus is the gospel told in a single story-one designed to be read in one sitting. The thoughtful illustrations nurture a child's spiritual curiosity and draw them deeper into biblical truth. This unique book also includes a letter to parents introducing the concept of the gospel as a story and offering suggestions for how to use the book with their children.
