Children want to know about Jesus. They flocked to him in the past and they still do today. Little books like this will help them to understand the truth about Jesus, about who he is and what he has done for them. With key Bible verses as the focus this book shows Jesus throughout scripture. We see him as he was and is and will be.
Encourage your children to make friends with the friend of sinners, the Saviour of the world and the Lord of Glory. As they soak in God's word, pray that they will, with the power of the Holy Spirit, find a true and eternal relationship with Jesus Christ and that he will, truly be theirs.
The church is more than a building. The church is a group of people - a worldwide group of people that spans the whole of history. It includes those who worshipped God and looked forward to the promise of the Saviour and those who worshipped God and saw the fulfilment of God's promise in the Lord Jesus Christ. But it doesn't stop there - if you love and trust in Jesus Christ today you are part of this amazing group of people too.
Jesus Christ has promised to build his church - he adds to it daily - he cares for it more than we can understand.
Children and families need to know the truth about the church because children are not just the church of tomorrow, they are the church of today.

Children have questions about everything including God, the Bible, and Jesus. They want to know who God is. What did Jesus do? Why did he die? How do I get to heaven? My First Book about the Gospel will be a great help to children and families as they discover the truth of salvation through a deep but simple message that can answer all of their questions.
Children want to know what to do. They want to know why they do the things we do. They are full of questions and they need answers. As well as having amazing minds they have souls that need direction and care. The foundations that are laid in their young lives will stand firm in their adult live. With the work of the Holy Spirit these Christian principles and values will be eternal. Life changing values.
In a world where basic moral standards are eroded and neglected children need to be taught the firm truths of humility, generosity, truthfulness, purity and respect. In this book are thirty one different values that show us what Jesus Christ is like and how we should behave. Each value has a scripture verse to learn and a brief explanation.
You dont need to teach children to do wrong, but you do need to teach them to do right and to trust in the only one who is good, God!
Our chief purpose in life is to glorify God and enjoy him forever. God has revealed to us so much of his character and work in creation and providence and the Bible to help us to do this.
We will never grasp the great extent of his being but we can enjoy the little that we do understand. We cannot see the beauty and wonder of the whole world but we can enjoy even the view of the garden from the kitchen window or simply the little bird in the sky.
I pray that as you use this little book, you will see something of the wonder, majesty and glory of God. May this book help you to thank God for what he has told you about himself and then you will glorify and enjoy him.
