The Simple Little Salvation Story

Book excerpt: Engage and energize young readers with a fresh take on the Gospel story of Jesus. Charmingly illustrated and very accessible, The Simple Little Salvation Story takes readers on a journey to help them easily understand God's loving plan of salvation. And it helps parents answer lots of difficult questions along the way -- like why did Jesus have to die for our sins? And what are sins, anyway?The Simple Little Salvation Story isn't just a retelling of Bible stories with colorful pictures and short sentences. In fact it doesn't even start with Adam and Eve. It starts with robots. Yes, robots. Then it moves into skateboarding and helping senior citizens across the street. And then it introduces what sin is and God's amazing plan to wash us clean of it so we can live with Him forever. So add some of Jesus' dramatic story to your story time. Or give it to a child or grandchild on a special religious occasion or holiday. It will help explain – in an engaging way with beautiful illustrations from noted artist Shirley Chiang – what all this Christian salvation stuff is about, anyway.
