People Jesus Met

by Stephanie Jeffs

Published 22 September 2000
One of a series of four child-friendly, small format books illustrated with attractive, busy pictures, this book features nine key stories about some of the people Jesus met and how their lives changed as a result. Stories include: Jesus and his friends, The paralysed man, Jairus' daughter, Martha and Mary, Bartimaeus, and Zacchaeus. Young readers are asked one question per picture to encourage them to pick out facts from each story, either about the background to the Bible (for example, "What kinds of toys can you see in the picture?") or key pieces of information ("How many special friends did Jesus have?")
