Brilliant. You will want to read this with your children. Clear story-telling combines with evocative artwork, and the gospel shines through. --Josh Moody - Senior Pastor, College Church, Wheaton, Illinois
I’ve longed for a book like this, and now it's here. Laferton has written a book that will help parents in teaching their children about the greatest news―the gospel―they could ever know. --Trillia Newbell - Author of The Big Wide Welcome
