Book Summary

This beautiful hardback Bible storybook for 3-6-year-olds uses the Bible’s teaching on favoritism from James chapter 2 to encourage children to love and welcome people regardless of their wealth, personality, or background, just like Jesus does.

Jesus knows that everyone needs him to rescue them from their sin, and he welcomes anyone who is sorry and asks to be his friend. In this book, children will learn that Christians and churches are called to be like Jesus: to give a big, wide welcome to all kinds of people so that they can hear the good news for themselves.

From the author of the bestselling God’s Very Good Idea, a book celebrating diversity and dignity.

The compelling and catchy narrative ensures it will be a regular read around my house. Trillia introduces the concept of impartial and unconditional love as something ordinary, fundamental, and inherent to what we all want. This book will do much more than just introduce a conversationóit will help imprint this virtue on the heart of the reader, as well as the one being read to!
