Brief Description
God made you and me and He loves you and me, but we have disobeyed God’s perfect rules. God saw that we were lost and sent Jesus His Son to die for us. We must ask God’s forgiveness and trust in Him. The Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ is the most important truth to teach our children. This books lays it out in 10 clear statements that relate God to the child and the parent. The sweet illustrations are designed to engage the reader as they are told about everything Jesus has done for them. The good news of the gospel is simple enough for young children to understand and deeply important to teach them.
The book has sweet and symbolic animal illustrations, simply presented Biblical truths, and relational and repetitive wording (for you and me). The book will help children understand the gospel and God’s offer of salvation in a memorable way.
