Adventures in the Gospels Vol. 1
Book Description
Volume One: The Beginning of Jesus' Earthly Ministry
Witness the wonders of the Gospels with volume one of Adventures in the Gospels, beautifully illustrated by Silvana Di Marcello. This engaging collection brings to life the early stories of Jesus—from his miraculous birth in Bethlehem to his powerful early ministry throughout Galilee.
Young readers will discover the wonder of the Christmas story, witness Jesus' childhood visit to the temple, and join John the Baptist as he prepares the way. Follow along as Jesus calls his first disciples, performs his first miracles, and delivers his revolutionary teachings on the mountainside—including the Beatitudes and the Lord's Prayer.
Each story includes "What's the Point" sections that reveal the deeper meaning of each biblical account, along with "Look Back" and "Check This Out" features that connect Old Testament prophecies with their New Testament fulfilment. Thought-provoking questions encourage children to apply these timeless truths to their own lives.
Perfect for family devotions, Sunday School classes, or independent reading, this volume lays the foundation for understanding Jesus' life and teachings. With accessible language and captivating storytelling, children will be drawn into the greatest story ever told—discovering not just what Jesus did, but who He is and why He came.
